Thankyou! ....might have to source a grain free food first. While the food I give Bear has good 'numbers' it does contain whole grains. The few grain free foods I've found here is aus seem to have high cal/phos & protein. Do you feed large portions so they have to chew it or do you chop it up so even if they do swallow whole it won't get stuck? If feeding chicken do you leave skin on? Did you have any issues with him rejecting the kibble after getting raw meals?
Titan eats pork chops with bones and all. With the raw bones, it will not hurt them and they instinctively chew the bones a few or couple of times before swallowing, the stomach acid takes care of the rest. Yes, I leave skin on unless there is a lot of fat, I will cut that off.
Titan used to eat his meat whole but now I cut it him into medium-sized pieces before he will eat it.
Titan eats the kibble with his raw chicken feet and yes, there are some days he leaves the kibble but eats the chicken feet. I continue to place the kibble down until he eats it, i.e. he gets kibble no meat the next morning. I then feed him his meat at the evening meal.
Be advised that eating raw that they will regurgitate. The first time Titan did it, I freaked out but learned this is normal. It's actually kind of gross to watch them regurgitate.
