You might note that, contrary to what  you may believe, feeding a 100% raw meat diet alone is not a balanced diet for your canine, even though they are carnivores.  They also need to eat many other foods, as did their ancestors in the wild, the wolves and wild dogs of old.  This included many things besides meat,  borne out of necessity during times when hunting was very  scarce.  Their diet consisted of a variety of things such as pine needles, dirt, other animal droppings, grass, berries, root tubers, and of course left over kills from other animals.

 **Vitamin C tablets (Ascorbic acid)
We use and recommend Ester-C, which has been shown to be more easily absorbed and more efficiently used
by the body.

 500 mg daily, increasing the dosage slowly as he gets older up to 1000 mg. daily as his bowels can tolerate, to the age of 6 months.  Slowly increase the dosage to 1500-2000 mg. daily from 6 months of age into adulthood.  If stools become too loose, back off on the quantity and again slowly increase until they can tolerate the larger dosage. This vitamin has shown promise for developing a more solid, dense bone in your young animal due to slow and steady bone growth.  Continue this potent anti-oxidant into old age for your dog. 

   You may feed one small meal every couple of days of raw turkey or chicken necks / backs, in place of the raw beef or canned food.  You may want to assist them initially by slightly chopping the bones up, which will help them better manage their new eating experience.  It won't take long and they will know exactly what to do with the bones for themselves! 
                   

                                              Feed your dog Raw Meaty Bones on a regular basis. 

  In addition to the meals listed above, We recommend that you feed your puppy, as well as your adult dog, plenty of Raw Meaty Bones on a regular basis. 

Raw Meaty Bones  are extremely beneficial for your young pup as it grows and begins to produce it's bone structure as it grows and matures.   There are many beneficial gifts that your puppy will derive from eating raw meaty bones.  Supplying your pup with raw bones for him to eat is an excellent way to insure a healthy production of strong and solid bones for his later health in life and to help guard against hip dysplasia and arthritis.  Raw bones are safe for your puppy, but not the cooked bones of chicken or turkey, as cooking will cause them to splinter when they are eaten.  Cooking also removes much of the benefits they will derive from the raw bones, such as vitamins and minerals, as well as additional fat which is for the most part cooked off during the cooking process. Fat has been shown to be an excellent source of oils containing vitamins A and D for healthy and problem free skin and coat. The  raw bone marrow has been credited for building strength into the pups own bones as well, and gives him a boost of easily and readily available protein in a form that is the best way for him to absorb it into his system and make it usable to the pup as he grows. .Bone marrow is excellent for proper development of their own bones and joints, insuring their proper overall structural growth.     Large knuckle bones, which are available from your butcher, also provide excellent benefit to your puppy as well as your adult dog.  Raw Meaty Bones   will provide them with great chewing exercise, as well as overall bodily exercise for most of the muscles in their body.  This is achieved as they grasp the bone between their paws, tensing up their muscles all over in an effort to hold, chew on, and keep the bone in their grasp.  This is much the same as a stretching or isometric exercise, and they will be focused entirely on this bone for many hours.  This provides them with nothing short of sheer enjoyment and works to keep the pup's body in excellent hard, lean and firm condition.  It is also a very good way to keep those young pups occupied and out of trouble...at least for a while!
  Raw Meaty Bones   are a very inexpensive way for your dog to keep his mouth full of clean, sparkling white teeth, along with healthy gums and fresh breath Clean teeth and healthy gums will contribute to his overall health and body condition, promoting a longer healthier life, free of gum disease and eating problems as they become older dogs.
 

  You can also make up some great treats containing many of the above items.  Be creative, mixing up what your dog likes best.  You can prepare and mix the items like cookie dough, then roll them out and cut them up like you would small cookies, baking them and making up small freezer bags full of little "doggie cookie treats".  Keep these stored in your freezer until you are ready to use them.  They will be readily available to you and your dog whenever you may need them.  These make excellent training treats, and you can use them each time you take your puppy out to work with him.
