Where are you going to get the bone that chicken provides?

Without bone, your raw diet is going to produce a nitrogen/phosphorus imbalance which isn't good (pups will get ricketts, etc.).

So, if you do this, make sure you supply bone meal, etc. to keep your calcium ratios higher than your phosphorus/nitrogen ratios.

I feed beef most of the time. I get it for free at the butchers. I give whole cow legs with fur and everything once every other week. The leg lasts about a week, and they get all their calcium needs from it. If you can't find bones i suggest u follow jacks tip.

I feel that the darker the meat it is, the more nutrient dense it is. One of my favorite feeds is mince beef with chiken collar bones or wings. Bones is a must for me and I always judge by the quality of the stool.
