First time feeding raw am i doin it right ? Ive read the book 3 times read dam near every thread on here just reassuring myself.

I'm feeding the Blue ridge puppy mix " ground beef,chicken, tripe, beef heart, liver ground chicken bone "
http://www.blueridgebeef.com/products-mix.html
I add
2 oz of yougurt
2 oz of veg grind
2 oz half a multi vitamin ground
1 oz of salmon oil
soft boiled egg
Total wieght feed is 20% of 12 week old pup
At what age should I stop feeding puppy mix and go to adult raw food.

All guidance is helpful and im thankful.

Yes, I agree, that looks excellent!

I am also feeding the Blue Ridge Beef frozen raw food, and I am impressed with the quality of it.

Do you know what the percentage of bone is in the Puppy Mix?

I emailed the company and asked them about their Chicken and Venison grinds with bone and they told me the bone ratio in those is 10%. So I wonder if they have more bone in the Puppy Mix? I am feeding an old dog but I like what's in the Puppy Mix so might try one of those next time I am up there.

They also said they get the venison from a deer farm there in NC, and the chicken is also from a local farm.

How much are you paying for a 2 pound chub of the food? It was $2.55 when I first bought it and now is at $2.70. Still a good value and I am happy to get it. :D

That really is a hulluva deal, $1.35/lb already ground and proportioned-out for you.

interesting, the first puppy edition i see which has less protein instead of more

i personally never give any special food for pups. just the same grind raw as i gave adults, but more and more often

Its not really a backfire lol...a 12 wk old pup can handle wing, thigh or back bones and they are better off. It works great when they are teething cause it helps get the baby teeth out. :)

So I had a buddy ask me this morning what I did I feed for veggies. Here it is. It makes feeding so easy. There is no excuse for feeding your dog kibble when stuff like this is on the market.

Their stool isnt as firm as id like it to be and green should i cut back on naturals mix and what is everyones feelings about adding in the mix period. Thanks again for all the great input and help.

In my experience mixes like that can be a bit high on the liver content. That could explain the looser stool. Or it might just be a transition period.
