just starting need help

[Special Effex]

I have two Akitas kenji is 7 months 70 lbs and zena is a year 85lbs, wathed your vids two or three times and started feeding chicken quarters cut up or split I should say, I give kenji a leg, a couple gizzards, a couple livers, and a egg in the morning. at night I feed him the other half of the quarter he was doing well the first two days but last night he had the runs all night about every two hours I was taking him out, this morning he vomited all foamy liquid and did not want to eat the leg. is this normal and do you think I am feeding him ok, Tonight I cut the skin off the quarter and he ate that ok. he seems to be doing ok now.
Zena will not touch a raw quarter she will play with it but will not eat it, I found some ground up turke at the supermarket for $1.19 16oz she loves this with the veggies mix I also give kenji t tablespoons of veggie mix at night, so I have been feeding zena the ground turkey with an egg, veggie mix, and some brown rice. she will not eat a bone for nothing. How do you get a dog to eat a bone? as far as zenas food been feeding about 2lbs a day does this seem right? would it help to cook the chicken leg for about two min so it just cooks the outside somewhat and nothing else, I read this somewhere to get your dog to eat the leg then cut back over time on the cooking or seering, or is this a bad idea. My wife hates this raw feeding but I keep assuring her it is for the better.
Also what is your thought on grinding the meat and bone and organs and feeding this way?
Thank you for the help

you could grind it, but that would prevent the benefit of cleaning theyre teeth naturally....

my dogs had the same issue the first couple days, for the most part my portions werent really dialed in... are you using any kind of filler?? i used boiled brown rice...theyre carbs, & a filler... i dont know if that was the reason of theyre success or not, but the stools were smaller & firmer then ever. I also cut back on the liver as liver i hear will give the shits,

follow jacks eco raw plan to a T, then start playing with the other stuff slowly and see the reaction, cant go wrong......

I gave zena brown rice mixed with the ground turkey tonight she will eat this just will not eat a bone, its crazy she does not like any kind of bone or chew stick! I ordered some chicken necks and backs from the butcher today hopefully this is ok also

may not hurt to add a tad of bacon grease or something to entice??

If the diarrhea has only been a short time. try some canned pumpkin given couple times a day.
Searing the meat with a little garlic powder in the oil might help. Your on the right track.

Last night was a repeat with kanji, out about every two hours, I will try the pumpkin thank you

Adjust your dog's feed the right way. 1st day:give 3/4 kibbles + 1/4 raw
2nd day:give 1/2 kibbles 1/2 raw, 3rd day: 1/4 kibbles 3/4 raw
4th day: all raw(add small amount of kibbles if necessary)
Good luck, it doesn't look good over night but be patient and in time, it'll pay off with less stool, and healthier dogs.

I was told with raw it needs to be cold turkey to to the digestive speed...

I am on day 4 I would hate to go back to kibble, I tried the pumpkin and he barfed it up and still has diarherra. I tried seering the meat for two minutes for my older dog that worked great, she loved the meat but when she got to the bone stopped, she picked all the meat off the bone, unbelievable

cut out the liver only and see if that clears it up. You dog shoud only get maybe half a chicken liver every other day. That's more than enough

If they won't eat it, leave it for them for 15 min and then pick up. After a few days, they'll eat it.

I don't understand the problem a lot of folks talk about on her with the "shits". I had some take right to the diet and others it took a few days. Not one ever had the runs. Lucky I guess.

I only feed the organ stuff every other day and my dogs do great and look great as well.
They get quarters one day
Next day, they quarters and "guts" which consiste of yogurt, gizzards, liver, eggs and oil

Works like a charm
