I'm thinking of supplementing my two dogs with raw. They are currently on a limited ingredient holistic food that is 25% protein, 14% fat, 4% fiber, 2.1% calcium, and 1.5% phosphorus. It works very well for them. They both have mild allergies to grains.
I have access to lots of fresh veggies for free and can get a dozen organic free-range eggs for $3 per dozen as well as chicken feet for $1 per lb. That is where I would want to start. And then, if I found other inexpensive but good options I would add that as well. I do not want to go all raw due to time and convenience. I would like to supplement because I think it would be healthy and frankly, the food I feed them is really expensive, hard to find, and with limited ingredients, I would like to see them get a wider variety. I do feed toppers of grain free holistic canned food and vary the types of protein.
Is there anything wrong with this plan?
In an effort to keep the boys slim (they have a tendency to gain weight) I'm assuming I should look at calories and reduce the kibble the amount of calories of the raw food (with exception of the veggies)?
