Try searching for 'BARF' and 'feeding dogs raw', lots of stuff comes up, I'm sure someone will be along shortly with some specific links.

If it will help I can give you a weekly summary of what my husky eats on a raw diet? As a breed they seem to be highly intolerant of grain-based food, wheat in particular, and many do poorly and have diarrhoea on commercial feeds.

How old is he/she, how much do they weigh, what are they being fed at the moment?

There is also a sticky at the top of the page.

Any more questions ask away!

This is the sticky-lots of info. I suggest starting the dog on chicken breast meat/fillet to see if he/she likes it. Some dogs are a bit odd about raw meat: my adult dog won't eat some things but is fine with others. Persist, the dog may take a while to get used to a new way of eating.

all mine are fed raw, they all eat what the butcher cuts off and cant sell, i get sacks of raw meat & bones every week, they all look very well, have great coats and nice clean teeth, i started to feed it as i had two bitches i could never get any weight on, they are nice and round now
