I am so excited to be feeding our brand new puppy, Tucker, a raw food diet but also a bit unsure.
I just posted that he swallowed a chicken wing whole and I am a bit nervous to give him more bones.
Here are my ?'s:
1-can an egg be given daily as a snack, whole meal or mixed w/ other food?
2-we are blessed to have a raw dairy source and am wondering if raw cow/goat milk, kefir, and yogurt are ok to give? If yes how much?
3-I have read to feed pups 3 or 4 times a day, is this right?
4-how much time in between a meal?
5-other than chicken wings, which boney meats can i feed this guy?
Thank you so much in advance!!

Welcome and congrats on the new baby!

Check out Chance's "Beginner's Guide..." that I just bumped to the top. It is loaded with great information for getting started. I also bumped Charlie's guide to proteins/cuts and the "So you are interested in raw..." thread.

Take a dive into this information to get a feel for what a balanced raw diet looks like. Then come back and ask questions. We are here to help!

To answer your questions, I have never heard of needing to feed a puppy so many times per day. I can't offer much help there.

Definitely feed chunks that are bigger than the pup's head to avoid another gulping incident.

And as for kefir, milk, etc., that's really a matter of personal choice. I would treat it more as a supplement than an integral part of the diet itself. Many of us here follow a prey model raw diet and do not count these extras as part of the diet.

Eggs are a great addition to the diet, but not absolutely necessary. They are rich and should be introduced slowly. You might focus for now on reading up on starting a dog off on raw, and build up to including eggs later.

Good luck!
