my aunt does the all raw diet when you intro the dog to the new diet like any new diet slowly intro them on to it by slowly take little amounts of the food they have now and add more and more of the new food
chicken
turkey
beef
you will need plenty of veggies with it here is a site that will help
I used to work for a Great Dane breeder who did an amazing job with a raw diet. They daily meal was raw hamburger any type really your best bet is to buy in bulk, bag of frozen vegetables I would mix it up during the week they pretty much aren’t to picky, and they also received a lot of daily vitamins and supplements.
Regular package meat. You should also do a ton of research before feeding raw, or email some of the people who do feed raw and give you information on here, to get a better idea of everything. Dogs who are fed raw need to be given a wide variety of foods to be getting all of the essential nutrients; it isn’t as simple as throwing a package of raw meat into his bowl. He’ll also need things like carrots, whole eggs, and bananas.
But I’m not an expert, and I don’t feed my dog raw.
The brand of meat varies from owner to owner but your better off giving your dogs an organic brand of meat since many animals are pumped full of steroids and other garbage.
I personally by directly from a local farmer/butcher. It’s cheaper, I get a better quality and cut of meat. Talk to your local butcher, abbotoir, or chicken processor. Many of the leftovers that these guys consider waste, us raw feeders people consider fantastic for our dogs. Things like chicken carcasses, chicken necks, chicken feet, and chicken heads are considered rubbish, and are sold for next to nothing. You should be able to get these fairly easily.
You can also try things like pigs’ trotters (that’s pig’s feet), ox tail, lamb’s necks. Some people also have access to ostrich carcasses, moose and deer. Be creative. And don’t forget raw whole fish!
Also if you are a hunter you can feed your dog the raw meat from the animals you kill.
You dog will need a variety of meats and organs as well as very few veggies(carrots are good), eggs(in their shells) and other foods. However to start off you should pick one meat as a base (chicken is usually best) and stick with it for about a week or so. Then start bringing in organs and other meats to see what your dog likes.
Do as much research on this as you can. Look at websites, talk to other raw feeders, read books. Research, Research, Research.

Start reading.
Your dog’s first meat should be chicken then you can slowly introduce organs and then start seeing what other varieties of meat your dogs like.
Also to feed veggies or not is up to YOU. Dogs are carnivores first and foremost. If it makes you feel more comfortable know they are getting their “veggies” I suggest feeding green tripe. This is the stomach lining of cows and will have some residual plant matter, not a lot but then dogs need little to none to begin with. If you feed tripe it must be green and you will not find that in the grocery store.
