So I am going to be feeding preground meat/bone for Winston. Last time I fed raw to my dogs I used various preground meats with bone (bison, turkey, chicken) and then added liver and turkey hearts.
What is a good mix for Schnauzers? Liver, necks, hearts, eggs, kale, veggies (from what I understand veggies are more of a personal preferance) Just dont want winston to miss out on any nutrients he needs. Ill be trying fish this time as well.
And sorry in advance I have a hard time navigating/using tapatalk

Re: What to feed with meat/bone?
The advice I have read is 80% meat, 10% bone and 10% offal.
I then go by poo! If the dog is straining or the poo is dry and crumbly I reduce bone or feed just mince for a day or two. Too sloppy and I increase bone.

You may want to add salmon or coconut oil to help his skin…….or even some oily fish, although some dogs don't tolerate fish too well if fed whole ;)

There's a reason not to feed wild caught salmon but I cant remember why
