A few yrs ago his teeth were turning a light brown. The vet showed us pictures of teeth that were really far advanced in decay. "Never feed the dog antlers she told us or cooked bones, too hard and they break the teeth. Now raw-that's different. Two raw bones and I could not believe the whiteness of the teeth again. So he gets the one bone per week to keep them white.
Yes we still have the two cats on top of the ladder.
Raw meat has an enzyme that helps with teeth.
We don't run a raw food diet due to clean up after so many dogs/feedpans/eating areas ect..
About ten percent bone is a standard for some raw diets. But of course care chosen in type of bone and how it is fractured on larger bone.
We loaned a stud out to a breeder awhile that had raw diet. He did good.
I give seasonal bones raw , but not steady. Probably should year round though...
