I start pups at 3 weeks with raw ground beef. I make little marble sized meatballs and pop em right in their mouths. They suck on em and "get it" in just a few tries. Next thing you know you'll have a bunch of little babies crawling up your legs to get more.! Bones I wait till 5 or 6 weeks. Raw chicken breasts are great. Lots of meat, so they get the "ripping and tearing" down, and softer bone. Some can't get thru the bone at first, but the do have fun trying. Chicken necks that I bang up a bit with a rubber mallet are useful. They are real fun outside, so each baby can grab one and go munch in their spot.
In their mush mix they do get the ground beef blended in with goats milk and baby cereal too.
From what we've learned/read try to think of using the whole animal, so meat, and different organs, and bones (that aren't too hard). You can sorta gauge by the stool if they are getting too much or not enough of something. Too hard of stool-too much bone, or runny stool maybe too much organ or not enough bone. Really it's pretty easy.
Also, you are not suppose to feed "weight baring" bones like legs cause those will break the dogs teeth. You can use those bones for "recreation bones" to just have fun and chew on, but when the meat is gone take it away. The only bones on a cow we can feed are the ribs, so we also give Zelda chicken quarters and backs.
I think Pat (my husband) is going to get Zelda some...let's just call it veal (so I don't get sad) from the farm. I think those bones would be okay for dogs.
Raw is good for the dogs coat and you wouldn't believe how white their teeth get. Plus there is hardly any poop out in the yard for the kids to step in. LOL

I fed those raw balls of ground beef when the pups were just a week old and yep they soon get the hang of it. Suck it from your hand. Thanks for that Nikki read your post on MD I mix baby cereal with the ground beef with goat's milk which I must admit is good. When I cant get the goat's millk I put one raw egg yolk mixed with one litre of milk.
I cant exactly say how much in quantity I feed my dogs a day especially in summer months they get a fair size meal twice a day and Im at the shops daily. I do cook pasta and rice and add veg which is normally spinach, bok choy and pumkin which I make into a soup and mix in with the meat and starch. They like eggs, tuna, most white fish and occasionally fruit like bananas. Pawpaw (Papaya) was a favourite for most my dogs in Africa they used to wait for the ripe fruit to drop and I used to have to be pretty fast to get it before the dogs.. LOL I have planted 20 trees so plenty to share. I am buying between the butcher and the supermarket and go for the specials but once out of town will have a regular arrangement with the local slaughterhouse which will save me heaps as there are two in my area.
