Since we go back to 1998 or so, the most information available in the emerging trend of raw feeding was on BARF diets - biologically appropriate raw food. I read and researched the topic and fed a combination of meaty bones, organs, as well as fruit and veggies and some dairy products.
Commercial diets were not readily available way back when in the age of raw feeding dinosaurs <G> so I made my own veggie/fruit mess and added it to raw ground meat of all kinds. Making the mixture involved buying three leaves of every green thing found in the produce section (yes, some funny looks there) and spending up to two hours blending those to produce green goo. Even the blender used to cringe. LOL I would freeze it in relatively flat shape and actually break off pieces for individual feedings as necessary.
I will get more into it but nowdays I do not use any fruit or veggies, they are not readily digested by dogs and probably not very beneficial. Do they hurt any? As long as the rest of the diet is proportional and balance, no. Do they help? Probably not.
Next - more on raw feeding. <G> Any special requests?
