Irishrose2, their current dog is on a commercial raw food diet recommended by their breeder. DD says it is a lot easier on them and very cost effective, especially considering the price of meat here.
They made their own for their first Aussie and if I remember correctly, it included a bone meal supplement. But Maya loved her bone in chicken. I can remember her attacking raw chicken wings when she was a wee baby of about 4 pounds. It was quite a sight!
