For those who feed raw food, how many chicken wings might a 20-pound dog eat in a day?

If a person were feeding chicken wings and nothing else (which I know, shouldn't be the only food they eat, but I'm experimenting with food sensitivities, so at the moment they're getting one thing).



I know it varies by dog, etc., but if you could guess, I'd be grateful. (I mean, people who have experience feeding raw food could guess...)For those who feed raw food, how many chicken wings might a 20-pound dog eat in a day?
Around 8 ounces. Or 0.5lbs.



What you do is take the dogs weight, multiply it by 2 to 3 percent and then go from there. Sometimes the dogs looks a little chucky and you lower the amount, sometimes you raise the amount because the dog is getting skinny.

It is kind of a guestimate. You really have to go off the dog after you start feeding raw.

You want to feed chicken wings, but you will need to add a little organ in there as well. The dividing up is 80% muscle meat, 10% bone and 10% organ(half of which has to be liver, I just feed 10% liver).

It is just a guide above, but it is the general balance you want to get with feeding raw prey model.For those who feed raw food, how many chicken wings might a 20-pound dog eat in a day?
Just raw chicken wings eh, I guess it depends on how active the dog is and the breed you are feeding.



In response to the person who claims to be a veterinary technician. I really do not understand why you people have a problem with raw chicken. Dogs eat birds in the wild and besides which, it is the wings that are an excellent tool for cleaning the teeth. If you have a cat, you provide one raw chicken wing a week and it prevents a lot of dental trouble. A dog on a raw diet should benefit equally from eating chicken wings, as it also provides natural nutrients, vitamins and minerals.



Chicken bones are fairly soft and pose no danger to either a dog or a cat. Humans from other cultures eat cooked chicken bones.For those who feed raw food, how many chicken wings might a 20-pound dog eat in a day?
Although I am not accurately able to answer this question nor give you the answer you are most likely looking for; please heed this warning..You should NOT feed dogs raw chicken wings. Here are 2 solid reasons I know why from my 20 years of experience:



1. Uncooked chicken carries a harmful bacteria called salmonella. The only way ot can be removed from chicken is to be cooked out of it. This bacteria will reek havoc with your dog's intestinal track; causing vomiting, diarrhea and pain..



2. Animals should not eat chicken bones because when chewed they splinter and fall apart. They then can be swallowed and can cause tearing %26amp; shredding in the intestinal tract %26amp; stomach.Splintering happens in Pork %26amp; chicken bones..
