My dog has been eating about 2-3 pounds of ONLY leg quarters for 2 years now. He's happy and healthy. Everyone thinks he's "skinny" but that's call Lean & Helathy. Whitest teeth ever too . Thank you for sharing your opinion
Raw diet is what’s best for dogs speaking broadly. Chicken leg quarters are an excellent base source of protein, calcium and fat. It’s not complete though. Secreting organ meat (I.E.: liver, kidney) contains vitamins that are mostly missing from leg quarters. Also some source omega-3 fats are highly desirable. I use fish oil capsules or sardines (that are packed in water only). I’d feed whole tilapia if I had a source for it. Most people greatly overdo vegetable matter. I add about a tablespoon of canned spinach to a meal. About the amount a canine would consume if it caught and ate an entire cottontail rabbit.
I made this mistake actually...was only giving legs and a thigh and it made him a little sick I think. Going to only leg quarters now. It has the spine attached for calcium.
It’s perfectly OK to feed dogs other types of protein. As a matter of fact, you should! Feeding only chicken can give dogs an allergy to it. Look up: canine chicken allergy. You can give completely boneless protein, but then you *must* add the calcium yourself. If you don’t, at minimum, you’ll give your dog diarrhea. At worst you can mess up their calcium/phosphorus level and make them very sick. Eventually, if it continues, they’ll begin leeching away the calcium in their own bones. The way I do it is I buy human grade Calcium from Walmart or any pharmacy, crush up between 600-1200 MGs of the pills and mix it in the meal. SUPER IMPORTANT DETAIL: Get calcium that is *not* fortified with D3. I can’t stress this enough! Dogs produce D3 on their own and the additive will make them sick.
@@sswwooppee Yeah ive been using pork ribs and some chicken for now. I noticed he wont really touch most raw meat unless it sits out for a few hours and gets to room temperature.
Those are all good things nutritionally. The issue with pork neck bones is they are mechanically cut. They can have sharp edges dogs can hurt themselves with.

I didn’t have any problems for 3 years… until I did. I just dropped $1700 bc a thigh got stuck in his stomach, he’s a 110# Dogo Argentino…

@@Tinfoiledhat as long as your dog is chewing his food properly, it doesn’t matter whether it’s frozen or not.
My Boston Terrier is an 18-pound puppy. Why not chicken wings, pork neck bones, and some liver and gizzards, and an egg?
