 | And when feeding raw how much and what else besides chicken necks and backs for his age? The only meat we stay away from when feeding raw is Salmon from west of the cascades, sometimes called pacific salmon. This contains a parasite deadly to dogs. Click This Link Our litter started at 4 weeks of age with venison and chicken. By 12 weeks they were eating venison, chicken, pork, beef, liver and tripe. By 6 months they were eating all the above plus lamb, goat, rabbit and fish(tilapia, Sardines, atlantic salmon). Necks and backs are heavy in bone, so you may want to combine them with a meatier source. Also they are fairly small for a growing mastiff. We feed backs but only when they are attached to the rest of the chicken !lol. You may want to try leg quarters as they are bigger and meatier, but still economical. Here is a link to many cuts of meat that are used when raw feeding and how they are fed. Click This Link As for amount at 12 weeks our pups were eating about 3 lbs total a day separated into 3 meals. At 6 months they went to 4 lbs per day separated into 2 meals. Our adult dogs eat 4-5 lbs a day sometimes in one meal and sometimes in 2 meals. Raw amount is generally based on 2-3% of a dogs ideal adult body weight. These amounts are just a place to start and looking at your pup is the best way to tell wether you need to add more food or cut back. Lean puppies is good.
