Chicken, rabbit, turkey, including bones and fat. Never feed cooked bones. Raw bones are safe as long as they still have some meat on them and are served at room temperature.
Mutton, lamb and beef chopped into large pieces to encourage chewing. Mince is not recommended as it usually contains preservatives.
Fresh or lightly steamed fish with bones removed. Small fish like sardines and pilchards may be served whole.
Free-range eggs can be served occasionally (Try a raw egg with cheese chopped into cubes).
Free-range organic chicken livers, heart or other offal once per week.
10% of Daily intake should be made up of:
Raw vegetables finely minced or pureed, including sprouts, herbs and leafy greens.
Carrot helps to deter intestinal worms (Try Grated carrot and cubed cheese).
