Seems like I constantly have questions as we continue with raw. Now that they've been on raw for about a month and the grinds have worked really well, I'm ready to start branching out into some more rmb and such. I found chicken quarters on sale for 59 cents a pound so I bought 30 pounds. I know that's a little too high bone ratio, so I need to add a little more meat, but I'm kind of stumped as to how to figure out how much meat to add? I'm so bad at working out ratios and percentages... I figure if I throw a few ounces of boneless breast or hamburger in with it that should be good. <p><p>So a couple other things, I have been told to try to avoid grocery store meats as they've been enhanced and generally have too much sodium. A good rule of thumb is no more than 4% sodium per 4 oz. serving. I haven't been able to find any literature with that info, but does that sound like a good guideline? <p><p>Since I grabbed all that chicken I also decided to see if Lillie is allergic to real chicken and gave her a big quarter, she seems fine today with no new breakouts so we'll stick with the chicken for a few days and see what happens. I am so thrilled though, that will make life so much easier (and cheaper) if she can eat chicken!<p><p>I've also added some eggs, but I read that you shouldn't feed dogs eggs from the grocery store either as the shells are treated with chemicals and wax and you should buy farm fresh eggs... Is this for real? I don't buy farm fresh eggs for the people in my house, is it good enough to just wash the shells before I feed them to the dogs?
