		<description>EbonyKnight --- you can feed your dog however you want and whats makes the most sense for you.  I totally get buying in bulk when on sale and &quot;processing&quot;..  No reason you have to stop.  But, you can keep out a few days worth and feed raw while processing the rest.  I get free deer heart from friends and coworkers that hunt and store in my freezer til I need for the dogs (heart can be fed as a muscle or an organ -- it is both).  Tongue can also be fed as a muscle but from what I could find is pretty high in fat so an off and on thing.  

My main concern was the calcium and high carb content.  Carbohydrates (and too much fat) displace protein from the diet..  Protein (the amino acids from protein) is needed for EVERY aspect of health -- cellular turnover, healing, the bodies ability to fight cancer etc..  

Organs are a tiny portion of the diet BUT they are where the vitamins are.  Without them your pup could become chroinicall deficient in vitamin A or D etc.  In humans at least, vitamin D is a necessary part of the immune systems ability to fight infections...  It&#039;s believed by many that flu shots would not be necessary if one had ample vitamin D from a utilizable source..  Vitamin A is necessary for eye health.  

Don&#039;t feed just chicken or just red meats..  Chicken is high in polyunsaturated fatty acids but deficient in saturated fatty acids.  Red meat doesn&#039;t supply PUFA&#039;s.  The amino acid profile of both is different as well..

Eggs are another good source of VERY high quality protein.  Either feed raw or cook the whites only (lightly) and feed the yolk raw.  Farm fresh are best but not a must.  Eggs are fatty so limit to a couple feeding per week.</description>
