Reply To: Newbie to Raw
I wouldn’t worry about balancing every single meal. It’ll make you crazy! Aim for a good overall balance over the course of a week or two (I don’t balance all my own meals, but I try to eat a variety of foods over a short length of time.)

I’ve fed raw for decades and have never had any get salmonella or e-coli poisoning. Salmonella is EVERYWHERE, including on kibble.
As far as sensitive stomach issues go, you might check into feeding green tripe (NOT bleached, there’s no nutrition left in it.)

Both places above carry EXCELLENT quality food. My dogs seem to prefer the tripe from MPC whereas my cats seem to prefer the tripe from Hare Today. Go figure 🙂
My experiences with tripe have been that dogs with sensitive stomachs become much more cast-iron in their ability to eat, digest, and utilize food. I don’t know why. Be forewarned; it smells terrible (your dogs should love it, LOL).
I’ve had good luck using MPC’s ground beef pancreas for dogs with more severe digestive problems (EPI, etc.)
Again, I wouldn’t worry about balancing every single meal, and don’t get overzealous and add in too many proteins at once. Feed chicken for a week, see how they do, and then add turkey or perhaps beef. If all’s well, add in another, and then perhaps organs.
Keep in mind that chicken/beef/etc hearts are highly nutritious, they’re considered a muscle meat and not an organ.
Best of luck!
