What are the non-chicken RMB alternatives?

[BooBoo & Riley]

I'd like to start feeding my two some other RMB that's not chicken. They're doing fine on chicken right now, but I just want to add some variety so that they don't develop an allergic reaction to chicken in the long run.

So what parts of the pig and cow and turkey would you consider the equilvant of the chicken frame? I've feed all these other meats, but only in meat portions, no bones because the cuts I see in the stores are so much tougher than chicken bones...

I have done turkey necks and pig feet (these are pretty fatty so we don't do them often). I am not sure what else would be close to a chicken frame. I have seen chicken feet at my local grocer (gross but the pups loved them) and I think the thin cut pork spare ribs have bones that are thin enough to crunch up. Have you you tried one of the raw diet web sites?

Pork necks, lamb necks, turkey necks, deer or fish. I will give them a beef mix (no bone) and then a bone of any type that does have much meat on it to chew on. I will give them anything that they can chew up.

Beef brisket bones are excellent. They're soft enough for a dog to chew up, but still hard enough to be an excellent teeth cleaner. Mutton or pork flaps are good too - not too much meat compared to the (also soft) bone.

Lamb RMBs are good. The cut called 'lamb flaps' is a good one. In my grocery store it is labeled 'Australian.' You can also try rabbit, they have small bones that can be crunched up.
