Hello All,
I have recently started feeding my dog strictly raw, and so far she is loving it! Thanks to many people on this site, I am now understanding how to feed raw and feel more comfortable with it. I know it's the right choice.
One thing I have been concerned about though is bones getting stuck in the GI tract. I was thinking about getting an electric meat and bone grinder so that I can put bone-in meat right in there and ground it all for Bella's meals. I feel this would probably decrease the chance of this causing any GI issues. I know many people suggest that bones are easy for dogs to break down-but I am just a tad concerned because my dog tends to be a gulper when it comes to food she likes.. So I'm afraid of her swallowing a big bone and causing internal issues.
I was just wondering if anyone owns/has used a meat and bone grinder for their raw food diet. If so, which one do you recommend? I want one that is high quality and can easily break down bones. I would love if it was reasonably priced!! Also, I live in Canada so I know some US grinders aren't available in Canada.
I thank you all in advance for your opinions and suggestions!
