GROUND BONES
Considered a safer way to add whole raw bone to balance DIY meals of meat/offal, etc. for dogs that are not good candidates for eating whole raw meaty bones. These are NOT COMPLETE Grinds or Formulas - they are meant to provide the calcium component of your diet and are made using 100% raw meaty bones only. To be mixed at home with meat/offal, as directed. These are a chunkier MEDIUM (not fine) grind and may not be suitable for tiny dogs or cats.

HOW TO DETERMINE THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF GROUND BONES TO INCLUDE IN THE DIET: On average, most dogs do best with this ingredient added at a ratio of about 25-30% of a SFRAW GRIND/FORMULA Menu. However, just how much you add of the ground bone will be determined by the other ingredients and foods that you are feeding as part of the overall diet. We recommend regularly inspecting your dog's stool quality to determine the proper balance of ca:ph in the diet, and to help you determine how much ground raw meaty bone you need to add to the diet for your individual dog. Increase from a bare minimum of 10% up to 50%; the more bone grind you add, the firmer the stool should become.
Every body metabolizes nutrients and foods differently, so the amount you need to add of raw ground bone (which is a natural whole food product with variability, and is not standardized) in the diet will be determined on an individual basis. If you have questions about how to balance your animals' food, please, never hesitate to ask us for guidance! We are here to support you and ensure that you are feeding your dogs and cats correctly and as safely as possible when preparing their meals at home.
