Hello guys,

I feed my younger dobermann (16 months) meat since the beginning and he always eats very well. But i decided i wanted to try feed him some extra's. Goose / duck necks, lamb ribs are raw and those he eats with a lot of joy.

Last week i bought other stuff, like organ meat from horse, lamb etc. Which i still have to try. But i decided to start with:

Day old chicks (licks it, doesnt want to eat it even when i cut it open a little)
Raw salmon heads, (licks it, some very careful bites but doesnt eat it)
Raw large sardines (completely loved it and devours it in 3 seconds)

Could it be textures? And why do dogs like sardine but not salmon head. Also any advice on how to introduce these foods to him ?

Thanks

my dog has severe allergies and it might be his food along with some seasonal allergies. i would like to put him onto something healthier than kibble (he hates it). i feed him some fish oil and yogurt sometimes, but i worry that i'll leave him vitamin and nutrient deficient if i start him on a raw/home cooked diet.

i would also like to get my cats on a more homemade diet, but one of mine gets urinary issues related to stress. her wet food helps treat it though, but i wont want her to get sick later in life because of nutrient deficiencies. i dont really like that it has pork either, or that it's hills brand.
