I've been feeding raw for almost 20 years. I make some of my own as well as using Bravo, Oma's Pride, Aunt Jeni's, Primal, Untamed, Nature's Logic, Green Tripe and raw meaty bones and whole mackerel. The better foods don't have any synthetic vitamins added. I use different brands because I like to give my dogs as much variety as possible. I use patties for show weekends because they are easy. You need to find some raw feeders in your area. They will be able to direct you to raw food stores or co-ops. As for treats, I use Plato treats (duck or chicken and veggie strips) or Merrick or Jones Natural and Fresh is Best freeze dried chicken and turkey hearts. I never use any treats from China. In the ring, I use cooked roast beef, chicken or smoked turkey franks. I hope this helps! Raw is easy once you get used to it.
