If you want to feed raw it's largely feeding raw meaty bones anyway, I make up some BARF 'slops' once a month that I freeze in smaller containers and feed the dogs one container worth a week, but that's just to ensure they are getting the right amount of vegies and offal in their diet as they don't eat offal on it's own.

I found this website has a great BARF faq:

Honey, 75 pound golden retriever mix, gets kibble and home cooked. Her kibble is Taste of the Wild, a grain free kibble. I comes in 3 varietes-bison & venison, duck and fowl, and fish. She likes the High Prairie (bison) best. She gets 1 cup of this dry in the morning. At night she gets 3/4 cup of it and 1/2 cup of the stew I amke for her--or canned fih (or fresh if I have had luck fishing).

The stew I make consists of 5 pounds of chicken thights, about 3 pounds of chicken necks, about 1 1/2 pounds of beef liver or chicken gizzards cut up, 2-3 cutup sweet potatoes, a couple of chopped apples, a pound of frozen green beans, and sometimes some yellow or green squash. I put it all in my slow cooker and add water, but not enough to cover. Cover and bring to boil. reduce heat and cook on low 24 hours.

She gets some that night and I save out enough for 4-5 more nights The ret is put into freezer bags, enough for 4-5 meals each and frozen. When she finsihes off the jar that I kept out (9n ref of course), sh gets fish for the next 3 nights, then a bag is taken out of freezer and when finished, back to fish again for 3 days. She will not touch anything raw.

ARTEMIS Fresh Mix Adult (No corn, no wheat, no beet pulp).

Our 14 months black Lab x has been on Artemis Holistic dog food for over 3 months now and she has such a soft and shiny coat (you really notice the difference) and I know it’s because of the high grade ingredients of her Artemis diet. Only the best for our Pepper =)

I like to add a little bit of tuna and fruit to make her meal times more interesting (about 10% only, as the Artemis food is quite complete). She seems to love it. It was recommended to us by a friend and animal behaviour specialist.

She gets liver and heart (blargh!) as treats; a big marrow bone every week; and a cream cheese stuffed kong every day.

Wish she could be vegetarian like me =p

Couldn't help but notice that Eukanuba wasn't mentioned in any of the dog diets ...

I'm such a big advocate for Eukanuba - i feed the kibble to both my dogs, a 5-y-o Maltese x and 1 y-o Standard Schnauzer. Particularly my schnauzer, he's been raised on it.

They both get their appropriate size with minced chicken carcass. To add to the variety, they will get it with Tuna or boiled chicken and rice.

Both get chicken necks for breaky in the morning.

Eukanuba has too much grain in it for my liking and I think there are better dried foods out there, but at the end of the day it is what your dog does best on that counts

My dogs get Natural Balance dry with frames/bones few times a week instead of the dry.
