8 weeks old pups eating chicken quarters

I start the pups on raw meat at about 4-5 weeks. For the first day or two I let them have some minced chicken.Then I just give them whole chicken quarters. I usually remove the skin and any visible fat.The pups know exactly what to do! At first they can`t deal with bones but it`s okay, the little piranhas can easily get all the meat off of bone. At this point they still nursing so no worries about calcium.Usually by the time the puppies are 7-8 weeks they can eat most of chicken bones. Rabbit is also very popular.At this point I am serving variety of meat and bones every day and starting with small pieces of different organs as well.Imagine doing a push up for every bite you take, this is how the puppies eat! They must rip and tear and fight pork or chicken skin, and chew and chew on bones. This is wonderful work out for them! The mom usually cleans up whatever is left.
