Zeus eating a pork hock
Breakfast this morning for Sweety and Zeus consisted of two raw turkey necks for Zeus (which he devoured in under 5 minutes), and 3 raw lamb neck steaks for Sweety that I purchased from Growlies.ca when I was there a couple of weekends ago.

They’re Workin’ for it!
The benefits for a dog fed a raw meaty bones diet are several. One of the main benefits for raw fed dogs is the teeth and gum cleaning effects that having to rip, tear, chew and crunch their food has, but another benefit is mental stimulation and exercise.
Although it didn’t take Zeus very long to get through a couple of turkey necks this morning, it took Sweety about half an hour to polish off her three lamb neck steaks. She’s nearly 15, so mental stimulation and exercise are even more important for her at this stage of her life.
