I understand that "rawfeeding" means feeding the wolfdog raw meat? That´s what I am feeding both my wolfdogs normally all the time. I am not having any problems and I must say, both dogs look better than if they were eating dry food ..
Cira, my older female, came home and was as a puppy already used from the breeder to eat raw meat. So we continued on that, she was getting raw beef and chicken meat, chicken necks, stomachs and hearts, also beef hearts and various other stuff. Plus milk, yoghurt, cottage cheese, eggs. I tried offering her also pasta, oatmeal or rice to mix with the meat, but she always managed to eat only the meat and leave the rest. If she got minced meat with rice, she decided not to eat at all.. When she was more than six months old, I tried to move her on dry food, but it was not working. No matter which brands I tried, she did not eat and if she ate, then only a small amount to keep her alive. After some weeks, she looked slim, you could count all her ribs, her coat was not shiny etc. She was full of energy, no doubt, but it was clear the dry food is not the best. We returned back to meat and again within a few weeks, you could see the difference. She gained some weight, got a thick nice shiny coat and started to look like a very nice dog.
So I have no doubts, what is the best to feed my wolfdogs!

Ali, my new puppy, came from the breeder used to eat dry food. However, we soon introduced her to normal food. First it was boiled chicken meat (cause she never saw raw meat and did not like it) with rice, later she was getting another cooked meat - chicken, beef, calf, also hearts and stomachs, tripes, liver, all cooked for the beginning. Plus lots of cheese, eggs. She did not like milk or milky products. Now, when Ali is almost 4 months, she eats most of the meat raw, including the hearts and such things. Her coat is shiny, she is growing well, she is full of energy and looks all fine.

To both dogs, I am supplying the minerals by giving "Vitaplastin" tablets. That´s Czech product however, but I am sure in your country you will find something similar.
