Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Has anyone fed this to their dogs before? Drogo and Navi really like fish and I thought this might be a good one to try. It is rather expensive, however. I tried doing some research on whether or not it was a good (and safe) fish to feed dogs but I couldn't find much information on it. Any thoughts?

I've also been unable to get my hands on kidney recently, going on a couple of weeks now. I -REALLY- don't want to even consider going back to kibble, but I'm scared that this diet is technically "incomplete" without this organ. ;___;

I've wondered the same thing, because they don't sell kidney around here, only livers. I give them livers once a week, but I wonder, too, if I am harming them because they don't get both organs.

I wouldn't see anything wrong with feeding the herring in moderation. My sibe doesn't tolerate any fish so we don't feed it here.

If you're having trouble finding certain organs locally you could try ordering a bunch online. Then freeze the lot and feed it as needed. As long as your dogs are getting some organ I wouldn't worry too much right now, but in the long run you will need to get other organs to keep things on track and healthy. Another idea that I use is to supplement your raw diet with a nutritionally complete either pre-made frozen raw or freeze-dried raw that includes organ. Most frozen pre-made raws will fit better with an existing PMR diet. There's also two freeze-dried raw foods that I like to supplement which contain organ, those are Ziwipeak and Stella & Chewy's. Also, if you can find treats made of organ that's another supplement you could try. However if you do try the organ treat route do not use it as a 'replacement' for raw organs in a PMR diet, it helps to have but doesn't eliminate the need for fresh organ.
