We feed raw to our dog.
Kibble foods bought in pet shops cause so many skin and other complaints.
It’s the fillers they put in, to bulk the food up.
It can be problematic when going away, but, if the kennels have freezers, which most do, then we take our own food.
It works for our dog, ......costs roughly £130 every 5 weeks or so. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I don’t really know tbh, I’ve never looked how much chappie is.  ;D
My OH is an authority on raw food. Well, he thinks he is.  ;D ;D

We used to feed her raw chicken, outside. But it’s too messy. So I put a stop to that.  ;D
RAW chicken wings are really good for them.
But give my dog a marrow bone, oh noooo, she looks at it to say, What you give me that for?  ;D

Mine loved a raw lamb bone, mid Sat. morning.  However, for weeks, after I had got into my 9.00 p.m. bath, I could hear DH clearing up  :-X it was simply too rich for her guts. 

Did she not have her chicken on a plate jillydoll  ;D.  Wings are great for keeping teeth clean.

I'll second that  ;D
Our shepherd is on a super strict diet,her food has actual chicken feathers through it,well,not through it but mixed in the kibble,she can't stomach ANYTHING other than her food but shepherds are renowned for their dodgey stomachs

Does her food flap around the kitchen jaypo  ;)

If certain breeds have gut/skin problems, the is something that the Kennel Club should have sorted?

That would be too much of a meander ?

Where's C.C. in all this ?

Are the chicken wings fed whole or minced up? I'd be worried about bones.

I feed mine whole wings. Being raw, the bones aren't brittle, so they are perfectly safe.

Whole.  Raw chicken is usually so young that it isn't brittle anyway.  Good for the teeth.

What about worms? And other bugs normally killed by cooking?
