Raw, meaty bones, such as chicken necks or backs. Grind bones to begin with, allowing Fido to get used to them. Your butcher may be able to do this for you, or you could invest in a good meat-grinder capable of grinding bone. Never feed cooked bones.
Raw (or lightly cooked) organs and muscle meats.
Raw or cooked fish such as cod, mackerel, sole, haddock (salmon should be cooked), as well as low-sodium canned fish.
Ground nuts, such as almonds, also make an interesting addition.
Plain yogurt, cottage cheese, kefir and eggs.
Fresh or dried fruits like melon, blueberries, cranberries and peaches.
Vegetables such as kale, yams, pumpkin, parsnips (root vegetables should be lightly steamed or pulped to aid digestibility).
Fresh herbs such as parsley and dandelion.
Recreational bones such as raw beef marrow (soup) bones should be offered once or twice a week for dental health and keep Fido mentally stimulated.
Macadamia Nuts
Grapes
Raisins
Onions

I bought a trial box of Embark at a local pet store. I thought I’d give this method of feeding a try. I gave 1/2 of a box for my Doberman’s night feeding, which I didn’t know if she’d like, so I did add some kibble. She lapped it up like nothing. This is the funny part,in the morning she woke me up and started whining for her breakfast. I gave her the rest of the box again adding kibble and she licked that bowl clean. I always make her sit before I feed her and she could hardly keep her sit, in fact, I did have to reinforce it because she got up she wanted her breakfast that bad. I guess I’ll be going back to the store today to get the large box and try and find a good quality grinder.
Thank you for this food.
thank you for thinking outside the kibble bag! we are looking forward to making the transition!
Thank you for this list. This was gonna be one of my next questions. Good job THK. I appreciate all you do to help us feed our pets with quality food
