You can feed fruit and veg, but I don't think dogs need it, it's just one way of feeding raw. I've raw fed for nearly 5 years now without adding fruit and veg and my dog is fit and healthy. It's more personal choice than necessity IMO.

Mine probably do get bones every day. In the form of chicken wings, carcasses, varying bits of lamb, turkey necks, drumsticks etc.

I am just interested/curious, what's the issue with feeding bone everyday? Do they get constipated easily? Loui has bone everyday and I don't see the problem All dogs are different though so just feed them as you see fit for THEM.

Edit: he does not eat fruit or veg either

It's not an issue I just wondered how many people do it. I currently don't, they get it 3 times a week but I was thinking of feeding it every day instead. They are having it every other at the minute. They seem to skip more meals if I offer it every day. So I don't know.

They don't NEED fruit and veg, unless you don't give organs.
All the vits they need come in the wide variety of organs my boy gets. Liver, kidney, pancreas, lung etc....
He also gets green tripe.
