I have been feeding my dogs a carnivore diet. Both dogs get 7 oz of meat a day. I do cook it. One dog is 30 lbs, the other is younger and more active at 18 pounds. The 30 pound dog would constantly be hurting her joints, and limp around for days at a time. I was really concerned about her as she is a long bodied dog, and I was worried she may hurt her back. Now, she is like a different dog. She is getting up on the backs of the couch, jumping off the arm of the couch, She has also lost 2 pounds, but is so much more muscular.
