[MR] OT anyone with a diabetic dog? i need info

[Janie Darby]

Our Labs are also raw fed. Chicken necks and either ground venison or ground beef dog food mixes from a couple of nearby butchers make up most of their diets. We don't use rawhide anymore. 
Never, never cooked bones. Those will splinter.
