Hi everyone,
I just started feeding my 7 years old Golden girl raw, and I have some questions that hopefully you can help me with.
1. How much to feed? I read it should be 2-3% of ideal body weight, and here is my problem:
she is overweight, 67 pounds. Her ideal weight should be around 60 pound. Should I feed her 2% of 60 pounds - which would be 1.2 pound per day, or more? She seems hungry, but she always acts hungry
I can give her green beens to make her happy 
2. Turkey - are all bones OK, or only the smaller bones are safe for Golden? And do you give a bone as it is, or grind it? I was giving her ribs from turkey, and chicken neck/wing bones so far.
3. She is swallowing the pieces without chewing it. Is it OK, or should I give her larger pieces so she can't eat it without chewing, or should cut it into smaller/bite size pieces? She will chew it only if I'm holding the piece
thank you!
