Offal or Meat, a quick guide

This is a quick guide to help you work out the difference between offal and meat when it comes to DIY raw feeding. We should be aiming to stick to the 80/10/10 rule, that's feeding 80% meat, 10% bone and 10% offal. Of that offal, half should be liver. The easiest way to tell is as follows: it the organ secretes, feed it as offal, otherwise feed it as a meat. Some people like to class different organs in their own way, but as a general rule, this will be okay. Below are a few meats and offals listed for your convenience.

Meat

• Muscle
• Heart
• Lungs
• Tongue
• Tripe (green tripe, not white/bleached)
• Trachea
• Gizzard

Offal

• Liver
• Kidney
• Spleen
• Brain
• Pancreas
• Testicles

If you ever get stuck, just ask yourself 'does this organ secrete?' and you should be able to work it out from there.
