This is the one part of raw feeding I can't seem to work out.  Some people feed supplements some people don't.  I would rather not unless I have to - at the moment they all have joint aid and I also add salmon oil.  Do I need to add anything else?

Personal opinion I believe.

If you have a healthy dog with a varied raw diet, I don't see the need for supplements. I used to supplement my boys diet with Tryplase enzymes and Slippery Elm because he has a history of acute pancreatitis, but I have since added pig pancreas to his diet which I feel is a much better option.

I oftern wonder why people chose to feel a natural diet just to overload on supplements...

Is pig pancreas for a particular reason.,or just food,the same as liver,for example,would be?

It helps with his digestion. So I stopped with the enzymes and added the pancreas after reading it does the same job. I think to be honest he'd be fine without it now, as his pancreatitis was an acute attack rather than chronic, but just in case he still has it. You can feed it to any dog, as you say just like liver and kidney.
