Does this seem okay?

My only concern about raw wild fish is that they may contain parasites like tapeworm in the flesh of the fish (during the cyst stage). I don't trust myself to be able to spot mealy fish, so I'd want to cook it to kill and larval tapeworms that may exhist.
 
My other concern is Mercury. Which guidelines should I follow: Those for children under the age of 6 and pregnent women, or those for "regular" people (sorry, I couldn't think of a better term [8|])?
 
The only veggies I can think of, since the Mahlemut tribe would have been from the coasts of Alaska, might be kelp, but it's a good idea for sure. Like I said, I can't seem to find much info on the tribe itself, so I don't know what they actually might have done during the summer months and what they may have fed their dogs. I'll keep looking though, as something's gotta come up.

There's a variety of sea plants that most coastal societies incorporate into their diets.  Look to the parallel cultures on the other side of the Pacific - northern Asian populations.  In fact, I get the sea veggies I use (alaria, wakame, etc) from the Asian specialty section of the grocery.  It's not expensive - a bag of the dried costs around $4 and lasts forever.

I forget that not everyone is on as thorough a worming regime as we are.  Tapes can be contracted from the sheep and the barn cats around here, so I have the dogs on Safeguard and another wormer that both take care of tapes (as well as giardhia, coccidea and other things they are exposed to in the course of working).  Anyway, cooking the fish makes perfect sense then. The good stuff in fish is not harmed by any cooking method, to my knowlege.  I routinely feed canned deep water fish for variety's sake. 

As to mercury, you have to get information from your local fish and wildlife folks on mercury levels for your favorite fishing spots.  My neighbor was very sensitive to this topic and did all my homework for me, lol.

Okay, so I fed another all raw meal to night, just wanted to check in, revist. I know there's still things to work on, I just want to make sure I'm not during anything majorly wrong (becuase I packed up about 5 days worth of raw meals). My only concern was the scale seemed a bit screwy, but when I tested it against a known weight amount, it checked out...

This time around, I figured for 2lb per day, so about 1lb meal. So this time, this is what it consisted off:

2 chicken wings ~.5-.6lb
Same burger (I just want to use it up) ~.3lb
Chicken Liver ~ I did my best to weigh it, aimed for .05lb
Some carrots, a strawberry, and 2 tablespoons yogurt. All pureed together.

Let me what you guys think about it this time around, I'm hoping it looks a lot better.

I hate to bump... but, bump.

I don't think just meat is good. I add a mixture of vegies for my dog try adding some beans too, but dogs don't get all the nuitrients from whole vegies put them through a blender of food processor first. To me it sounds like your dog could be allergic to beef protein which alot of dogs are, this causing diarrehea. They can't tolerate red meat too high in protein. Speak to your vet.
 
My dog was allergic to beef protein when he was a puppy, the same thing it went straight through him.
I feed raw meat: Chicken mince, necks, wings and breast bones, Lamb off cuts, Veal and canned salmon 2 times a week these are mixed in with his vegies (carrot, beans, peas, spinach, cauliflower, brocaulli whatever I have) I rotate the meat so it's something different each night. Salmon/fish is good for their coats (omega3 oils) I also mix a whole egg in with his meat 2 times a week. I don't feed any cooked bones as they have more of a chance splintering. Since I took Kane off red meat he has been fine his weight is stable just with meat and veg, he hardly eats kibble it is always there for him to eat but he won't touch it. Try feeding white meat with vegies every second day. What you gave her on the 18th sounds ok but I would add more vegies.

Just a note Mallymute, if you remove red meat from the diet then you might have a diet too low in iron and zinc. Chicken based diets are commonly too low in these minerals.

If a dog is alergic to beef it can't eat it. It would be the same as feeding someone peanuts that are allergic to them.
 
If you read my post properly you would have discovered I also feed veal and lamb. These are not as rich as beef. This was done under my vets supervision and he had frequent check ups to make sure the food I was giving was fine. He has not had any problems for the last 2 years

I never said a dog allergic to beef should eat it,and I read your post properly, and did see that you feed lamb and veal( veal is beef by the way, just a young one).I was not stating that your dogs diet was bad, but you suggested at the end of your post to feed white meat with veggies , I was simply stating white meat alone might not be enough.
