My dogs are also on the raw diet. Around here, it’s less expensive than kibble and it actually nourishes them. My 13 year old acts like he’s 7.Yes. We raised Jumbo Coturnix for dual purpose. My intention this last time was to have eggs for eating, eggs for hatching, and quail for both eating and feeding my dogs. We lost two dogs to cancer within 6 months - one was only 4 years old. We did a little research and decided to start feeding natural, so they get raw meat like a coyote or wolf would. They've all been healthy and happy since then so we've kept at it. Quail would have been an inexpensive answer to that but summer hit and we lost all of them overnight while we were out of town for my Grandma's funeral. We're eventually going to get some more, we just haven't yet.
Quail tastes great! They’re much more common out west since they love the desert conditions out there.
