These are the foods I feed over a period of say two weeks to my dogs. One day a week is a fast day when only liquids are given. Apart from fast day's I feed meaty bones most days. Veggies are usually fed about three to four times a week. I use a juicer and then add the pulp back into the veggies and then I mix the veggie pulp and supplements with the ground meat (and any organ meat I may be feeding that day) first, then feed meaty bones. Chicken, lamb, pork or beef. (pork is the least digestible so best left until a good digestive system is achieved).
Don't only feed one type ad infinitum. A meaty bone is defined as one that has 50/50% meat to bone ratio. Chicken neck, wing or back is ideal. Variety is the key word here.
