Changes after being switched to raw

[llombardo]

I ventured into raw about a month ago. I went with premade, so I don't screw anything up. I also was only doing it once a week. Starting this week I will be doing raw 3-4 times a week. They better like it, I just spent a little over $200.00 today The first time I fed it to them I freaked when I saw their poop, I thought something was wrong, but I've decided I can deal with disappearing poop. Today they had duck necks, well 2 of them did, the golden will not eat any of the meaty bones

Were you able to buy bulk? Where'd you get it llombardo?

I just stayed with the premade for now. I got the rolls I can cut up and nuggets. The place I went to is probably more expensive then some, but they had a sale and I was able to get two pound rolls for $6.50 each. I also got canned tripe. I'm not sure if this is as good as fresh, but the ingredients are tripe, garlic, and water.

I know this is an old thread, but there should be a bulk co-op in your area? I found mine on facebook. Harley has been on raw for a few weeks now. He has horrible allergies and is so thin you can see each one of his bones. Most notable thing was his poop. He went from cannon butt to little tiny poops. His scratching is much less too. Hopefully his coat will change for the better, but all this takes time. I pay less than $1. a pound with our co-op. Madjukes, I will find the link to the co-ops.
Here is the links to the Co-Ops on your area. Take advantage of them, they off quality raw at very low prices.

We are making the switch to raw next week. We have a consultation booked with a canine nutritionist next week and I’m going to make the jump to raw. Jake had chronic digestive issues for the first 8 months of his life and I think has suffered from a developmental perspective. Jake is 67 pounds at 10 ½ months. We are working with a trainer who is highly recommending we get Jake off commercial kibble (he’s also suffering from an unknown allergy) and consider a homemade diet. She has recommended raw, but has said a cooked homemade diet if done right is far better than commercial kibble.

After re-reading this thread and seeing some of the differences, I’m sold. Since we’ll be getting help formulating a balanced raw diet, it takes that fear of not doing it right away.

How's this for a change: when I notice exceedingly large turds that people fail to pick up, I can totally tell that the dog is not raw fed.

This is how I know when someone else's dog has been on my property!

I'm already set on feeding our new pup raw. I have 400lbs of meat waiting for him in a freezer I bought just for his food. I've been doing a lot of research and raw and it's the only way I would feed a dog.

This thread was linked in another I'm reading and thought it was a great testimonial as to the benefits of reading raw and wanted to bump it. Would make a great sticky!!!
