Hands down - The BEST part about feeding RAW!

[Lakl]

About 3 weeks ago, I switched the dog's back to raw. I had just had enough of the doggy smell, the bad breath, and the large, make you gag smelling poop! Not to mention the fortune I spent on candles, house fresheners, and the like. When I sat down and did the math, the premium kibble I was feeding cost just as much, if not more than feeding raw. Bathing them or trips to the groomers only left them smelling like, well, shampooed dog!

In addition, one thing I realized was that after being in the house awhile, you kinda get used to the doggy smell. But after a long day of work, and walking back into the house, it's the first thing that hits you, and it always bothered me to what my guests smelled when they came over as I like to keep a fairly clean home.

So anyways, like I said, it's been about 3 weeks now since I've switched them all back. Today I had to go out and run some errands, and when I got back and walked into the house I realized...there was no doggy smell! They also haven't had a bath in quite awhile either! A few minutes ago, my pup was stretched out napping, so I went down to nuzzle him, and low and behold, NO SMELL whatsoever! I shoved my face into his fur just to be sure and NOTHiNG! Tested my other dog - same thing! I don't know how exactly that feeding raw meat can remove that terrible doggy odor, but dang I love it!!

I am unconvinced by this.

I'm not trying to convince you. I don't care what you feed your dog. I'm stating that this is what happened with MY dogs.

Isn't it great! I love feeding raw and all the wonderful things it helps to create! No doggie breath bc the bones and chewing naturally clean the teeth/tartar off. Poops are a huge difference! We had one dog who from day one was always a bright yellow liquid and since switching nice firm and healthy poops. One better is if I don't get around to picking the yard every week the poops have already turned white and are working on disintergrating! No more messy cow pies that I can't pick up let alone no more poop smell! Healthier skin, fur, and better energy! Plus my sickly pup at the time is now healthy weight, muscular and full of energy and starting to fill out! While my other dog has turned into a Brick House!! And just switching our newest 5 month old immediatly she is also already benefitting from raw!!

We too were spending several hundred $$ on kibble bc of how much they all ate but once we figured out a seller we were only showing a difference of $50 bwt kibble and raw! We will NEVER turn back and are researching other options to get more variety into our dogs raw foods!

Glad its working for your dogs! It makes a 100%+ difference!

The poops and coat are my favorite part. The yard upkeep is easy when she has such small unsmelly poops. When the neighbors dog ventures into my yard it's pretty obvious sadly. I'm lucky and have GREAT connections, I feed raw for maybe $20- $25 a month. It has also got me paying more attention to what I feed myself haha.

I found a local meat vendor and bought 40lbs of chicken necks and 40 lbs of backs for $27 total!! Don't think I'll ever go back to kibble!

1 poop a day, healthy sweet smelling pup, fur like silk, gorgeous teeth, I know I'm not feeding my baby crap, head turning " that's such a beautiful dog!" comments...
O, it sucks.

That's funny... Berghoff is a raw eater but still smells like a dog! I do love the poop issue, ths silky coat, and the amazing teeth but dog smell and breath... still there! Now, he is my first dog and I have nothing to compare it to so maybe he still smells better than other pooches and I just don't know it!

Jax does not smell (RAW fed). Sierra does (not RAW fed) and makes the couch smell because she lays on it. Cracker (cat) is raw fed. Cat box does NOT stink. I forget to clean it because it doesn't smell.

I forgot about that! My litterbox used to be HORRIBLE!!!! My cat Lucky would stink up the whole house when he pooped (he's a real pig, I think overeating had something to do with it too...) Now the litterbox is almost completely UNNOTICABLE. And he's took off weight, and looks alot healthier...
