Possibly wanting to switch to feeding our babies raw! Need info please :)

CaitlinGaleski · 11-28-2011, 12:09 AM

Okay so I have a male german shepherd (3 months) and a female shepherd (1 1/2) and am interested in possibly switching to a raw diet. My female has skin allergies and is currently on natural balance the fish kind and my male puppy is on eukanuba large breed puppy. I had a couple basic ?s to ask about raw.

1st) how much monthly would it cost to feed them both a raw diet.
2nd) will it hurt there stomachs or make them sick in the beginning (aside from a loose stool)
3rd) what are the improvements y'all have seen when you switched your dogs over?
4th) how should I go about switching them?
5th) what do I feed and how much?
6th) where can I buy it?

Sorry for all the ?s just would like to get as much info as I can! Thanks in advance!

Not sure about your male puppy but I recently posted a thread about starting my 2 year old GSD starting a raw diet.. it's titled "New at this.. how am I doing" You shoudl check it out.. the information I got from it was super helpful. The portions I got from www.rawdogranch.com and it was very helpful. The first Thread "Our Dog Menus" Was SUPER helpful as well.

I have yet to start Titan on it because of other reasons but am anxious to see how he likes it when I do.. as a newbie.. I'm more than interested in anything you find out.. so share share share
