| I just started Bella on raw. The prey model or raw meaty bones. Here is the link to the web group. It is full of information. http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/r...guid=297957154 She loves it!! She wouldn't eat kibble and was getting constipated and itchy on other food. I researched it for about a month before starting. She took to it right away. If you want any more info about how I feed pm me. I know it is hard for some to get used to the idea of raw feeding.

| I buy my own. I started her on chicken thighs. Not too much bone like the legs. I remove the skin because it's too much fat for her. Believe it or not I just put a towel down and throw her the thigh. I put cuts along it so she can eat it easier. Then she eats the bone. It's a hoot to watch. I have been only giving her about 2/3 of a thigh at a time because they are large. After some time on chicken I will mix up her diet with other meats (beef, lamb, fish, etc)

| I use NV raw. The girls get it at their evening meal and get kibbles in the morning. They love the NV. They also gobble up their kibble, too. They are also on dietary supplements. |

| I'm very new to this raw thing... so you give them raw food-like raw chicken and beef? isnt there a chance of spreading salmonella or ecoli type sicknesses??? My little Lucy gets everything in her beard and I'd be hesitant to give her kisses thinking about it touching her face.... or am I just old school??? |

| The Nature's Variety diet is ground up and frozen into little patties that look like a small, thick burger. You thaw them in the fridge over night and feed them cold in the morning. My boyz love it...nothing gets stuck in their beards, no bad breath or stinky poops and their teeth are bright white. You can also feed a raw diet that you make yourself but I thought I'd try NV to start with to see if they even like raw and they like it so well I can't see changing to anything else now. |

| It's funny because that was the very thing I was most afraid of. Because I love my kisses! I was her face with a wash cloth with a little soap on it (vinigar works also) and I haven't had a problem. The people on the site I belong to have never had a problem either. Just wash up like you would if you cooked chicken for dinner. A half/half water vinigar solution works. Baby wipes also take care of it.
