| Success with Raw Lucy has finally settled in and eating raw now! She likes the Nature's Variety Chicken. I'm so happy she eats it because she is so picky I was running out of options. So, my question for those who feed raw, how many do you give your baby a day? I'm giving her 2 of the 2 oz. per day. Is this enough?

| I know, I'm so excited to have her on a healthy diet! I think I'm going to up it to 3 per day. She doesn't really go for any treats so this is about all she eats unless I scramble her an egg on occasion.

| How do you keep her face clean? I feed kibble in the morning and I try to feed canned at night but only if I have time to wash faces. They get SO messy with it. Fresh cooked food isn't as messy, but I'd expect raw to be as messy as canned?

| Jamie is on NV Raw too and he's been really good about eating it IF I keep switching up the protein source. I guess he gets bored easily. I haven't really found it to be messy. I do feed on a plate though and not in a bowl (because Mr. Particular doesn't like to stick his face into a food bowl, even when he was eating kibble). Congratulations on getting Miss Lucy to like her food!

I thought Blaze was the only one. He is affraid of the bowls, wont even go near it. I could put his food in a bowl and it would sit there all day. He has to eat off of a plate. But strangely enough, he drinks water from a bowl. We can not figure that one out. We give Blaze 4 medallions a day (he is only 6 months old) and Autumn gets 3 she is 1 1/2 yrs old at 5lbs! Good luck w/the raw!

LOL! Jamie will DIVE into a bowl of water and his face will come out SOAKED but he won't even think about eating out of a bowl. I don't get it either. When he was eatin kibble, he would just take his paw and knock in onto the floor and eat it but I didn't want the raw getting on his paws or my floor so I just got him a plate. He is definitely Momma's silly boy!

| i asked about this in another post but didn't get much response...maybe i'll have better luck here. I'm very interested in starting Bailey on NV Raw diet but i was wondering if its necessary to give them any extra supplements or veggies? |

| Mine each eat 4 oz a day. Kalina is 5#12oz and lost weight when I cut back. She could probably make due with 3 1/2 ozs, but she's very active so I stick with 4. Matty also eats 4 ozs. She is 3#4oz, but she's still growing. I notice she is getting full now and can't quite finish it all, so I'll probably start cutting back. She is very active and not at all fat. I give them each 2 oz in the morning and 2 oz at dinnertime. It doesn't seem like much, does it?

| From what I understand you don't have to supplement? I know there are veggies in the NV Raw Chicken. Great question though. Any comments regarding this?
