| Help for feeding raw..... Hey guys I would like input from anyone out there who feeds raw food. My Dax has long had issues with commercial food from allergies to just not wanting to eat so I have decided to try raw. I have chosen a brand called Oma's Pride, it is made just an hour from where I live and have been able to go directly to the factory to buy the food and therefore save money. Wanting any info on this food if possible and any pointers. Dax seems to love it so far and his Maltese sister (who is a great eater whatever it is) does too. Just would like to know if there is anything I should avoid or be aware of. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | How GREAT for you to be able to go right to the source and talk directly to those who make it, I'm so envious ! There are a lot of us here who feed raw (both pre-made and prey model) and love it, so you'll find a lot of support here. So glad you found us! I think at first, it's just important to try to stick to the "volume" you're supposed to feed. Raw is so nutrient dense, so you feed much less in volume compared to kibble - so some folks have a tough time adjusting to this and want to feed more raw than they should. And, just feel their ribs or weigh them to see if you should feed them more/less. This is a link I like about raw myths: The Many Myths of Raw Feeding

| The lady at the plant asked me all kinds of questions about their weight, energy level, age, etc... Then she was able to calculate their daily caloric need down to 1/10 of ounces, divided it into two meals and helped me calculate exactly how much food I needed for the month. She was very helpful and knowlgeable. She apparently is a biologist involved in the formulation of the foods. It was great to know how much they needed based on their individual needs. |
