I have been feeding raw since March 07
I started out on the NV - but for me at the end of the day...it still is a commercial pet food. I just have some doubts about that brand.
So, I found a local distributor that has researched 'premade' raw and only carries the best of the best.
So, I switched them over to a brand called mOrigins (
www.morigins.com)
They love this product, but after a couple months, and some input from others, I just felt the fat % was a little too high for my two.
Next, I went to Aunt Jeni's (
www.auntjeni.com) - So far they have had the Rabbit flavor. I have the Lamb in the freeze now, so that will be next. But I wanted to keep switching flavors (I have heard it is best to switch things around). So, right now they are on a beef flavor from Healthy Pet Products (
www.healthypetdiet.com).
Mine really love the raw diet. They like beef the best and they like it still frozen. I let in thaw in a baggie on the granite counter top for about 10 mins. Then it is soft enough for me to cut into tiny pieces, when I am all done, it has been defrosted for about 15 to 20 mins. - which is enough for them to be able to chew the meat pieces, which helps to clean their teeth.
Now, I am considering getting some chicken drumsticks from the Market. Mine didn't really like the chicken flavor premade, so I don't know how they will like real raw chicken. I think I will cut off the chicken from the bone a freeze the little pieces for 48 hours (as was suggested) and try it that way. Also, the main reason I want to try this is b/c I would like them to chew and eat the bone. Roxy's teeth are in such bad shape. They have gotten a little better, but within the next 6 months, she gonna need a cleaning. She lost a tooth a couple of months ago and the Vet thinks another one is loose. It sucks b/c she is going to be 3 soon. IMO too young to be loosing adult teeth. I do what I can with brushing her teeth at least 3x a week and I use the PetzLife spray. I don't know....so I am hoping that the chicken bones can help her out....I am soooooooooooooooo nervous about it though.
Is the Perdue brand ok to get????
