Lady has been eating the NV Prairie kibble and canned for almost two years now and has done really well on it. Their Prairie line is high protein, but not raw. Instinct is their raw line.
A raw diet can be very beneficial, but it's not appropriate for every dog. Lady is a diabetic and because of her weakened immune system, her body can't handle the bacteria found in raw. It's always best to check with your vet before starting a raw diet.
The most important thing to remember when feeding raw is to practice good sanitation just as you do when handling your own raw food - careful hand washing before and after handling it, thoroughly washing dishes, etc. |
