How do your babies enjoy the NV dry kibble? Before putting Mango on their Raw medallions, she was on the Evangers, but I always had to coat the kibble with their canned chicken because she was such a finnicky eater. Maybe I should give the NV kibble a try as well. That was one of the reasons I was so happy with the Raw, she just gobbled it down. Unfortunately she has been having issues with vomiting (long story), so I am also waiting for the opinion of a Holistic Vet. My own Vet had never even heard of a raw diet and was horrified when I described it to him.  He also tried to scare me with dire warnings about tiny dogs, bacteria, etc, etc.
hugs to you and your delicious furbutts,

Trust your instinct! Find a holistic vet. Raw feeding is incredibly healthy. Any risks are eliminated by hygiene practices. I feel I am happier taking the slight risk of bacteria, rather then the risk of contaminated and useless pet kibbles that lack nutritional value. Check out Rob Mueller's BARF Blog at barfworld.com. He is a top expert in the field. I am sorry to say most vets are anti raw because they lack nutritional training! Vet school focuses on biology, anatomy and surgery. It doesn't teach much about preventative and whole animal care. I know - I dropped out because there was no info on caring for pets!
