I haven't read the whole thread because I'm anxious to ask a couple of questions. Please read my whole post, this is NOT an anti-raw comment in any way.
Every so often, I think about feeding raw, then let it go for a couple of reasons.
If I'm being completely honest, the first reason is the ick factor. I won't cut up a raw chicken for my human family...can't do it without gagging. The thought of chicken heads, feet, whole fish, necks
and other animals parts....ugh. I'm truly a product of the processed food generation
So, I think I'll end up spending hundreds of dollars a month buying pre-cut meats and then I'll just have to stop, because I certainly can't afford that.
Next, if I get past the ick factor there is the question of how much. I've got big yorkies (13 and 17 lbs give or take) How do I figure out how much to give them. Waiting to see if they are getting fat then cutting back, or if they are getting thin then adding will truly make me a basket case. Is there a guideline or rule of thumb?
If I could get over these couple of hurdles, I would more seriously consider raw. I want to do the best for my furkids and that includes feeding them the best way that I can.
Sorry, if these questions have already been dealt with on here, I'm going back to keep reading.
