We have been feeding pre-made raw for about a month now. We have tried natures variety and primal- and are going to stick to the primal because I feel like Mickey and Mallory do much better on it.
I have two questions...
Do those of you that feed Primal fast one day a week? The primal website suggests fasting.
Quote:
Fasting
Another important component in feeding your dog a raw diet is the process of fasting. This age-old practice, used to aid digestion and cleanse toxins, is common among dogs in the wild. Although not essential to the well-being of your dog, we suggest fasting your adult dog one day per week, from breakfast to breakfast. The necessary amount of fasting time will vary from dog to dog. Be sure to provide plenty of fresh, purified water and extra love and attention to your companion throughout the fasting day. |
Also they suggest using digestive enzymes but only for the first 2-4 weeks.
We never used the enzymes.... should we be using them regularly? I thought that the enzymes were only needed for Prey Model Diet?
Thanks!
