I have to be honest and say that I can't give Matilda bones. She chokes so easily on just about anything and then spends an hour making a funny sound in her throat. So, she gets the ground raw as does Kalina (Kalina has had choking episodes in the past too). I understand that maybe it would be OK to give them the meaty bones, but I am just so scared to do it and haven't taken a chance yet.
Other than that, my girls are doing fantastic on the raw. They devour it. My daughter's Yorkie, who is not on raw, came to spend three days with us while they went to a tournament. They give her whatever is on sale (dry) from the supermarket. I tried to give her some of the raw and she spit it out (whereupon Matilda or Kalina gobbled it up as quick as they could).
I wanted to say that my girls have the most luxurious coats and I wonder if the diet has anything to do with this?
At Kalina's one-year check up I had them test her for Lyme and Heartworm (both negative) and told them to have the titer done at the same time so that she doesn't receive any unnecessary shots. The always look at my like I'm the crazy dog-mother, but Oh Well! Turns out she didn't need any of the shots and I saved her from that. I feel really good about that.
Both my girls are doing GREAT on the raw.
