If there's a good reason, then I'll stop. But it seems to serve them well enough (at this point in time, at least). |
This is fine, don't worry about raw/non-raw, esp. since you're feeding grain-free. The intestines are quite dynamic and can move things along when they're ready anyway (as does the stomach). There is no real reason one can't feed both together - it's like ME saying I can no longer eat a Sushi roll bc it contains raw/non-raw - that's nonsense
. The physiology doesn't work that way - so you're fine.
As for the Orijen Sr. - the real difference is in the Carb and Fats and it's quite marginal, really. In the adult version, there is less carb and more fat than in the senior. Since you are also feeding raw (and can adjust to condition) - I don't think you really have much to sweat here. Sounds like a GREAT diet.
