I've been reading and reading and I've decided to make some changes in what I feed to my little girl, Jasmine. It looks as though a completely raw diet would be best for her, but such a feeding regime is not compatible with my lifestyle.

So I thought perhaps I would feed her Innova Evo in the morning and 1 or 2 1oz medallions of Nature's Variety frozen raw foods (thawed, of course) in the evening (or a couple of ounces of a number of frozen raw foods available). Upon further research, however, I've read some very conflicting articles about mixing kibbles (the Evo) with raw meat foods; some say it's a big no no, yet other posts state that they feed raw and supplement with a kibble. I'm confused!

Can someone please put this to bed for me? Can I feed my furkbaby Evo kibbles in the morning, and an ounce or two of raw food in the evening? Or will such a diet make her sick (I'm assuming because of the enzymes issue)?

Thank you all in advance for your suggestions and help. I've learned an unbelievable amount from this forum over the last few days!

By the way, I bought a bag of Evo tonight (major surprise - $22.99 for only 13.2 lbs, whoa!) and Jasmine went so crazy over it, she was taking it from me like it was a treat! Even if I can't feed her the raw, she'll definitely be getting the Evo from now on. *smile!*
