I was telling my mom about this new diet and she freaked out! I told her I wasn't concerned about bacteria and such, but she brought up parasites from the meat. I hadn't noticed this talked about in this thread; maybe it has been but I don't want to go through 20+ pages to find it!  So, does anyone have info on the parasite stuff? Sorry if it's being redundant! 
This thread is awesome!!! |
Freezing the food for about a month is recommended especially when you are concerned about parasites. Although I know some people don't bother. I would err on the side of caution and just make sure you freeze it for about a month before serving. I wish my husband would hunt!
As for how long before you see benefits.... I would think that you will almost immediately see some benefits but it will probably take a good month for you to start to see a shinier coat and improved teeth and some of the other benefits. Of course, like people, each dog is different.... Good luck! Can't wait to hear how you do.... You might want to read this site as you'll probably be hearing a lot of these myths from your mom....
