This is the diet prescribed for Sissy's digestive disorder from the pet nutritionist. When we add the fish, she gets less than 1 oz of fish, so it is low in protein, low in fat and yet contains healthy veggies and fruits, but still no grains.
The girls are doing wonderfully well on it, have great looking teeth and coats amd it is not time consuming or messy to feed. We event travel with it (and then used tuna or salmon in water - the foil packets). With the freeze-dried dehyrated raw, any chance of e-coli or salmonella is eradicated as well. It is definitely more expensive, but not a ton more.
My girls will not eat any other raw, including the medallions or grind. When I have tried, Sissy turns her nose up and Angel then proceeds to choke for hours (I'm presuming on the bone fragments). |
I didn't think freezing effected e-coli or salmonella, I know they can't grow under freezing conditions, but they aren't destroyed either.
When you say Sissy turns her nose up at other raw because of the bone fragments, I thought bone fragments were a very important part of the nutrition in raw, does this mean that the freeze dried raw has no fragments, or do you mean that they are ground up tinier?
