Hi there.
Try feeding bone-in breasts instead of any other bone in. Chicken breast bones are very easy to eat. Even my dogs who have been on raw since October takes 30 minutes or more to finish a drumstick. Don't worry about percentages at first, you feed her lots of meat for now, some bone to firm up the poop, and nothing else. Don't even switch meats for a few weeks - let her get used to it. Chicken is the most bland and easiest meat to digest, beef is one of the hardest. I personally love to feed pork, but that will come in time for you.
I would prefer to pack my own ground meat and bone rather than feeding NV, but that's me.
What are your worries in feeding raw? I had plenty and once I switched I never looked back. I recommend you to join the rawfeeding group in yahoo, if you're really interested in switching. Lots of experienced and very helpful people there - you'll learn so much.
Why would you still feed kibble if you've already decided to feed raw? This was, you won't know which is causing the problems and all that.
To tell you the truth, I would bet a lot that once you've fed unenchanced raw meat and bones for a few weeks that rash would clear up. |
