Homecooking, INO, is quite expensive (but maybe about what raw costs...not sure). I's hard to travel with, you need extra freezer space, etc.
There is an endless debate about wet food being worse for teeth than kibble. I will say the source I trust on this says it's a myth. At the same time, I have read where people have fed wet food and had an issue with teeth. Sooooo, I guess it's all in how you look at it... Ellie ate mostly kibble for her first five years and had horrible teeth. Now on homecooked they get brushed and they are much better. I say whatever they eat, brush them and use OraVet.  |
thank you so much for the info. it's really helpful. i like feeding milu raw, but i am concerned about safety of raw diet. so i was considering homecooking, but it's such a big commitment. maybe it's not as bad as i am thinking...
would you feed Ellie May raw food or do you think it's not the safest thing for her?
