The difference I see in my pups, since starting raw, about 10 months ago, is unbelievable...I was skeptical, at first...In fact, I didn't even understand, exactly, what this feeding raw was all about...I imagined a piece of chicken, greasin' up the floor, while my pup dragged in around the room, leaving salmonella all over the place...I finally learned about the pre-made, frozen pkgd. raw you buy at only the best pet stores...Before raw, Apple liked going for a walk, but she wasn't really energetic about it, and it wasn't that great, trying to drag her along for our 30 minute walk...After about a month, she began stepping it out, making it hard for me to keep up w/her, her coat got soooooooooooo shiny, and of course, the nice side effect of raw, smaller, firmer, less frequent and odor in the stools...Even 'though NV had a recall of their chicken products, which, btw, my kids had 3 or 4 bags of the recalled chicken, and never got sick, I'm still a believer in raw...I'm a bit more cautious, and have switched to Stella & Chewies, because of their hydrostatic pressure process to eliminate pathogens...It's still not heated, so nothing is altered in the food, except the elimination of pathogens...I'll still use Primal, as well, but they have limited proteins in my area...Hope my story gives you an insight of a raw food user... |
