I just want to make sure I'm using safe handling techniques and read that Primal should be immediately stored in your freezer or frozen and/or thaw mealed portions should be refrigerated. Not that the store is 100 miles away or anything. It's 10 miles down the road, but I want to be super safe. I've also read you should incorporate one whole organic egg yolk into your dogs raw food 2x a wk. That kind of scares me though to be honest. Yes for some strange reason it does. I guess since there are elevated levels of Salmonella in eggs. Does anyone feeding Primal incorporate the egg yolk 2 x a week like recommended? Also, when making the transition did you notice any significant different physical appearances with or your dogs and detoxification signs (discharge from the eyes, excess wax in the ears, loss of coat, minor skin rashes and soft, loose stool) and if so how long should this last? Thanks so much again! I can't wait to try pre-made raw on my girl! I'm so excited.  |
I remember being SO excited when transitioning too

No cooler necessary at all. It will stay frozen in your car for a good while, just like frozen groceries would. I usually defrost 3-4 days worth at a time, on the counter, then put the tupperware in fridge - and feed from that. I don't do the egg thing.
My dogs transitioned w/ no side effects at all. Their poos just got non-smelly, smaller, firmer (not so "voluminous/fluffy"), great breath. IF there is any loose stool - it shouldn't last more than 2-3 days.
