Had my 10 week old (2.7 lbs) for under a week and just switched him over from Pro Plan (what the rescue group had him on) to Primal (raw food diet). Today is the first whole day of the switch, but already I notice that he is not drinking as much water (because raw food has seven times more moisture in it than kibble) and he hasn't pooped once today (as opposed to the soft stools he was producing up to four times per day; which is good because his body is making better use of this food and not just sending it out the other end).
I feed my other dog Blue Buffalo and Orijen, which are two really good kibbles, but I'll be switching him over to raw soon as well. Did the math, and with 30% meaty bones and the rest formula, it will cost approximately $51 per month to feed both (my 10 pound two year old and the puppy at his current weight of 2.7 pounds). Pricey, but with such small dogs, definitely doable. |
