What I saw her baby and her other friend's babies eat, scared me lol. What if my babies start looking at my neighbors rabbit in a weird way  
But seriously, I couldn't feed my little ones that way, not only disgusting in a sad way, but broke my heart (baby pigs, baby deer, rabbit, etc). I couldn't cut any of those up, I think I'd faint...
When I gave my little ones the chicken bone, and then the piece of chicken, they didn't want to eat their kibble at all. I think they were holding out for more of what I had given them before  How do you manage to give raw for breakfast and kibble (sometimes) with can for dinner?
I think once my little ones go raw, they'll never go back to kibble (???) But, then again, if they don't want to see kibble ever again, I'll cross that bridge when I get there, right?
I just talk to someone about NV and he said he'll help me out with choosing the flavors, etc when I see him on Saturday (they know me--panicky, freakout-easy furbutt parent) |
Ya know what's weird about doing that, Alice got to a point before I started the raw where she wouldn't touch kibble at all and was even very picky about canned. Every since I started the one raw meal a day, she gobbles the kibble right up for dinner like she never did before, staight out of her bowl even
!. I did go raw exclusively for a few days first though where she had no kibble at all (she wouldn't eat the kibble anyway), but once I intergrated the kibble back in, she eats it wonderfully, I don't even need to mix the canned in every day (I've just been doing it to keep them from getting bored since I buy the 30# bag and it lasts a while). I did switch her from Orijen to NV kibble, but I'd offered her NV kibble before giving any raw and she didn't seem to want it.
Idk, something about it being a different "form" at the different meals of the day works perfectly for both Alice and my picky Akita. As long as they get that raw for breakfast, they're good to go with kibble and maybe some canned for dinner. I don't know why it worked but it did and beautifully, no more pickyness AT ALL. Every NV product I've offered them since adding the raw, they ate great, it's crazy, but I'm thirlled that I don't have any more "eating battles" lol.
I can't remember what you originaly said - did you only give them a small piece of raw steak or something? Maybe that's why, because they didn't get the full meal of raw? Idk, these little dogs are so funny about their food. lol
