We are going back to Natures Variety raw food that is about 8% fat. Please keep an eye on your little one.

I watch her closely and monitor her fluid intake as well. I know many vets are against raw feeding while some are very much for it. I am feeding more of the Paw Naturaw than the dehydrated at this point. The foods made up of Bison and Turkey and duck are much lower in fat while beef, chicken and lamb can have very high levels of fat. She is doing really well and although it would be much less expensive and easier to feed kibble I am really pleased with the results we are having......not to mention that she refuses kibble anyway. I have been looking into some companies that use deer and rabbit meat but don't know enough about them yet to decide.
