| That's nasty, Mom Hi everyone I have been trying to feed raw and have tried beef, which my little furbaby likes, but I tried raw chicken today, as the beef was giving her the runs. I gave her a piece of a chicken carcass on an old towel. She looked at it, then quickly gathered up the ends of the towel and began to bury it! 'This is nasty, mom, it's dead! I better bury it before someone tries to eat it!' I laughed so much, there were tears running down my face. She was SO determined to make sure it was completely 'buried' in the towel that she spend ages making quite sure it was well and truly hidden. I thought she might at least try some as I had made sure she was really hungry before I gave it to her. Oh well, I am going to try rabbit next - wish me luck! Luv Franceen |

| I don't think I could ever give mine(even the 2 big dogs), raw chicken, I just don't see how it could be good for them. .I buy the frozen chicken breasts and cook them up for the big dogs to put in with their food everynight.. |

| I felt just as you do, hha. I took a lot of convincing and a lot of reading and chatting to people on the forum who feed raw. I finally felt convinced that it was safe. My friends were horrified and almost accused me of animal abuse! Anyway, it seems Tootsy has made her own mind up and agrees with you! Luv Franceen |

| raw chicken I tried raw chicken wings for my Bichons. I could hardly stand to give it to them and then when they tried to eat them, they choked. I do cook chicken for them and cut it up with their kibble, but no more raw chicken at my house. It's yucky! |

| I feed raw beef, venison, lamb, and rabbit - but not chicken. My girls both love raw. Good luck.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Hang in there, you'll find what works for you and your fur kids. We do pre-made raw (not prey model) - raw is just so good for them. I applaud you for trying prey-model from the start - to be honest, I'm just too lazy. I find the pre-made so convenient and easy, so we went that route. Love it. Keep us posted on the progress!

| I'm thinking with how we have to have chicken cooked or it can make us sick (or kill us), it could do the same thing to dogs too...I still don't feel they've studied this raw enough to know if it's good or not..they can say it is, look at years back, but, this isn't years back, dogs have been domesticated for years and eating dog food..I am just sticking with what I've used for years..All of our dogs have lived long healthy lives and never had to take any of them to the vet except for shots, other than the one yorkie having a benign cyst.. |
