Right now she probably doesen't even think it is food because of being used to commercial.

You may be right....she is so spoiled that I would have to warm her food in the microwave, just enought to knock the chill off it, before she would want to eat it. Maybe it is just because it is cold and the searing may help.

This type raw has to be very different...my friend made her own..used a meat grinder for the chicken etc.. I am all for anything that prompts healthy teeth/breath...mine have not had that problem with the cooked diet I give them..but I do brush their teeth every evening with Oxy-fresh dental..best wishes

The Chicken NV was NOT liked by Roxy and TJ. I had to throw the bag away.

Their Favorite was Rabbit - Maybe try that type to start with.

Had to inspect the poop....have I lost my mind? Anyway, I noticed The little flax seeds were whole, wonder why they are even included as it appears they are not digested. Also noticed poop from last night was already white.

I'm not sure about the flax seeds but I've seen them in the poop too. Maybe they add fiber?

I wonder that too...I might take a closer look at Chloe's poop next time and see if I could find any seed in it. Her 1st RAW poop was very bright yellow brownish color and very wet.

yeah Lacy's is always a yellowish-brown color. It's usually pretty firm but has a slickness to it on the outside...it crumbles though if I try to pick it up normally. (all you ever wanted to know about poop... )

haha, I normally picked up poops when they are dry (unless we are on a walk, then I pick it up right away! I am a responsible Yorkie mommy! ) So, is her poop looks really wet?

P.S sorry everyone for this poop poop talk! hope it doesnt make you sick!

No, they aren't wet at all. They're hard and normally almost crumbly..hard to pick up without them crumbling. But when she first poops, it has a slickness on the outside (probably from expressing her anal glands when she poops).

For those who's don't like regular raw you might want to try the freeze dried. Mine are extremely picky and got bored after awile of the regular raw and I tried the freeze dried and they have been on it for the last 2-3 months and they like it.

Do you add water to it? If so, how much?

No mine like it dry. I crumble it in bite size pieces and that's it. With the frozen raw I would have to wash their faces and they would smell for at least 1/2 hr after they ate not with the freeze dried. It is also easier to take when on the road with them.

But it is okay to add water to it right?? Thanks.

Marcel likes the freeze dried better too, which is a bummer bc it's TWICE the cost...little stinker. Wylie loves both.
