| I switched to Prey Model Raw! I've been feeding Nature's Variety raw to Lacy for over 2 years now and about 4 months to Rylie, but the prices were getting crazy so I finally decided to make the switch to Prey Model Raw since I've always felt it was best anyway AND it is SOOOO much cheaper!! So I switched to PMR yesterday! Yesterday breakfast was some boneless pork, a small piece of liver & fish oil. Dinner was a chicken leg...I let them chew it down halfway and put it back int he fridge to finish for breakfast today. Then tonight they had some more pork, a tiny piece of liver and some raw egg..although they didn't want to eat any egg shell. Tomorrow is beef heart for breakfast and a chicken thigh for dinner. I just wanted to let you all know we finally made the switch to PMR!

| I'm sure they would have finished the whole chicken leg in one meal if I'd let them but I thought that was a little too much for one meal so I made them stop half-way and finish it the next day.

| TJ is back on NV - I want to go Prey, but still don't know how much each day? He has gained 1 lb since being back on NV (not good) - I am walking them everyday, but don't see him loosing.. I bought chicken wings (defrosting today) and I plan to take off the skin and give him one for breakfast tomorrow to see if he likes it. I also may give one to Roxy (although she can't go Raw) her teeth really need to 'work' on something |

| They've done really well on it so far. Ada had told me that pork and chicken are good base meats for prey-model. I bought the bone-in pork chops and cubed up the meat. Ada said porkchop bones are sawed so they can be sharp and really aren't worth the risk...but bone-in pork chops are much cheaper so I'll probably keep buying those and just cut the meat off and throw the bone away. I want to get some short-ribs

| That's good to know about the bones because I bought pork chops yesterday and thought I'd let the dogs chew on them but I will have to make sure they are not too sharp. I got chicken on sale yesterday, Foster Farms, whole chicken for .69 cents a pound!! I have to cut it up, but what a deal!!

| I do feed the rib bones with the breast but I cut the breast into 3 pieces for 3 portions because the breasts are too big. Is it bad to feed those rib bones?? None of mine have choked but they have only had breast meat a few times.
