my vet actually recommended me putting one of my girls who was not gaining any weight on raw.

miss buffey has been on 100% raw for about 2 months now and has gained A LOT of weight. i am feeding her the recommended amount and for her body structure, she is chubby (you cannot feel her ribs at all unless you really push down hard). she always seems hungry and has been stealing her siblings food when i am not looking lol. i think i am going to transition her to 1 raw meal and 1 other meal per day.

i do love her poohs on raw food. they are so small and do not smell at all

ETA: i forgot to mention her teeth are in GREAT shape from eating raw and her breath smells good.

That is what I was doing, I give them a raw meal and then the kibble later in the day. I was giving the amount recommended on the site as well. I chose active as for them and I can't believe how much wt. they have gained

I'm not sure what direction I am going to go now. I still have a bag left that I will give them sometime. I just don't know if I will do it everyday. Mayzie gets 1.6 and Mo gets 1.3 (medallions) <sigh>

We're getting a yorkie pup and want to put her on the Raw diet with the recipe that Karrie uses, we're a little unsure how to switch her from her Diamond puppy food she'll be used to, to this raw food we're preparing her...

HELP

An interesting link on bacteria in raw meat and how it affects our dogs ...

I've been feeding raw for almost 2 years now and I love it for my boys.
