| Bonny!! You're so sweet!!! I have been MIA a bit...summer just started so stopped teaching and am now enjoying time off which seems to in turn made me busier, but I love it b/c it's with things I love to do I will put Snick's 1 yr pics up after his bday party in July. Can't believe my little boy is going to be 1!!!!! Also...if anyone is contimplating raw...I can probably convince you to try it!! I have to add...when Snick eats..the raw touches NOTHING but his mouth, the dish, the defrost container, and the knives I cut it up with. I have watched him eat up close and personal, and none of it gets on his beard. He eats from down to up, uses his mouth to fling it to the back of his mouth to chew with back teeth, and then licks his plate clean. I use stainless steel plates, plastic knives, and small individual containers to defrost each medallion. Everything is washed with steaming hot water and antibac dish soap immediately after he eats. His beard is face is washed with a warm baby wipe. It works out perfectly. No bleach (scares me to use it around him-so harsh.) It surprises me how worried people are about the germs...don't we all cook raw meat for our families almost daily? It gets on cutting boards, our counters, etc We all clean up properly and thats it. Right??

What veggies do you feed your baby? I can't get Ziggy to eat hardly any. He'll eat all the meat from his bowl and then just leave a pile of peas in the corner. He likes carrots but only if I boil them first, and that kinda defeats the purpose.

| 80/10/10 meat/bone/liver & organs I initially did NV medallions and then prey model. Now I make my own grind to ensure she's getting the correct % of everything. In fact, made a months worth yesterday. Freeze it in 5oz bags. Pull a couple days at a time from the freezer and away we go! I also give her some plain yogurt, a probiotic and salmon oil for lunch. She's so funny. I feed her in her expen. When she sees me coming with the bowl she does this crazy kind of circling dance on her hind legs. She LOVES it! |

| Spreadsheet At the bottom of the very first post you can find the personal raw feeding guide spreadsheet. You just need to put in your dogs weight and it will break it all down for you. PERSONAL RAW FEEDING GUIDE (New and Improved) - Raw Food Diet Forum |

That's what I found so alarmist and concerning as well, and so misleading (by the vet, not the person who posted this). It's as silly as saying "warning: kibble diets cause pancreatitis" - it's as ignorant to say that as it was for the Vet to say what was said about raw. And I really agree with your second point as well - when you run across vets who have truly made nutrition a big priority, you often find they support raw diets. The best example of a vet like that is Dr. Terifaj: DOG-Breath Blog
