Doesn't like RAW!?! - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My previous answer was not quite correct. If you bought the type where you add your own raw meat, then I would think The Honest Kitchen would definitely be qualified as raw.

You mentioned earlier that she was eating raw ground beef just fine last night? I bet she'd also eat it mixed with the HK packets!!!

AMD, I'm so sorry your having a hard time getting your baby to eat Raw. Bella eats it (the Raw) with gusto and sometimes she doesn't , but I've never been able to get her to eat the larger bones. We had started her on Raw when she was about 11 or 12 weeks old, she had gaps between some of her teeth and just couldn't chew it well and so would spit some of the larger bones out. I went to the NV website and the sample packs look to be $4.99. We have never tried The Honest Kitchen but it sounds good and maybe worth a try.

That is a very good thought! Yes she was eating raw ground beef until she realized I was disguising the NV raw. I'm going to get some samples.

Yay, they're sending me some samples.

I requested the VERVE, THRIVE, & PREFERENCE.
Hopefully she will eat it and LOVE IT!!

BonBon · 06-30-2009, 01:50 PM

Yay!! I can't wait to hear how she likes it!

I am so glad they send free samples. I'm really hoping she likes this.
I'll give an update in a couple days when I receive the samples.

Verve is the beef which my girls ate but definitely did not like nearly as much as the other formulas. The Thrive (which I believe is chicken with Quinoa) was a particularly favorite. Now, they eat Embark and Keen (both turkey formulas) and Preference mixed with cooked white fish and salmon. My girls have done really well on this food and I love the fact there is absolutely no bacteria present in it, but still mostly raw!!!

Good luck Girl...I hope she loves THK!! We tried Embark (Turkey) and it had a lot of broccoli in it and made Snick poop double and green! (heehee) He did enjoy it for like a week and gobbled it down.

Have you tried the parmesan cheese on top trick?

Has she actually tasted it yet, or is she refusing to even try it?

I just wanted to thank you guys for the tips in this thread - I just got my Toby 4 days ago and have been trying to switch him to NV raw, and at first he wouldn't touch it but what worked was breaking it into tiny separate bites, and adding a sprinkle of garlic salt on top

this morning he ate almost a whole medallion, when he wouldn't eat any at all when it was offered as a medallion or mashed. Thanks all!
