It is not hard at all and my babies are all so healthy!

I feed a Prey Model Raw diet too and it is really easy once you've got all the guidelines down. I love feeding this way because It's fresh and I know exactly what she's eating and where her food is coming from. If you can't feed PMR, premade raw is a good option.

I alternate between flavors and they are doing great on it...

I heard this is a great brand of premade raw to feed. Glad to hear your gang is doing well on it

Thanks for all of the info. I bought a couple of Acana trial bags and Moses still doesn't like kibble. My boutique pet-store carries Primal raw. I will try that next. He seems to like chicken, so we will give it a whirl! Thanks you guys! I learn so much from you all!

Rileys Loves his Primal Raw Chicken!
He makes high pitch shrieks and does circles as I am putting it in his bowl!!

I've been wanting to switch mine to raw food for a while now. I finally bought the trial size of Instinct and am hoping she likes it! I've tried different types of kibble but she doesn't like any of them and I feel bad that she eats it bc she has to not bc she enjoys it at all or wants to eat it. How long do you have to defrost the food for it to be ready? Should I leave it in the fridge overnight? I feed her twice a day, in the morning and evening. If they don't eat it do you have to dispose of it or can you put it back in the fridge?

Never mind, just read the link to Instinct that someone posted

We feed Primal and Bravo! Raw and love it!! My boys are thriving. We do on occasion include some Acana kibble as well for some crunch!!
