Do you do the premade frozen raw?
Do you do any kibble or freeze dried if you don't remember to thaw the meal or does it get easier to remember?

The more I'm reading the more I would Love to get her on raw both meals.

I actually enjoy it. At first I thought it would be too much work but it's really easy. . I use petdiets.com ( Dr. Remillard) and I add Balanceit as my supplement. I am really glad that I do it for my girls.

I was told by several shop owners that Orijen was, in their opinion, best of the best and the closest you can get to RAW, but in Kibble form.

I am sure this has been asked more than once...

Perhaps you should do a consult with a vet nutritionist

I also feed a pre-made raw and she gets a little over an ounce above recommended. She gained weight right at first but has since tapered off. She had weight to gain though because she was a very malnourished rescue. She's staying right around 3lbs 6oz and has been on raw for 3 months.

The past 2-days I have fed Stella & Chewy's premade raw... rabbit and she is doing Great. It's kind of crazy. When I am preparing it she is trying to climb the back of my leg, she is so excited. LOL!! I think I am going to stick with that for a while.

I see that in the last month you fed at least 3 different kinds of food. Orijen, Natures Variety, Stella and Chweys and said you had also ordered Darwins.
IF is she having allergy issues how are you ever going to figure out if this what the problem is with your Girl??

I think LadyJane is correct you maybe should consult a Vet nutritionist, instead if changing her food all the time and creating other issues!!!

Yep! You read correctly.

I am actually consulting with R Remillard, PhD, DVM, DACVN from "Pet Diets". I had emailed her a week ago and we were able to converse, today about 4-hours ago.

She, along with my vet and myself are putting together a plan of action. Thanks for your concern!!

To see any kind of major impacts, you would have to feed the same food for at least 3 months. There are so many environmental issues such as temperature, humidity, allergens, etc, that can factor into "issues". It's nearly impossible to judge a foods overall performance when you are switching so often.

I feed Kinder Fromms Whitefish and Potatoe because she is allergic to chicken.I think Orijen is a top of the line food.If Kinder could not eat Fromms that would be my next choice. Susan

Dr R is great. She is the one that helped my Rosie get a proper diet for her issues. We have had a lot less vet visits since we started home cooking with Dr. R's recipe. I would listen to what she has to say.
