I’m Looking For Good Quality Raw Food For Dogs…?

editor — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 15:35:33 +0000

I currently feed my dogs Orijen, but am considering either switching to raw food or including some raw food in their diet, the primary reason for doing so being their immune systems and general health. Does anyone know of any good quality pre-packed (preferably frozen) raw food for canines? I want to balance the health benefits of a more natural diet with practicality, and do the best I can for them within reason. (I know many people feed their dogs raw chicken, for instance, but having had two dogs suffer campylobacter twice, I have to draw the line at raw poultry. Apologies to the die-hard raw foodists!) I am in the UK, by the way, so please, no links to US suppliers.
Any other advice you have regarding feeding raw would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Who Feeds A Grain Free Food And What Kind And Who Feeds Raw?

editor — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 03:30:05 +0000

Just curious who is out there that feeds a good grain free diet or who feeds raw. I feed a raw diet to my adult dogs but our pups go to their new homes on Taste of the Wild(grain free) since the majority of people don’t want to feed raw. Also if you feed raw do you do prey model or barf? What kind of dogs do you have and are you involved in any dog sports or showing??
I breed and show german shepherds, we have several champion pointed dogs and a champion, we also have obedience titled dogs and one presently working with my daughter in agility. My daughter is also tied for the #10 Junior handler in the USA for german shepherds! Here is a link to my website.http://sites.centralpets.com/mammals/pea…

She has been spayed but I think there is a Tom cat hanging around. Does a cat go off there food when in heat or is some one else feeding her.

Does Anyone Feed Their Cat A Raw Food Diet? My Girl Has Digestive Problems(frequent Diarrhea)?

editor — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 22:25:47 +0000

She’s been to the vet a lot & she (the vet) doesn’t think the cat is seriously ill. She thinks it may be irritable bowel syndrome. Right now kitty is on Hills ID prescription food. She seems better on this food, but they say it should only be fed short term & she’s been on it 3 mos. Also, it contains a lot of bad ingredient including corn gluten & chicken bi-products YUK My vet doesn’t seem at all knowledgeable about food. I’m planning on going to a holistic vet, but wanted to get input from members who feed the raw food diet. Thanks!

How Many Times Per Day Should I Feed My 11wk Old/2yr Old Poms On The Raw Food Diet?

editor — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 21:56:21 +0000

Should I feed the at separate times also? My little one likes to hog the bowl. Does it take the same amount of time to work it’s way through the body as regular dry kibble since raw food is supposed to be absorbed more into he dogs body?

I Feed My Dogs Raw Food, Should I Worm More Often And I Have An Additional Question?

editor — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 03:27:10 +0000

I have been feeding raw for about 3 weeks now and it just came to my mind, should I worm them every 3 months or so?
Now, the only time I wormed my dogs is when they were puppies, or when they didn’t seem to put on weight. Now I do raw feeding (awesome!!) and they are at a VERY balanced weight and I already have noticed a change in my huskies’ fur.
Anyway, (need to stop bragging about raw feeding lol) Do I need to de-worm every couple of months or so? Ive also read that de-worming all the time is not good for them.
Experienced raw feeders, please let me know your input.
Thanks (:

Chicken Neck
Chicken Gizzard
Chicken Liver
Cow’s Heart
Fish

** I would also like to know what you feed your dogs?

Food Question – Orijen, Raw Diet Etc.?

editor — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 21:28:33 +0000

Hi :]
Another food question – i get sick of seeing them x]
You might want to eat me after hearing this (Americans/Canadians anyhow) – we are currently feeding our puppy James WellBeLoved (actually you may not even have it over there..) well on the DogFoodAnalysis site it is a 3 star food.
It’s first 2 ingredients are: Rice, Turkey Meat Meal.
I’m a member of a Shih Tzu forum (mostly UK members) and they think that it is a good quality food. Over here we don’t have Canadian brands such as Orijen available (other than online) so most people feed either raw diet, JWB, Eukanuba, Royal Canin etc.
I enquired about raw feeding on the forum and a few people feed raw – ‘Natures Menu’ nuggets (link: http://www.naturesmenu.co.uk/products/fr…
I thought that raw was..feeding cuts of meat and a lot of effort but this is effortless, natural food in nugget form. Anyone in the UK had these (or US, wherever) and would you consider them a healthy diet for my Shih Tzu?

How Much Veggies Should I Give My Dog With His Raw Food?

editor — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 09:27:28 +0000

I feed my dog raw food, and the one he is eating right now doesn’t have the veggies mixed into it like some brands, like urban carnivore. I want to give him fresh veggies with his meal but not sure much to give him. Hes a 17lb French Bulldog X Boston Terrier and he is 11 months old.He eats a half pound patty a day.
