    Just as I rely on convenience food like take-away/McDonalds etc, when not at home, my dog gets to eat some convenience food too - it's called kibble!

    I've tested this out and switched back to pro plan kibble for a month....absolutely no problems at all. No slow graduation either, just swapped to 100% pro plan for the month.

    Remember, dogs fed on natural foods, raw and home cooked, have far better digestion than dogs fed the same processed foods every day for the term of their natural life.

    They make dehydrated and freezer dried foods for this purpose. I travel out of state very frequently with three, large, raw fed dogs and simply put their meals in a cooler on dry ice and buy additional meals locally if it's a long (2+ week) trip. There are occasions I travel for longer periods with other people who have raw fed dogs and we have found the dehydrated meals work just as well. Even though most brands like Primal are pricey, and Honest Kitchen contains veggies (which I don't feed as I feed a PMR diet), I don't find it necessary to put them back on kibble for travel.

    I feed Primal 100% of the time. About 2-3 times a week I supplement with a chicken leg, pork rib or raw egg. Once a week they get a large raw meaty bone. I really don't find Primal to be that much more expensive than high-end kibble. I use the freeze dried Primal ($21 per 14 ounces at Chewy for the beef version--the cheapest of the versions). But I stuff their kongs with kibble and tripe and freeze it. Also, they get Trader Joe's and Wellness treats. Also, I find that the freeze dried bars of Primal are much easier fed if I run the bars through a food processor and then measure out with a measuring cup. I took Primal's feeding guide and put one serving in the food processor and then measured it out (1 cup) so I know how much to feed. When I get my monthly Chewy order I process all of it and put it back in the bags for ease. Turns out 2 bags of bars, once processed, will fit in one bag so it stores easier!

That's where I started with Lynn and when she was about seven, I had to move her food to the hallway and water to the living room because I got worried she might hurt herself. She'd actually slipped and fallen flat on the floor a few of times and had to pick her up and that made me think about some changes. Anyway, it would be great if there were more people who feed these alternatives, so we could get some inspiration, learn new tricks etc. etc. Mike&Mel
    I feed all raw and home cooked meals in a dog bowl. However bones are different. The chicken necks and wings can easily go in a bowl with newspaper underneath if desired - remember these are usually consumed within 2-3 crunches. Any other bones are given outside. I have tried an old shower curtain on the floor when the weather is not good but the cleaning or wiping wasn't easy. I have an old sheet instead which if I need to feed instead I use and then wash once a week. However, if the weather is not good etc etc.. I just don't give bones, makes it easy!

    When I was watching a friend's dog, he would take the entire fish head from his bowl and happily munch on it on the carpet. I tried to take it from him and put it back in the bowl, but he was persistent. I told her that her carpet could use some cleaning when she got back, and she said "Oh, yes, he does that, it's okay."

    Personally, I wouldn't be that cool if my carpet smelled like fish

    I think the same people are happy using chemicals etc on their carpets. I insist on no raw food on carpet or any floor, even tiled floors. I also never use chemical cleaning on my floors.

    Nope, no chemicals. She avoids them, she doesn't put chemical tick and flea preventatives on her dog either.
