LOL, yeah, it messes with my memory of being a black-haired 35 year old.
That's exactly why we switched to longevity. The jugs of supplements that had to be refrigerated were taking over in our fridge! It seems like a lot of powder if you have a large dog but we use it...
When I have to have someone else feed them, I pre-measure and bag up each meal in it's own ziploc baggie, label it with their name and which meal it is. Then all they have to do is dump in a bowl. ...
Nope, no one comments on my choices. The ones that do get the "once you pay for my dogs' food bill, then you have a right to comment" which shuts them up.
I switch mine between kibble and raw...
Yep, sometimes. But I don't get into arguments with them. It's just the way it is, my dog is raw fed - and no one's disgust will change that, because I don't care if they are disgusted!
Nope, they do think I am pretty "weird" in general when it comes to my dogs though. Probably raw is one of the least strange things I've done in their opinion, LOL. Even though they all have dogs...
No, I don't get grief. I did get questions 'cause we changed pretty quickly. I didn't get grief when I used a prong either. Or when I left him intact. I think the secret is my hair. It's pretty...
I mostly just get, "OMG - what about the bones? Won't those kill them???"
A couple people think it's gross, but they also eat all of their food from boxes because it's also gross that fresh...
We use salmon oil and vitamin e together and then also supplement with Springtime "Longevity" which has spirulina, kelp and a laundry list of other stuff. We routinely feed green tripe, pork,...
I would be careful to feed a meal of liver….you might end up with major canon butt! I’m pretty sure I would with mine if I fed them a week’s worth of liver all at once. But I do know people who...
Years ago I fed raw and I used to order from this place in Ohio. A Place for Paws - Columbiana, Ohio - Home
Though not a co-op, My Pet Carnivore delivers to Ohio. I use them, they have great products and awesome customer service.

Try looking at the Coop Directory Service www.coopdirectory.org Don't limit yourself to your immediate city. The coop that we belong to services all of Western Washington and Northern Portland,...
Wow, so much good stuff up above I have only one thing I can think to add. Check out raw dog food suppliers near you. They may have a cheaper supply of the meats you need and they may be a valuable...
There aren't many beef bones that are actually edible...ox tails are, but often expensive. I'm trying to get ahold of some beef kneecaps, I have heard those are edible. Weight bearing bones from...
Believe me, I also thought my dog looked fantastic on kibble but the change after a few months on raw was amazing. You won't believe your eyes!
When it comes to weight, if you see him gaining...
Hi,
First of all, congrats on taking a step into raw! I am sure you won't regret it!
Sounds like a good plan. I switched to raw cold turkey. Starting with only one protein source (chicken)...
Should be fine, a friend of mine makes organ grinds, adds it to those, and freezes.
We do prey also. We only added green beans as a filler. We cold turkey transitioned our Newf rescue this week from kibble and he loves it. I wouldn't load up on too much chicken until your sure...
I feed PMR and don't know much about BARF, but can answer the question about the Omega 3's. Yes, if you are feeding primarily chicken, I would add salmon oil. Omega 3's are naturally occurring in...
I got a lot of great advice in this thread: https://www.lab-retriever.net/board/barf-raw-and-natural-diets/3758-raw.html?highlight=feed when I asked about going raw. Not sure if you saw it or not but...

just getting his Wookie on.
1. When and if I get a puppy again, I'll start it on a natural diet right away. Many people raise their dogs from puppies on raw with no problems. My dog was 6 years on kibble and had his fair share...
Raw and kibble digest differently and should not be mixed in meals together.
