Raw... and lovin' it!

[phoebesmom]

Just to bring you all up to scratch :) . I started Phoebe on her raw diet last Saturday, and we haven't looked back. At the moment I am only feeding her chicken wings, mixed with a little yoghurt and salmon oil, and will probably do so for another week or so, just to be sure. She LOVES her new food and I love the results. After MONTHS of copious, squirty poops (sorry to be so graphic) her tummy has finally settled down and now she only poops twice a day, and they are as firm as can be.

So, thanks everybody for all the posts on raw, as I spent hours poring over posts on this forum as well as Boxerworld, and am so happy that we switched over :D .

One funny little note - I think she loves the texture of her new food (it is ground) because she ate up half the sand on the beach on Sunday.. I guess she liked the gritty texture!!

I know what you mean about the poops! We are thrilled with Lola's now that we've switched to raw, and it's so nice to see her really enjoy her food.

Phoebe!! Congrats!! appicon You are doing good ha? Good girl ! Tuffy and I are very happy to know that you are eating as a real dog now appicon appicon

Carol, IMO wings has to much bones and no meat. I use to give chicken wings or necks only when I need to add more bones to their meals, to make a right balance between meat and bones. why dont you try to give her for the next week a chicken quarters or chicken breast (with bones) ? You will give her more meat then. :) In my opinion it is more balanced...

Cheers! ;)

Thanks for the encouragement Tati :) . She has almost finished the wings that I bought for her, and next on the menu is chicken breast, which I will feed to her for about 4 days, and thereafter start adding some offal to the chicken/bone meal.
