Oh you will, you'll see a big difference!

GreyhoundGirl:My mom says I just have to finish the bag of Iams and the bag of purina ONE than I can choose whatever food I want.>>>>>>>>

Just remember when you make the switch do it gradually
by mixing some of the old food with the new food
so your dogs digestive system will get use to the change.

Just as there's no processed human food that's better than fresh veggies, meat, etc. Fresh food is always better than any processed food IMO. And no, I don't feed raw; I just don't have the time at this point in my life. My dogs and myself eat a lot of processed food and we do fine. Would we all be healthier if we only ate fresh food? Well, olf course.

I've switched Keegan to raw for about 10 days now. I am surprised at the difference in her stool. Some of the reasons I switched is that I read that dogs that are overweight might lose weight on raw, dogs that are underweight might gain weight on raw, and pain from arthritis might be relieved.
These are not direct quotes. And I added the words "might be" so that someone won't come and bite me in the butt. Keegan has hip dysplasia and arthritis so I was willing to try anything to help relieve her pain. It isn't a cure-all and I understand that but if it MIGHT help her - I felt obligated to try it.

I'm not ready for raw, yet. I will probably feed raw to my dog ( S ) when I move out. I keep forgeting to give her an egg. :o She still hasn't gotten one yet. :o Only got a quarter-bag of mix food now....
