I dont think that the total reason for eating raw meat is for the bloat issue...just one of the breeders we did talk to, prefers it to kibble/dry food. I think that they also say that it helps the dog to not gobble down the food quite so fast as they would kibble...b/c they have to chew more and therefore, they digest it a little slower, if you know what i mean. Anyway, thats my 2 cents worth Some believe that eating raw meat also improves the the look of their coat and overall health of the dog. But 2 each his own...i am not for, or against it...havent ever tried it...this is just what i have heard...


Binx, you sould like a great puppy....good for you for being housetrained already!! Hope my soon-to-be big puppy learns that fast! And i agree, if he is already housetrained and doesnt chew on things while you are away...then the crate doesnt seem neccessary.
