Raw Diet

Oh, and do any of you have experience with the pre-made raw diets? My sister got a few samples of a raw food from PetsMart, but I cant recall the name of it?

Nevermind, I have just found a food that is just like a raw diet. It's called Innova EVO. I think I will definately try this and see how it goes, it has no grains at all and includes everything a raw diet does.

No need to answer to my first post, this food sounds perfect!

Hey there,

Well, I guess you're into EVO now, but I just want to inform you that pre-made raw diets are often loaded with grains and veggies and lure the buyer into a false sense of security that they're all 100% balanced. They're not. They're very expensive, and often need to be supplemented with additional RMB's. As well, although EVO is as close to raw as you can get through kibble, kibble is still kibble and no kibble can ever mimic raw. Even though EVO doesn't contain grains, it does contain potato. I think people skip over the "L" in Lo-carb and assume the bag says "No carb"

Also, I believe you have a puppy? If so, I would think twice before feeding EVO. It has an incredibly high protein level (42% I think...) and this could spell disaster for a large breed puppy's joints. I haven't raised a puppy in over 7 years but I do know that those who feed kibble skip EVO and use a high quality all lifestages food like regular Innova or Canidae. Once the puppy hits adulthood, you can switch to EVO. Likewise, you can being feeding raw right now as it truly is an all lifestages food!

Lol! No, I have no dogs right now. I will be feeding EVO to my dog/s when I adopt them. I believe EVO is far more better than any food out there now, but I know Natura says NOT to feed it to puppies. If I happen to get a puppy, I will feed regular Innova and switch to EVO like you've said. I know alot about raw, I am just so scared to go ahead with it.

Thanks!
