Anyone else feed an all RAW diet?

My 1/2 dog (Diesel) eats that. He's not a chubby dog... that's for sure. But it works.

I just switched the Shelties back to premade raw. I'm going to start buying bulk from a supplier soon so I can add in my own veggies and supplements. Kai was THRILLED to be eating raw again!

Aww..you guys make me wanna switch my dogs to raw! Totally absolutely no way mom is going to agree to that. Roxy really needs to go on Raw, especially if it would help with weight gain.They both have pretty perfect teeth though, but ah..Raw sounds really great!

What's Roxy eating now? When we adopted Kaedyn, he was at a disgusting weight. We started feeding him a puppy formula instead of adult because of the extra calories. It worked really well (too well actually.. LOL).

A generic brand of Kibbles and Bits and Alpo...
We put her on more food though, because she wasnt eating enough, and she looked like we had starved her, but of course we didnt.
But at this exact moment her dry is Dog Chow, because it was on sale.

RAW feeder here! I do a prey-model diet because it is what is natural. The majority of premade diets (and alot of homemade diets) have too much bone. Rabbits are only 10% bone --- a chicken thigh alone is 15% bone. Alot of premade and homemade diets also have too much vegetable. In the wild, dogs do not eat alot of vegetable matter. Only the stomach contents of the smaller animals are consumed -- the larger animals' stomach contents are shaken out and are not eaten. The taste is bitter, wolves do not like it. So I only feed veggies every couple of days, and not very much. I feed several different kinds of meat and organs. I do not feed vitamin supplements, as I feel they are not needed.

I feel that people make RAW more complicated than it really is. I just think about what happens in the wild and take it from there. I don't measure or weigh. I just feed more or less depending on what Visa's weight looks like. I don't do percentages or things like that. I just make the meal mostly meat, with organs and some bone, and sometimes vegetable or fruit matter. It doesn't matter if the meal isn't nutritionally balanced -- as long as there is variety in every meal, there will be enough nutrition.

Since being on a raw diet, Visa has gained weight, her breath doesn't smell, her coat is shinier, she has more energy, her behaviour has improved, she is more relaxed in stressful situations, she sleeps better, etc. Her teeth haven't improved much, but she doesn't do alot of recreational chewing. I love RAW, I'll do it forever.
