A Few Questions on Feeding Raw.

[Roxyluvsme13]

Hmmm ... you could get either two 10 lb bags of quarters, or 5 whole chickens (at about 3-4 lbs each).

By the way, dogs tend to puke and get diarreah at the most inopportune times, like in the middle of the night. So if she sleeps with you, your mom would never even have to know. If Lily is vomiting (and I mean once a night, not multiple times a night), just clean it up and keep it a secret

I doubt we'll even buy it tomorrow, but maybe I can get an allowance advance and buy some stuff for them ^^ If I bought all that would that last a whole week? Oh yeah, when preparing.. am I going to have to weigh everything.. because we don't have a scale. And, do you recommend adding anything in with the meat the first time?

Briana, you are so lucky you get to try it! I'll ask my parents again. I don't want to be pushy and get annoying.

It should last at least a week, probably more. I'm really just guessing here. I don't know how much they'd need, and I don't feel like doing all the math to figure it out and then figure out how much that'd be in a week

No need to weigh it. Just guess. If your dogs start to look fat, cut them down, if they are thin, increase it. By the way, a chicken quarter usually weighs around a pound. A half a 3-4 lb chicken obviously weighs 1.5-2 lbs If you bought whole chickens I would probably cut them in half and feed one half to Roxy and cut the other half in Lily-sized portions. Do it however is easiest for you, it doesn't matter really. If the chickens come with organs, put them in the freezer until you are safe to introduce them into their diet. Don't add anything to the meat, it would be too much for them to handle right now. Just use the chicken until their stools are firm, then add another protein source, and another, until all main sources are added. Once you've done that, you can add other things like veggies and organs. The reasoning for this is to slowly move them into the diet. Plus, if you are feeding two or more things at a time and there is a problem, then how do you know which meat caused it?

Well, Roxy needs 28 ounces, about 1 and 3/4 pounds, but I may just do 1 and a half.. Lily needs 1/4 of a pound. Okay, Chicken only. Roxy really needs to put on some weight, and I'm so worried about her teeth right now it's driving me nuts.. I'm going to supervise while they eat, too.. Probably feed Lily before Roxy, since I'll have to stand outside with Rox.

Aww, Monica! Maybe they'll give in. I hope my mom sees the differences in the dogs and lets us continue the diet.

Oh, and Sarah, is it okay if I still leave Lily's kibble out for her all day?

I'm uploading my presentation to Youtube.. I'll delete it as soon as you guys see it, since I dont want anybody to get mad at me using their pics..o__O.

Hm. If you want to decrease Lily's chances of getting an upset tummy, you should either feed her completely seperate (raw in the morning, kibble at night) or just feed raw alone. Mixing raw with kibble is more likely to cause an upset, and raw digests much faster than kibble.
