How was your dog's health while on kibble? Did you see any problems with allergies (please be specific as to what kind)? How was his/her dental health?
Happys coat was practlcly gray, she was constantly sick, had horrable gas etc.. she was about 8 months at the switch so dental health wasnt bad. Shadow was throwing up every single day, he coat was gray, her teeth were yellow. she was so arthritic she could barly stand, and at 4 years old the vet reccomended we have to PTS.

How long have you been feeding a raw diet?

going on 7 years

What were the immediate changes you noticed after the switch? (ie. cleaner teeth, cleaner coat, less odor.)
Happys problems all disapeared on the spot, her coat was suddenly so rich and black that she made other black dogs look gray next to her, she is goin on 7 years old and hasent been sick since. Shadow took a little bit longer, but she is currently 11 years old, absolutly NO signs of arthritis, hasnt thrown up since, and bounces off the walls with energy.

How many dogs are you currently feeding a raw diet to?
7


Are you feeding exclusively kibble to any other dogs? If so, what is the reasoning behind the different diets for different dogs?
nope


How is your dog's overall health? Please note anything that has not improved since the switch. Please only answer this question if you have been feeding raw for more than three months, as it often can take this long or longer for some previous problems to subside.
all of my dogs are in outstanding condition. our Vet said they are the healthiest dogs she has ever seen, their coats gleam, they have rippling muscles, sparkling white teeth, and everyone thinks they are puppies. when kennel cough goes around, other dogs are coughing for weeks, the absolute LONGEST KC has ever lasted in my dogs is 3 days. even my 8 year old, the differnce is obvious, she preformed a group freestyle ruetine wth other dogs her age, while the others had a hard time getting through it all, Perky was leaping through the air, seemingly a young puppy in a group of seniors.



What made you make the switch? Please state if the reasoning had any involvement with the pet food recall.
Happys issues mostly, she was always so sick and her coat was gross, her breeder told us to feed her broth and overcooked white rice till her tummy was feeling better, and while she was eating that we researched Raw. we made the switch straight from the rice and broth.

How did you first hear about raw food?
just random internet research


Do you share the information about raw food with others, and are you an advocate of this diet for those who are interested in it? How do people typically react when you tell them you feed your dog a raw diet?
absolutly, I reccomend it whenever possable. reasctions to it vary, I have had everything from genuine interest, to "wont they develop bloodlust?" to "WHY?" lol



Please note anything else that may be of great interest.
