A Few Questions on Feeding Raw.

[Roxyluvsme13]

I'll make you an "everything you need to know about raw" info packet and send it to you

That'll work xD. If you seriously want to I'll PM you my addy!
I can't make a powerpoint as I don't have the program on the computer. Is it available for download anywhere?

Yeah I could! I'm making little booklets for friends of mine who are interested but not totally comfortable with it. I probably won't have it done for a couple more weeks, but yeah, I could definetly send you one, even if you've already convinced your mom by then

I think that site will allow you test it. If not then I'm sorry.

Okay, thanks. I forgot to say that I just cleaned out the freezer, so my mom can't say we don't have room now. Half of the freezer is empty ;D.

Ooh, do any of you have pictures of before and after of your dog's teeth? I just remembered I can make a slideshow with WMM.

Well I didn't take any before pictures, but I might be able to find some of them while they were on kibble and were panting or something. I took some teeth pictures back in March I think, and I can take some more to see if their teeth have gotten any better. Nova's are perfectly white and Mandy had a dental in October, so their teeth aren't going to be very different. But Luka had some nasty teeth for a two year old.

There are also some photos across the internet, maybe I can find some for you to use. If you're only using them to show your mom then I wouldn't worry about asking to use them, but if you're going to be posting it on the internet or something then I would ask the image owners first.

I'd only be using them to show my mom. If you can find any that would be great.

I got some pictures from here. It shows that the food doesn't look gross, and that the dogs enjoy it. There was one picture of Nanook that showed his teeth.

[Roxyluvsme13]

Thanks! Good Luck in convinvcing your parents ;D

[Roxyluvsme13]

Okay, double posting, sorry x__x. Buttt.. I'm starting it now, and the song's a bit weird.. but it fits the mood! I've gathered up lots of pictures of dogs, of the food, of good teeth, bad teeth, and I'm going to use the info from this thread.. I hope it knocks some sense into her! xD

Briana/Monica - Feel free to use pictures of The Muttlies. I have a few here of their first raw meal (Trout & veggie/fruit puree)

And Simba's most recent picture thread has a photo of him chewing a chicken leg.

Thank you, Kay! My movie's already saving though >__> I'm going to go show it to my mom in a few minutes..

[Roxyluvsme13]

Well, it's no, because my mom's a lazy @$$ b****. Sorry, but I'm uber mad at her right now.
We can't feed Raw because she can't eat meat. YEAH she can. She just said she didn't want to have to cook double so she could eat meat. She said no meat in the freezer if she can't eat it, and the dogs don't deserve to eat better than us. Oh gee, apparently she doesn't care about them. Of course she doesn't. Roxy lives on a frikkin chain 24/7, her teeth are horrible, she's on low quality **** kibble. Apparently she doesn't care much about Lily either, since Lily's teeth are just starting to get bad. GOD, I hate her so much right now.

Brianna,

I understand where you're coming from but at the same time I understand where your mother is coming from. It is very hard to make ends meet now-a-days and I do remember reading posts about lack of financials in your household. Maybe instead of feeding RAW, ask your mother to upgrade their food to a better kibble, and that you will pay the difference in the kibble you buy now.


I don't know.. just throwing out ideas that you've probably already tried, I'm sure. I do know it's very hard on boths sides as I've been there. Maybe when you're older and get a job/income your mother will allow/help feed raw.
