I haven’t blogged about my dogs’ diets in a long time. Last July… one year ago in fact, I started feeding them raw. I avoided reading about it for a long time, knowing that once I read all the info, and the bad things about kibble (low quality kibble especially) that I’d switch. Finally I read the info, and I switched the dogs.
Well, they are doing super on raw. They all love to eat, and I love feeding them fresh foods. After trying Prey Model raw, and BARF, and Volhard.. I’ve decided on a combination. We still follow Volhard, but mostly I put it together myself now instead of buying the dehydrated version that I get through the mail, and need bigger Mailboxes for! But all those supplements… are they really necessary, what do you think?
I found a local game processing plant that sells ground elk/buffalo mix for $0.69 a pound. They have been getting that with some chicken with bone. I might go buy some more chicken necks. I really think it’s odd to feed bone meal, why not feed the whole bone? Jen will probably come dispute me about this.
Anyway, feeding raw is great. It’s messy, it’s time consuming, but it’s so worth it!
