Turkey for Everyone this Thanksgiving

     Well Voda is on day 12 of her Raw Diet. She's done very well so far. We had some potty issues the first few days which was to be expected.  But since then it's been smooth sailing *Thus far*. She loves loves LOVES supper time now. I believe she feels that it's her duty to let everyone in Hale Na Koa Village that it is time to eat. Such a diva, always having to bring the attention to her.

     One of the many things that has me singing my praises is the less time I have to spend picking up dog bombs. It really does take some getting use to not seeing your dog poop every day! It silently speak tons about how much crap is in kibble. My back yard used to look like a land mine with the amount of doggy mud pies there was out there, but now I literally have to hunt for them when I'm out wielding my pooper scooper.

Turkey Time

     So after a week and a half of eating chicken leg quarters, gizzards, and liver, I have decided to try Voda out on Turkey. I bought an 8.6lb turkey and just let her have her way with it. I did; however, take the bird away when I felt like she had consumed around about the 1.4lbs of meat she should be taking in each day. According to my math, this turkey should last her about six days. 8.6 / 1.4 = 6.14  I enjoyed watching her try to figure out how to sink her teeth into the turkey without using her paws. It's hilarious, I have such a nicey nasty puppy. She refuses to touch the raw meat with her feet. That's like trying to get ribs without using your hands, it's ain't pretty!

~Things to remember with introducing a different meat source~

• There are two ways of introducing new meats. (A.) You can strictly feed that one meat source until your pup's stomach can handle the new meat. (B.) You can slowing transition to the new meat by adding chunks of new meat to the existing meals that you were feeding prior to the new meat source. 
• Expect upset tummies, it's just like switching to a new dog food. Your dog's system has to become accustomed with the new meat. 
• Go slow. 
• Don't get aggravated 
• If one way of introducing new foods doesn't work, use another method. 
• When all else fails. Start over at the beginning and work slower toward your destination.
