Patience is Key

     We are now a month into raw and Voda is thriving! All of her sores are healed and her joints don't crack like they used to when she would stand up. She loves feeding time so much that it's a treat for myself to feed her every day. I think I get just as excited as she does when I open up the refrigerator!
   
Chicken and beef meal--any more beef than this and you better have your gas mask at hand!

     I have been trying to introduce a new meat(beef) into her diet for the past two weeks. But so far all that I am achieving are farts that CAN and WILL clear and room and runny poops. Not exactly what I had in mind. So it's back to the drawing board. **Lot's of chicken and just a hint of beef** This, in my opinion, is where some new to raw owners would throw in the towel. It can be very hard to figure out what your dog needs. Some dogs need more bone than others. Others may have more of a sensitive stomach. Please people do not give up on your furry buddies. They are only with us for a short while and deserve the best out of life while they are with us.
     Whenever your pup starts showing signs that something is off, i.e. runny poo, cannon butt, low energy....( anything out the the norm)...The best advice I can give you is to start over. This is what baselines are for; start with something simple and that grow from that point.

****If you pup is showing signs of distress please take them to your regular vet or animal clinic. And remember the 4B's for feeding: Beige, Bland, Boneless, Boring. In Layman's terms chicken or fish filets****
