[rawfeeding] Re: RAW Feeding Menu options and allergies - Help!

Oooh, Honey, have I got a recipe for you!!!!
But, first, return that prefab stuff, and get your money back! Ditto
for the kibble, and toss out whatever you have open in the house!
Now, with all that refund money, go to the grocery store, and buy
several whole chickens. Cut them in quarters and feed one quarter at
each meal. You feed two times a day, right?
Ta-Da! Now, how easy a menu/recipe is that? ; )
Seriously, most food intolerances are, I suspect, from all the cr*p
thats added to kibble, even the hypo, ID, KD, special-whatever-it-is
yuck. And yes, dogs can show intolerances to cooked forms of proteins
and not the raw form.
Make sure the chicken you buy isn't *enhanced* - no added water, salt,
flavorings or seasonings - these can cause allergy-like symptoms, too.
You can start off with a different protein, if you prefer, turkey,
rabbit, pork, lamb, beef - but feed only one protein for at least a
week, maybe two, until your dog has adjusted to it, then add another.
Let us know how you progress, and if Sarge is having any problems,
we'll help you figure out what to do next!
TC, and let us know what your name is. ; )
