[rawfeeding] Thanks for all the advise.

Thanks for all the advise. The specialist I'm seeing is a raw diet
prey model nutritionist. They recommended her for from the raw diet
semminar that I attended. But if it's not needed then I won't go, I
really just wanted to sit down with someone and talk about the proper
meal care for my 2 active dogs. This is a huge switch for me. My
mother even thinks I'm going over board, and she used to
professionally show and groom dogs. She thinks that the all nature
organic no soy, wheat or corn food that I'm feeding is just fine.
Plus I was suckered in once apon a time that Science Diet was the
best, and I use to highy recommend it. Now of course I don't, I
haven't feed it for years, but that was due to raising 7 guide dog
puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind, and they state that they've
done all these studies, and you would think they would want whats
best for their long term service dogs.
I just don't know how to really start my dogs, and on what. I know
that they need 2% of their weight, and 80% meat, 10% organ and 10%
bone. I understand the meat and organ part, but how do you even
attemp to measure out bone. Just give them whats in the meat and let
them have the whole bone or is that too much. The seminar suggested
to us 5% kidney and then 5% other organ too. Plus I'm not sure when
to even feed my dogs. They are on different schedules all the time.
and they get feed twice a day now. And they know when its their food
time, they remind me everyday. Cause aren't you suppost to feed
only once a day. And then let them have 2-3 hours rest. And how
long on average does it take for them to eat?
My Lab has agility practice Mon. Wed. Fri. Mornings and then flyball
Wed & Sun. nights. Plus we hike or go for a walk/jog every night
besides flyball nights. The Jack Russell is learning obedience right
now so she can behave at agility and flyball and I hope she will
start at least agility really soon. Plus she goes for a walk every
day/night too. So would the best time to feed the dogs be in the mid-
day do to their active schedules, and how long do they need to be
able to rest? Thanks for all the help. Just be prepared we have
tons more questions.
Thanks
Karen
