[rawfeeding] Update on our one month progress on a raw diet

Hello everyone. This post is sort of long but it's because we are so happy with the results we are seeing with our dogs. We have two English Bulldogs, a female and male, and they weigh 56 and 58 pounds, in that order. We have had them on a raw diet for approximately one month and the changes we have noticed have been remarkable. Their coats are so much softer. It reminds us of puppy fur. It is much more luxurious to the touch. We want to pet and rub and massage them even more now and somehow they don't object to it at all. It amounts to extra attention and what dog doesn't like that? We've also noticed that they are much happier and more playful. They play tug-of-war with each other, something they didn't do in the past. They appear to have a lot more energy. They used to sleep all the time and we thought that's what bulldogs do. Five minutes of activity and it was nap time. Now, they want to go for walkies. Our male has hip dysplasia. It was always painful for him to go
for a walk. He would walk very slowly and deliberately. After a short distance, maybe 50 yards or so, we come back home and it's time for a nap. We really don't know, nor can we appreciate the amount of pain he was in just to do that small amount of activity. He also had a cyst on his inner thigh that would grow and the vet would have to drain it almost monthly. After a short romp in the doggie pool or chasing a few soap bubbles in the backyard, he was in pain and limping for a day. Our hearts went out to him, but you have to allow him to be a dog and do doggie stuff, right? We didn't feel we were being cruel but we still felt responsible for his pain. Well, no more of that. Now, he walks better and faster. The cyst has disappeared completely. Needless to say, we are so pleased thus far and we are very grateful to learn about this diet. And we thank all of you who post here because we are learning so much good information from all of you. We are continuing to read and
absorb and learn more every day and we just wanted to express our joy with the amazing results we've experienced. We apologize if you have to convert our "yards" to meters and "pounds" to kilograms. All of you out there please have an excellent day.
