Re: [rawfeeding] Proteins for dogs just starting on raw

Thanks for your response!

I'm not looking for a miracle cure, but since I'm still really new to raw I don't quite know what to expect. I had a shepherd that took two months to "detox" from a crappy kibble to a good kibble (oxymoron?) and his symptoms were similar to what my lab is going through (sporadic random flare-ups).

My Lab has been through a LOT, I just want to do what's right for her without throwing too much at her too quickly. I'm having trouble finding solid numbers on how long I should try a protein before adding a new one (for a sensitive dog), or when I should start adding organs and in what quantity (again, for a sensitive dog)?

Knock on wood, we've been able to keep solid stools even with the addition of turkey necks, but I'm almost wondering if the lack of vitamins (ie organs) in the diet could be a problem? She's been on ground turkey and had 2 necks in a month's time.....that isn't exactly variety. I'm worried about trying salmon oil because we're really trying to keep to turkey to find out if we're dealing with a food or airborne allergen. Can salmon oil be an allergen or is it generally well tolerated by most?
