my dog has that mucus wrapped poop a lot of the times. i figured that it
was from the body trying to detoxificating (is that a word? am i making
sense?) itself.

its been about a month or so now, maybe a little less, since our switch
to raw foods.

what does slippery elm bark do and where do you buy them? and can you
buy them from a petstore like petsmart? (petsmart's the closest to us,
but i'm willing to go to other stores, if my mom lets me....i'm only
15btw.)

2. stinky breath?

i give my dog raw meat and several times a week a part of a meat that
includes the bone.

my dog generally would eat the entire bone and meats, but since he has
long fur around his mouth, he gets some of the stench of raw meats
around there.

i first though that it was his breath, but its more of the "around the
mouth" (at least i think so.)

would brushing his teeth more often help? (i usually only do it once a
week, during when he's in the bath cause otherwise the toothpaste goes
everywhere around his white fur.)

or should i be just wiping it away with something? (i dont know if that
would get rid of the stench though..)

please help!

3. Questions? Pork bones? Coat?

I am feeding raw to 2 sibes-3 years and 4 months. The 3 year old has
a dry, brittle coat(normal thyroid)and am wondering if I should stop
chicken. Sibes get varied meat & fish diet (heavy on chicken), Salmon
oil in AM, Vit. E in PM, Seameal mineral and vitamin supplement in AM,
raw veggies in AM, couple raw eggs weekly and yogurt few times weekly.
Any help tweaking and improving would be wonderful. Next question
involves pork bones- I want to feed more pork, but so many seem just
so thick-I know about no pork chops, but what pork bones, if any, are
too big and can cause tooth damage in adults and growing puppies?
Thanks.
BJ
