1. Different types of meat

Hello,
I'm new to this list and have been feeding raw since januari of this
year. Since starting I've been experimenting with different type's of
meat.
In the case of my 2 dogs (american staffordshire terriers) I've found
that when they get goat....they reek, I really mean smell, from their
mouth to their stool.
Is that normal?? And does that occur more often? Fish hasen't been a
problem in that area, aside from a fishhy smell, just the meat.
I find they respond really well to chicken, lamb, cow, duck and
turkey, so I was just curious to how other dogs respond to different
meats.

Secondly, I've got 2 cats, whom I want to switch over also.... What's
best to start with? I have some baby chickens (not sure of English
word, lol) frozen, which they do seem to like, but they just refuse
to eat the chicken I left out for them.
HELP.... I really want them off kibble, but they aren't coöperating :(
Thanks in advance for the tips

Diarhea too, so maybe the whole chicken has too much bone for your
size dogs. I had that problem when I started feeding chicken backs
only. They didn't have enough meat. If what everyone else hasn't
helped, try adding some chicken without bone, only meat, for a meal
or two, and see if that firms up things.

Hi,

I'm new to this mailing list, but i thought too much bone in the diet
did the opposite??
When I feed more bone I find that my dogs really have to push :P out
their droppings.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

Been feeding raw since januari 2007 (a newbe, but never kibble again!)

that's why we feed and recommend bones they can consume fairly
easily (not that take hours, days, or months to gnaw away at), and
big, awkward/complicated animal parts they can dig into and work on,
etc. It IS satisfying for them, and good for dental hygiene.

Does that make sense?
===> sure it makes sense. I just don't see the objection to letting them
chew on the big bones that make them so happy.

Btw, how did your dog get 5 abcessed teeth?

===> I don't know, and neither did the vet. How does anyone get abscesses?
It might have been because he was on a kibble diet at the time, which
likely affected his mouth's PH as much as his digestive system's.
