Yay!!! So glad Princess Nala is recovering well. My rescue puppy is
also bounding about the house, well-recovered thanks to Amber Tech and
their awesome natural remedies.

All the best,
Kerry (and Barney the rescued retriever)

you can make your own patties if that is what you want on hand, but the store bought stuff has things in it on the raw diet, our dogs on the prey model diet don't need, like fruits and veggies. But if that is what you want then fine, do that. I just like to know what is in my dogs food, and when I am making it, and giving it to him, I know. When I did the Barf diet, with all the stuff, in order to do it right, you MUST shred the veggies and fruit with a food grinder, not a blender, or the dogs won't get the nutrition from it any other way. So, it's alot of work, imho, and they really get all they need from the prey model way, so why do it any other way, I'm just saying.
And if it's patties you want for ease or emergancies, (don't know what you mean by emergancy) you can keep ground meat of any kind around. I always have something ground in the freezer when the stores have a sale of whatever under a $1. Yes, you learn to stock up on sales real fast. Ground meat is also good for when someone has a tooth removed and can't chew on the meat for a couple of days, so it is useful.

On the runs, stop the dry food, now. Go to meatier portions of chicken, not just backs and legs, there is too much bone to meat ratio there, and can still make the poos kind of runny. Remember, the bone is supposed to be only 10% of the diet, so meat is key. For that size of dog you can do a whole chicken, that way the meat to bone ratio is good, and the organs come with the chicken too, and they need organ meat once a week too. And the whole chicken does all that, and it's not expensive that way, you can usually get it for under a dollar a pound for young chickens everywhere. ( I do here in California) Cut the chicken into sections and give it to her in several meals, and let her have the organs on the last one. She will love it. On a two or three pound young chicken, that would be about four to eight meals depending on how big she is and how much she eats. And the egg is good for every other meal, unless she really loves it, but it doesn't
have to be a daily thing.
Also others here will add that fish oil is good, we prefer fish, so they get the whole thing, you can add that in after she is used to the diet and you are adding in new meats. ( just make sure she doesn't roll in it like mine do)
So, hope that helps, and congrats, on the new baby, sounds like you're doing great! I've had rotts before, but never a mini, good luck, I know you're loving her lots:)

I wonder how many wild dogs chocked on turkey necks. Just shows that there are risks in raw feeding. Our dogs love the necks, sadly for them they are now off the menu.

IMO not ordering more would be a good choice. However, if you like
feeding them and you feed safe feeding them, feed them. If though you
are feeding turkey necks for variety, other turkey parts will do just
fine and will probably be less tempting to swallow whole.

Agreed.

>It certainly is appropriate.

Can you please explain to Jennifer and me how you view this as
appropriate food for a baby carnivore? Where did you read that
dogs/puppies need veggies and oats and honey...?

KathyM who doesn't want to be argumentative, but who is concerned that
Kristina receive factual information from this list

Hi

I was wondering how many members have stopped inoculating their dogs.

We are all so careful about what we put into our beloved canines
tummies, what about the shots?
