I've taken the plunge and starting my girls on the raw diet.

I've had loads of advice (thank you Helen and Joe) :thumbsup:

I've found a really good buthcher whos's giving me a fab deal on the grub

I also got a couple of bones for them to try and Dippy loved it and is still knoring at it now (she's had it almost an hour and half :teehee: ) Inca took a little persuading to have a lick but I took some of the marrow from the middle...needless to say she loved it after one little taste

Fingers crossed everything else will be enjoyed just as much... :thumbsup:

Strange arent they how some will take to anything and others need persuading, :luck: with your raw food.

 

[Trish]

good luck helen,let me know how it goes,is it more expensive than the food you was previously feeding.

 

[hellybobs]

I've yet to find that out...I'm waiting to see how long this lot lasts and then I'll have a better idea.

I've just had to chop it all up and its a right job :blink: but the next time the butcher said he'll be able to mince it for me.

I'll keep you informed :thumbsup:

Good luck with the feeding. I dont think its costs that much more really - and I personally think everyones dogs look great on it. :cheers:

My two love it. :thumbsup:

That doesn't sound good Keith... :x

Inca won't even eat it, so I don't know what effect it would have on her :x

She loves her chicken wings and sardines though (w00t)

There was a thread recently on comparative cost - started by someone called simon I think, I'll have a dig when I've got some free time and see if I can find it for you :thumbsup:

Personally I find it pretty inexpensive to feed raw, and the benefits are so visible. And I'm not just talking about the glossy coat and clean teeth :b :- " I had to feed the girls on packet food for a day when we moved house... omg, the stink and the size of the waste products :x give me their usual little dried chipolatas any day :thumbsup: :lol:

sorry... "far too much information!"

 

[~Helen~]

ooh look, here's the cost thread: simon's thread
