I agree that dogs (and humans as well) need a nutritious balanced diet to stay healthy but it takes time to get the right own to "fit" the dog.the teacher's petshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01196076588030535094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-619331237716459681.post-58444937303671170372012-07-10T03:06:23.451-07:002012-07-10T03:06:23.451-07:00BOL!

I'll try and help you, if you like.<br /><br />First - there was a post on feeding RAW with Kibble - that is really not advisable as RAW food takes different enzymes to break down then dry kibble - so you are 'taxing' the dogs digestive system by giving two different types of food.<br /><br />Second - when feeding a raw diet - it's not about tossing raw meats into a bowl for your pet - this homemade diet needs to have the proper amount of meats, fruits, veggies and supplements - such as a multi-vitamin, calcium, etc for a dog to have a complete and balanced meal. There are many books available on this.<br /><br />Third - there are excellent 'complete' raw diets available - we use K9 Kravings - which is a COMPLETE meal - that is something you would need to look for - the word Complete - there is Primal, Bravo, Stella & Chewy - just to name a few.<br /><br />Fourth - visit my Facebook group page called - <br />WESTIES HEALTH -- FROM EARS TO TAIL. There is a lot of info on diet, allergies as well as general health questions specific to westies but some questions/answers will be appropriate for any breed.<br /><br />Fifth - feeding a raw diet does take a little more effort in the proper handling of the food - such as using a metal bowl - handing this food is no different than handling raw ground beef, for example.<br /><br />If you send me an e-mail I can can send you a [word] document on dog food - it's 18 printed pages but it's a wealth of info all in one place.<br /><br />All the best - Katie<br />www.westiejulep.blogspot.comKatie, Julep and Derby's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13930507314586230323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-619331237716459681.post-9784183142041882962012-07-08T23:51:22.169-07:002012-07-08T23:51:22.169-07:00I'm sure that you really enjoyed it with your ...I'm sure that you really enjoyed it with your friends.

The doctor feeds her own healthy dog a thawed raw meat patty, and adds the dry Orijen with it. Although she believed in the raw diet, she thought it was a good idea to have the dog's system accoustomed to dry food in case she could not always give him raw (like when traveling, or other circumstances) <br /> I personally could not handle the raw food idea, and she thought the Orijens was a great alternative. She also added VEMMA liquid vitamin supplement to the mix for her own dog as additional antioxidants. She is an oncologist at OVRS with a special interest in complementary and holistic medicine. Dr. Bannink<br /> Another golden I know was switched to the fish diet as well, for skin allergies, and the change in his coat and condition was incredibly improved. <br /> Monty and Sam are very lucky to have such a caring and adoring family.

No problem since we stopped feeding her the "high quality" expensive food that turned out to be mostly grains!
