    I tried it, but I keep getting diarrhea. Not sure why it's so popular.
    When in doubt, just pin it.

    We've fed our Tollers Raw for the past 16 years.
    Our youngest one has been having some GI problems recently so she's off raw until we sort it out. Looks like Giardia but waiting for confirmation.
    Started out with make your own, now usually buy premade stuff from various manufacturers.
    Check the stuff to make sure the contents and nutritional breakdown are listed.
    Every now and then we'll buy a few chicken backs with necks for a meal.
    Bones a couple of times a week for teeth and "recreation."
    Research it, talk to your Vet and go from there.
    Our dogs have done well on Raw - our first Toller passed away 2 months shy of 16 which is pretty old for a Toller.

    Best price/quality in the LML...



    Some raw dog food suppliers were taking the opportunity to off-load their waste meat and get $$ for fat they would be discarding... way too much fat in the mix I was getting from both Hopcott's and from Millennium Meat.

    It's not meant for you... try feeding it to your dog.

    Re: Raw Food Diet

    I feed raw food to my dog. He grew up on it for 2 years, then I switched him to kibble for about 5 years and now he is back on raw again.
    He never saw kibble as food.
    There are also different kinds of raw food.
    Dogs are omnivores and need other things than meat in their diet.
    I buy food from a butcher who grind meat, veggies and bone and make burger patties.

    It's normal for dogs to have the runs when they are switched from kibble for a few days.
    It stabilizes afterwards.
