Re: Who’s feeding raw food?
Raw and dry food are digested at different rates in the stomach and at a different Ph. Do not mix them and feed at the same time. Alternate them and make sure you have an hour or so between raw and dry. this advice comes from 2 different vets with much experience feeding raw.
I get pre mixed raw from Surrey Meat Packers. Their brand is called Crudo. It is by far the best commercial premixed raw available in BC, and it is priced nicely... not like these boutique fancy overpriced packaged raw foods that the soy latte sipping crowd fawns over.
I have tried others as well - straight from butcher shops, as well as this new place called Simply Raw... Most butchers just give you meat - and every one I have tried has way too much fat mixed in - no offal, no bone meal, and usually no veg. Simply Raw cuts theirs with way too much water so that it is easy for them to form and cut into pucks. When you thaw it out, 30% drains off - water... their salmon is the most God awful smelling crap I have ever tried... I swear they collect rotten Chum carcasses for the food.
Good luck feeding your pooch. Raw is the way to go. it is what nature intended. I do augment with dry kibbles as treats and as a snack in order to provide some variety and additional minerals/vitamins. The Kirkland brand from Costco is actually very highly regarded and it is very economically priced.
