hi Joyce, as owner of "many chi's" you can teach me everything as I'm on my very first one!!! ... wow are they ever hard headed!! lol...but as for raw feeding i have been feeding raw to my danes for over a year now ... did all the research... its NOT HARD AT ALL !! AND after you get going is way less money than a mid-range kibble.. not to mention those $50. for 35lbs kibbles... the truth about kibbles is most, especially low end, are made from CORN AND grains. DOGS ARE CARNIVORES.... WE HAVE BEEN DUPED ALL THERE YEARS WITH GREAT ADVERTISING!!..... after seeing how very simple and basic raw feeding really is ill never go back ..what a difference in my dogs omg!.my oldest is "silly goose" a harl great dane... who was just turning 5 when i switched to raw. ... her teeth went from yellow caked on years of kibble (which being made from corn is all sugar) to a 6month new puppy looking bright white... which it remains today ... this took a few months to occur but it DID occur. her yeasty ears cleared up over night with no other help, her excessive shedding gone, her spayed looking fat lumpy body G O N E . she remains energetic, slimmer, shinny, bright white teeth..... mind you the out side of a dog (and person) is only a tiny reflection of whats really going on , on the inside.... anyone interested in what a weekly feeding looks like ill gladly share... its with out a doubt easy and the very best we can do for dogs ... my youngest raw feeder is my 8 week old chihuahua... now 10 weeks old. and strong and "regular and firm" as can be. which is great given she was pooing water when i got her... darcy

To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, July 29, 2010, 8:36 AM It's quite complicated actually as there are certain things you have to add to the RAW diet to keep them balanced..My suggestion if you want to feed a food like that would be go with an all natural or holistic dry food..I have used taste of the wild and several of the Wellness brands it's pricey but in the long run..So is feeding the RAW diet...Now I do cook for mine more so in winter months or if one isn't putting the weight the on..I like to keep the satin (fat) balls on hand for those as well..I agree do lot's of research on the B.A.R.F diet as it is called...

If it's better for the dogs...then I am all for it. I have a 9 week old chi. I have finally got her off of wet food. My vet recommended Purina one puppy chow for dry. That's what I have been feeding her. I have started to do research on dog food. None of it sounds to healthy. So, I thought I'd ask about raw feeding. Thank you so much for any information.
