I bought the brand Mountain Dog Food.http://www.mountaindogfood.com/ Many places have it but we got it at Ryan's Pet Food here in Burlington. It was comparable to the kibble we were buying, but if you have lots of dogs, it would be expensive!!

How do you know how much of each ingriedient to give to get the right nutrition?

I would like to try raw with my guys, Pugsley is allergic to grains. But I am not sure of how to start, what ingridients to use, or how to prepare it.

Thanks!

diet, when I told my vet, they didnt say anything, but weren't very happy about it.  They can get salmonella, etc.  So I put them on California Natural Herring and sweet potato.  Their tear stains went away, their coats are beautiful, not bad breath, no licking, etc.  Ears are great.  Can't say enough about it their weights are good too.

It's widely known that dog's digestive tracts are shorter and therefore faster. They handle something like salmonella differently than humans.

7 years of raw and no issues here. And my vet not only approves, he feeds a raw diet as well.

i started 25 years ago with my rottweilers, as i brought my breeding stock from germany and these dogs could not handle all the grains in kibble.....
rule number one...keep it as simple as possible....but i find alot of people cheat and give treats that have grains.....no treats cook up some liver and beef hearts...and instruct the whole family these are the only treats allowed......also get some blue berries and strwberies dogs love these as treats....bannas are great treats also...i would add a teaspoon of yougurt a day not to much more....also add one cup a week of salmon(this should be fresh) this has incrediable omaga oils in it....
it took months for your problems so give it a good 6 months....i still have trouble with idc with wilson...but this from a contact allergy....but being on the raw his feet look great 99% of the time......

do detox. I have one girl that I feed raw (the others will follow :O).....she seemed to get worse before better, she even got tear stains and stains on her feet, I almost gave up but didn't. She has now been on raw for about two months and is doing well. You might want to change your meat source. Are you using probiotics with enzymes?

The symptoms can be worse depending on the quality of the food you were feeding prior to the switch. If you're serious about feeding raw (which I am a HUGE proponent of), you'll need to stick with it for AT LEAST a few more months to see any changes.

Has he eaten turkey before? Was it an ingredient in his previous diet? Usually, turkey or chicken are easy for people to start with when switching to a raw diet, since most dogs tolerate them well. However, there is always the possibility that he is allergic to turkey. You might have to try some different meats.

Good luck!

is the best. I love Dr. Marty Goldstein, I read his book "the nature of animal healing" and listen to his shows. There is a good section on allergies in the book. That's where I read about the whitefish.

Depending on how severe he is, you may want to do an allergy test (blood test) to see what you are dealing with.

Wow, it's so hard to figure this out. I do not know if he's allergic to bird. I thought that was the safest start though...

that he's not allergic to bird? My boy is bad with chicken. That would be my first thought. Maybe he'd do better on a different meat source? What was the main meat source of his kibble? I would def. wait a couple weeks to make sure it's not just a detox though.

I've never fed raw so no help really, just thinking out loud I guess. Good luck.
