I need help on starting my dogs on a raw diet.
Full Question:
Hello Cindy,I just ordered several items from Leerburg and now I've decided to get your raw diet foods. My 4 yr. old German Shepherd just had a scary attack of bloat symptoms which stopped after I gave her Mylanta Gas and she ate a lot of grass. She is on "Life's Abundance" dry kibble-all my five dogs and 3 cats - can you add the food to my order? If you could guide me to get started (I read the site but not sure which to go with) I would give them raw meat and vegetables, yogurt like I do now in addition. Well, the raw meat I'm not sure of how much, what kind? I do cooked now. Any help would be appreciated. I have 2 Shepherds-70lbs. 1 yrs old, 4 yr. old, 3 little dogs under 10 lbs. - 3 cats 10 lbs.
Thanks,
Annette
Cindy's Answer:
I will have one of the office staff call to find out which formula you want to add to your order.
I would probably recommend Force or Embark as they are the grain free varieties. I have had good results with both of those.
If you use the dehydrated foods, you don’t need to add veggies, there are plenty of those in there already.
If you read the FAQ section on Honest Kitchen, and the web pages about feeding dogs on our site you will find the answers you are looking for.
Read this article on feeding a raw diet http://leerburg.com/feedingarawdiet.htm. It’s a work in progress but there is a lot of good information there.
I would also recommend these books, Natural Nutrition for Dogs & Cats and Raw Dog Food.
You can also go to our Feeding Dogs Page for a list of articles and books that will be helpful to you.
I hope this helps!
