My female, who is 12 years old, is having difficulty with the raw food. Her eating habits were always on the low side and seemed to pick up when being fed tripe, but now she is more picky.I would like to start the honest kitchen for her.

Hi Cindy,

I have three German Shepard which I feed raw diet to and veggies and supplements. Recently I was feeling that my female who is 12 years old is having difficulty with the raw food. She recently had surgery for mammary cancer and is on an Chinese herbal supplementation for it and doing remarkably well. Her eating habits were always on the low side (sometimes eating once every 2 days) and seemed to pick up when being fed tripe, but now she is more picky. If I feed her cooked meats - she tends to get diarrhea but her appetite is much better.

I would like to start the honest kitchen for her - because I think it would be a little easier for her to digest. My question to you is - should I put her on a senior diet - or because she eats 1/3 of what she should I put her on a more caloric diet?

Thanks for your help.

Valerie
