How Do I Know Each Meal Is Balanced?

What Do You Feed Your Dogs? Can You Send Me Some Menu Plans?

It seems too complicated to feed a raw diet, I don?t have any free time to spend on this. How much time does it take each day to prepare the food?

I read somewhere on the internet that feeding a raw diet reduces vet bills? How does that work?

I have heard that raw is much more expensive than kibble, how much will it cost me to feed my dog this way?

What Should I Expect At First When Feeding A Raw Diet?

How do I make the switch from kibble to raw food?

I have heard that you should NEVER feed your dog chicken bones! One of the foundations of your feeding program is chicken! Aren?t you afraid your dogs will choke or the bones will splinter?

What is a recreational bone?

What is a RMB?

What about my new puppy? He was fed kibble at the breeder?s place. How do I switch him? I don?t want him to get sick.

I want to breed my female. Is it okay to feed a raw diet to pregnant dogs?

Is kibble actually bad for my dog? He seems really healthy.

Why should I switch my dog to a raw diet?

I am interested in feeding the BARF diet, what do I do first?

I have tried everything and finally gave up and put them back on fruits and cottage cheese which they loved and now refuse to eat that as well. Every morning and night it's a hassel t...
