TiffanyGriffin Webboard User Reg: 12-20-2006 Posts: 61 Loc: Bedford, NH Offline	I've done a search, but can't seem to find any topics through the search option. I'm probably just doing it wrong. I feed kibble now (canidae), and use to feed my mix raw when he was younger. Due to the lack of storage space I've stopped feeding it. I hope to switch back over in the near future. I know I always read a lot about fasting a dog before switching it from kibble to raw. But is it OK to feed raw a couple of times a week? I'd like to be able to give them something with some bone for them to chew on to satisfy that natural need they seem to have, and marrow bones don't keep their interest much. Any ideas on if it would be ok or would it just mess with their systems?

If the dog doesn't have a sensitive digestion that rebels with a switch between kibble and fresh food, I think that adding fresh food to the diet is a good thing. JMO! I would feed the two types of food at separate meals, though.

I feed them twice a day and figured I'd substitute one meal every couple of days or so with fresh. I do add things into their food usually, but just a little bit. Not recently as our kitchen is torn up and I've been living on fast food for a month blech.
