Jasmine Dillon Webboard User Reg: 04-24-2009 Posts: 289 Loc: Colorado Offline	Welp, here goes nothing! After lots of thought, feedback from forum members (which I'm very grateful for!), research, and divine timing in finding a real-life mentor I'm going raw. I will begin switching Keiko over in a couple of weeks which I'm quite excited about! I thought I might update since I've asked for input regarding this decision a few times now. I'm sure many more questions are to come! (As well as some stool watching and potential photo-taking? Those seem to be socially acceptable pastimes amongst Leerburgers...finally, a place where I fit in! )

LOL.

Congrats. And ask any question. There are a ton of experienced people that love to answer. And for the rest of us, we love to read them all.

It is a real thrill to hear your dog crunching bones and really enjoying his dinner instead of just wolfing down some dried kibble!

Jasmine Dillon Webboard User Reg: 04-24-2009 Posts: 289 Loc: Colorado Offline	Haha! I sure hope I don't get that question...I see myself rambling aimlessly in response. Well I thought I would be starting raw in a couple of weeks but it looks like I'm starting tonight! I'm starting with something premixed (I went and watched how it was made today) and left with a five pound chub in hand. I'll be substituting kibble dinner tonight with 1/4 a portion of what she will eventually be eating in one sitting. I will also give her about a half a cup of yogurt to go along with the food - does this sound OK?

Connie Sutherland Moderator Reg: 07-13-2005 Posts: 31571 Loc: North-Central coast of California Offline	Sounds OK to me! Unflavored, unsweetened yogurt, right? 1/4 cup unless she has already been eating yogurt. What kind is the new food?

Jasmine Dillon Webboard User Reg: 04-24-2009 Posts: 289 Loc: Colorado Offline	Yep, unflavored, unsweetened. It is also a whole milk yogurt. Alright, I'll give just 1/4 cup. This particular chub is a chicken mix. It has some turkey hearts in it also.
