Joey Joey Bruno     Barked: Tue Oct 23, '12 9:19am PST  They both loved the fish. They may have loved it regardless since this is the first they have gotten of a whole fish. I usually give sardines. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Joey Joey Bruno     Barked: Sat Oct 20, '12 10:09am PST  Ah didn't think of that, thanks. Does it matter much that these were fresh from a fishing trip and not from the grocery store? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Raw Food Diet > wanting to start my 1 year old bullmastiff on raw diet

Joey Joey Bruno     Barked: Sat Oct 20, '12 7:10am PST  Chicken leg quarters works well to start with for bony pieces, takes my bigger dog longer to eat vs. smaller pieces. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Raw Food Diet > Transitioning to ratio

Joey Joey Bruno     Barked: Fri Oct 19, '12 7:37pm PST  Thanks! Makes total sense. I got a great deal on frozen while tilapia today. If I feed fish once a week or so on average no need to supplement omegas right? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Raw Food Diet > Transitioning to ratio

Joey Joey Bruno     Barked: Fri Oct 19, '12 1:55pm PST  Joey has been introduced to most proteins (chicken, turkey, pork, fish, beef)and still doing fine, so after a few more days of beef and then introducing organs I would like to start tranisitioning to the 80/10/5/5 ratio. I really like schedules and would like to have one I can use with a variety of meats trying to keep 50% red meat. This is what I have come up with so far, any suggestions/concerns? Joey (168 oz) 57-60 lb Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday (add egg 1-2 x week) AM: 1 leg quarter (16 oz) PM: 8 oz red boneless meat Monday and Friday AM: 4 oz liver plus 8 oz ground or boneless meat PM: 12 oz red boneless meat Wed and Saturday AM: 4 oz other organ plus 8 oz red boneless meat PM: 12 oz fish or other my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Joey Joey Bruno     Barked: Mon Oct 15, '12 1:12pm PST  In three weeks I will be gone for ten days and a friend will be dogsitting. I am pretty new to the raw diet for both my boys (3 weeks in). I am wondering what all of you experienced raw feeders do when you go on vacation? I was thinking of weighing everything out and putting it in ziploc bags with the days for a label. Any ideas/suggestions? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Raw Food Diet > What next?

Joey Joey Bruno     Barked: Tue Oct 9, '12 5:23pm PST  Yes they have both had sardines un the past and love them. Luckily no picky eaters here so far! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Raw Food Diet > What next?

Joey Joey Bruno     Barked: Tue Oct 9, '12 2:00pm PST  Thanks! They have a good deal on pork shoulder ($1.19/lb) so I will try that this week slowly. My large dog needs 18 oz day for 2 % so I should probably stock up on that. I think a lot of their skin issues comes from outside so I am hoping it will get better this winter. Can I ask where most people get their organ meat excluding liver. I have been able to find plenty of liver but not much else. I was going to hit up some ethnic food markets this weekend.

Raw Food Diet > New discussion on raw (premade) diet and high alt

Joey Joey Bruno     Barked: Mon Oct 8, '12 12:51pm PST  I do not know about raw premade diet an association with high alt disease because I am new to this diet, but I was curious does your dog have any other symptoms? Were her other liver function tests normal (AST, ALKP, GGT)? I know that red meat is high in ammonia and not reommended in dog's with severe liver disease and seizures, and I have also seen articles regarding low purine diets in liver disease. I assume your Vet is doing more tests/labwork? I hope you find out the root of the problem! I would not want to change anything until more tests were run. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Joey Joey Bruno     Barked: Mon Oct 8, '12 10:11am PST  It has been a week now since my dogs have transitioned to raw food and so far so good. Thanks to this forum's tips I switched my bully to leg quarters from drumsticks, which is slowing him down and making me feel better about his chewing. For the past few days I have been feeding them their appropriate weight of leg quarters and two days ago I introduced chicken liver and they tolerated it well. When I took them on a walk yesterday I noticed their stools looked pretty much the same (soft but formed/what I would consider normal amount for both sizes). Does this mean I should continue on with he chicken quarters for awhile or go ahead and cut down to 10% bone? I was also wondering what would be the best protein to feed next? The main reason for me switching is their constant scratching/allergies. Will 2 weeks be enough time to see if this diet will help improve this? I will likely stick with raw either way because they love it so much, but want to figure out the cause of their allergies for sure.
