sometimes Jessie doesn't want to eat organs.
They love everything!!! I think Jessie likes necks very much. My other dog will go for the organs first.
Most unusual thing I fed I guess is just ostrich.
They started raw at just under 1 year old.
My other dogs GI issues improved 100% and Jessie's appeitite has improved the most since she hated eating kibble. | | | | |

Copper is the only pup in the pack that will eat fish (I call him my little sushi chef ) Precious doesn't like kidney but I can always trick her into eating it.
What does your dog love to eat the most?
Pork ribs! Those are everyone's favorite.
What is the most unusual thing you ever fed (like kangaroo, brains, etc)
Currently the strangest thing I have fed is Pork Testicles, but next week I plan on feeding some pork brains
How old was your dog when you started a raw food diet?
Scout, Precious, and Gracie were 3 (they are now 4). Hunter was about 10 months old (He is now 14 months). And Copper and Bailey were about 12 weeks old.
What condition or problem has improved the most since your dog has been eating raw?
Whiter teeth, Gracie is not nearly as itchy as she used to be, better coats, better ears, etc (all the typical improvements). The best has been that Precious, who was a very plump 63 lbs when we started, is now down to a muscular 57 lbs. | | | | |

He will not eat turkey (not him, not my cat, and not my ferrets). Which REALLY sucks this time of year when I can get all kinds of turkey for super cheap!
What does your dog love to eat the most?
Beef, pork, any red meat. If its cooked, he goes bonkers for it.
What is the most unusual thing you ever fed (like kangaroo, brains, etc)
Guinea pig and anoles (lizards)
How old was your dog when you started a raw food diet?
9 weeks old
What condition or problem has improved the most since your dog has been eating raw?
He's been eating it his whole life. I've never known how he'd be on any other food. The only thing I can think of is his poops are smaller and don't stink like they did the first few days we brought him home (he was eating kibble before we got him). | | | | |

Tucker, CGC,- TDI
Meat ... it's- what's for- dinner!
|
| | Barked: Thu Nov 5, '09 8:52pm PST | | | | | | Does your dog refuse to eat something (liver, fish, chicken, etc)?
So far, no. I really think it has a lot to do with the fact that they've both been on a rotation diet since I got them, Tucker at ten months, Phoebe at six months - Tucker is now six years old and Phoebe is two years old. I've always subscribed to the theory that a healthy dog will eventually eat, so I never fell into the trap of only serving them what they wanted to eat. Of course, with raw, they're pretty darn excited to eat whatever is on the menu.
What does your dog love to eat the most?
They haven't had too much variety - beef, chicken, turkey, pork, eggs, and some sardines. And organs of course. I'm hoping to work some more interesting fare into the menu here soon. So far I'd say Tucker's fave is beef ribs and Phoebe favors chicken drumsticks.
What is the most unusual thing you ever fed (like kangaroo, brains, etc)
Well, it wasn't raw, but for sheer novelty, I think that honor has to go to the Addiction Summer Brushtail & Vegetables dehydrated raw. The dogs used to get it for breakfast occasionally in place of their kibble.
How old was your dog when you started a raw food diet? Tucker has been eating some raw (RMBs and commercially prepared raw) since I got him at ten months old. Phoebe - same thing, except she came home at six months.
What condition or problem has improved the most since your dog has been eating raw? Well, I can already see a positive difference in their teeth. Tucker's coat is softer, and Phoebe looks and feels more cut. The amazing thing is - by almost any other standards, the diet they were getting before was top notch. Premium kibble with toppers or dehydrated raw for breakfast, NV raw medallions (or Bravo) for dinner, RMBs a few times per week. I mean it's not like they were on some horrendous food previously. But still, the differences, while maybe not quite so dramatic as those a dog coming off grocery store kibble would experience, are still pretty incredible to me. | | | | |

Pork brains.

Mia hates organs other than beef sweetbreads. Luckily she will eat a ground organ mix that I get from a local raw feeding store. Lily will eat anything and everything.
What does your dog love to eat the most?
Lily loves red meat more than poultry. Mia's favorite is probably lamb.
What is the most unusual thing you ever fed (like kangaroo, brains, etc)
Emu. Duck heads are also a common meal. They've had almost every organ...except lung, unfortunately. I can't find any for the life of me.
How old was your dog when you started a raw food diet?
Mia started 3 days after her first birthday and Lily was 11 weeks old. We started Lily right after we found her, though she did eat Ziwi Peak for a day or two.
What condition or problem has improved the most since your dog has been eating raw?
Mia - Just overall healthiness. She's never had any medical problems or conditions or anything, luckily!
Lily - We have no idea since she was switched as soon as we got her! She was in pretty bad shape at first though...infested with fleas, worms, staph infection, demodex, etc. We still have issues with staph infections but her demodex seems to be cleared up for now! | | | | |

Not so far. He did not eat that chicken thigh last winter until Sassy wandered too close though.
What does your dog love to eat the most?
He is very fond of ostrich trim and organs but it is hard to say!
What is the most unusual thing you ever fed (like kangaroo, brains, etc)
Got to be still born lamb.
How old was your dog when you started a raw food diet?
Just about 7 years old.
What condition or problem has improved the most since your dog has been eating raw?
He is just better. Ears, teeth, eyes are slightly cleaner than before but they weren't very dirty before. Fur is much longer and much shinier but I am still fighting the neuter fuzz coat he is afflicted with. He seems a bit more sensible than before. He is a bit stronger, now he can sit pretty and jump off his rear end not using his front end. And very proud of it too. | | | | |
