Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| I am thinking of switching to partially raw since I still have 2 15lbs bag of TOTW. Titus have always been picky in kibble and he lost weight the past two weeks because he doesn't really touch his food. In his last vet check two days ago, he went from 70lb to 60lb and his ribs are showing. I read some post on this forum and think that raw might be an option. I gave him some raw meat a couple of time when I'm cooking and he loves it.
My only concern is the bacteria in raw meat and will he get wild after eating raw. Is this a fact or myth? Will they be healthier? I have also check the Odin's Project website in which this man believe that raw is healthier and his dogs can live longer without the cancer etc. I have no experience whatsoever in feeding raw and I need desperate help here. How do I work my way around feeding raw? Can my 14 weeks old puppy have it as well? They are both on monthly flea and worm treatment, the Advocate as well as a once every 3 months tapeworm pill.
I have heard about the prey model and I've go through some really exciting raw dinner photos in this forum. I would really appreciate it if some experienced raw feeder can lend me a hand in this. |

| I'm no expert on RAW but I have done a fair bit of research into it.
To answer some of your questions:
No, your dog wont get blood thirsty after eating RAW, it's a complete myth. Yes, they will be healthier, their digestion will be more effecient, their joints benifit, their coats teeth, eyes. Everything beinifits from a RAW diet. A puppy can have RAW as soon as it iws weaned from it's mother. So yes, your 14 week old puppy can have it.
I only do partial raw feeding. Freya has dry food in the mornings and RAW at night, with RAW bones throughout the daty and at night before bed.
There are heaps of experienced RAW feeders here so I'm sure you'll get heaps of great advice. |

| Thanks, I went to the pet deli today to get some chicken necks for Titus as a usual treat and bought an extra kg of lean beef for the puppy Lycan. I left them and the things in the car and went to the grocery store for 10 minutes. Came back, the kg of lean beef is gone and Titus is guarding his bag of chicken necks at a corner. Apparently the little one managed to pull the food out from under the chair and dive happily into it. Titus is afraid Lycan might get his chicken necks so he took it and hide it in the back seat. |

| Freya is nearly 16 weeks, she goes through chicken necks in about 1 minute. They are good as a treat, but thats about it lol. On hot days I give them to her frozen. |
