Can I Feed My Dog Dry Food In The Morning And Raw Diet At Night?He is a 7 month old Beagle pup and my dog trainer really encourages feeding the Raw Diet. We bought some of his homemade food and fed it to my pup at night. He seemed to have liked it, but we are not sure whether to continue feeding him only that (it is also expensive). Would it be possible to feed him a high-quality dry food in the morning and Raw Diet at night for the rest of his life? Or do I eventually have to make a complete switch? [ Read More ]

Does A Raw Diet Prevent A Cat From Hunting?My cat is a great cat, but he brings all kinds of prey to the garage door and leaves it. Often times he has made an attempt to eat the prey, so by the time it gets to the door it's almost unrecognizeable and always gross. There have been pieces of birds, frogs, rabbits, and once even a hummingbird (according to a family member). Apparently he's quite good and prideful in his work. Maybe I just don't notice how much he eats, but he doesn't seem to interested in the dry food I have to offer. A friend told me that he has been feeding his dogs a Raw Diet with great success. There is a place near our area that sells Raw food for pets; chicken necks, thigh bones, that kind of thing. My friend says it's better for their coat, energy, and all around health. He doesn't, however, have any cats so he's not able to help me on whether this Diet would be good for my cat. What I wonder is, if I would begin a Raw Diet with my cat, would it maybe give him a better alternative to hunting? [ Read More ]

Is Anyone Familiar With 'healthy Powder' For Cats As Part Of A Raw Food Diet?I am planning to switch my cats to a Raw food diet. one of my cats has severe allergies (32 of them to be exact). I have done some extensive reading about the Raw Diet and it says to add healthy power to each meal. There are many ingredients in this mixture, one of which is yeast. My cat is allergic to yeast so I cannot include this in the mixture. Is there something else I can use that has the same nutritional value? Or is it ok to simply omit it from the recipe without causing any kind of nutritional deficiency? [ Read More ]

How Long Before You Physically See Results Of Raw Diet In Cat?My cat will not gnaw on bones, so I have to grind them - pity! I am working on having him eat whole prey, but he's slow to budge.

What Human Food Can I Put In A Raw Diet For A Puppy/dog? Any Experience? Is The Raw Diet Better?I'm getting a puppy in (hopefully) a month or two. I've thought about feeding normal dog food but it seems that a Raw Diet is much healthier for dogs. What ingredients should I use? How much of it? How many times per day? I'd probably be getting a female Labrador so I'd need something that a Labrador would feel full eating. I'd prefer ingredients that I could buy at the supermarket or butcher, not online or somehwere I need to go hours away to find. I live in Australia so please do not suggest Wal-Mart or PetSmart etc. Thanks. [ Read More ]
