Carolina Girl Saying HELLO - Leaning towards RAW

[frogdog]

I wanted to say "hello" and introduce myself. I have a 15 month French Bulldog, Yogi, who has been battling allergies since early spring. We had an allergy panel completed along with many vet visits. Unfortunately, he has just as much outside environmental allergens....different grasses, trees, weeds, etc....along with food. I have always been a believer in better food consumption for our furry family members. I, myself, have been a strict organic mostly raw eater for 7 yrs. Yogi was having the pleasure...I say this with laughter....enjoying home cooked food especially made for him by yours truly. This has been an expensive ($100 a week because we basically stink at it - economically) and time consuming endeavor and have turned to Stella and Chewy's premade raw patties. I was looking into switching to Paw Naturaw Raw Frozen Grinds (B.A.R.F.) but have since been researching PMR and highly considering. Any and all opinions are welcome.

Thanks so MUCH! Luckily, he acts fine but outward appearance is a tell tell sign. This forum has such great informative info!

I just did a few minutes ago...a delayed thinker for a moment there and realized it was best to post on the RAW forum. :))

I am def considering and reading up. My only concern is will my extremely picky carnivore eat raw??? Don't know until you try it!

Absolutely -- def worth trying. I feel like the most magical transformations with raw are witnessed in dogs like yours -- maybe the effects aren't immediately seen with dogs that are already the epitome of health, but I think there's a chance you'll be really astounded by the difference. :)
