    Default Hello from OH

    Hello everyone,
    My name is Kelly and I live in northeastern Ohio. I just signed up on the forum this weekend. I have 3 dalmatians and they all have been on raw food since they were puppies. I have been feeding them raw for 3 years now but I am learning something new about this diet every day. This looks like a great forum and I hope to keep learning more!

    -Kel

    The one with the patch over his eye is Bruiser, the lemon spotted one is Jake and the other one is my female Maggie.

    Me too. They are all gorgeous.

    Aren't Dalmations one of the breeds that can't eat taurine, or has to have alot of it, or something like that?

    Welcome. Since you're also from Ohio and been feeding RAW longer than I have do you have any good meat sources you could share?

    I have never heard if they are or not.

    I have a few local meat lockers/butchers, I get my meat and bones from. I also get ground mixes from Raw Pet Food - BARF Diet

    I have never heard about dalmatians and not being able to eat taurine. If this is true, someone please let me know.

    I have several meat lockers in my area, that I order my bones from. I also order ground mixes from three cheers for raw.

    Sorry, it's not taurine it's purine. I really don't know what I'm talking about - if your dogs are healthy, that's what counts. I would say after all these years you are doing it right.

    Something about certain breeds prone to developing kidney stones, here's an article:
