Hi, all. Just about to begin feeding raw to my 3 GSDs. I am at a loss as to where to feed them. They are used to each having a bowl around the kitchen. With raw I'm thinking to would be better outside, weather permitting. I know some people crate but I only have 2 crates and they are in the bedroom with beds in them so not an option.
Thanks for tips!
I feed Eevee on a towel in her crate because I have carpet everywhere, and I dont want her to run around after eating. A lot of people feed outside, which means no clean up afterwards.If youd rather feed the dogs inside the house, I'd suggest you get a big towel for them to eat on to protect the floor/carpet. I dont use a bowl because they would take their food out of the bowl to get a better grip/chew anyway

Spring, summer and fall we feed outside. Winter we feed outside depending on the weather. If we feed inside its on towels in the kitchen. For the first while I had to stand to make sure the food was actually eatten on the towels but now they get it :) I then pick up the towels and chuck them in the wash.
I feed in the crate

In their kennels, or outside. I might feed indoors this summer, last we had a LOT of flies outside even though their food was finished (meat residue on grass?). Flies creep me out like none other. I might start training them to stay in one corner of the kitchen and just quickly go over the floor with a swiffer.

Outside on the deck for Wilson & Piper. Sako eats inside from a raised bowl because he is SO neat about everything and never lets anything touch the ground!

I feed inside one at a time on a white blanket, if I'm in a rush I will feed one dog outside while the other eats inside. Once it starts to get warmer out I will probably feed outside though

My female eats in the kitchen on the ceramic tile in her bowl..She sometimes will spray blood especially when she bites into a rabbit head but I just wipe it off the cupboards with spray bleach..My boy eats on a rug on the wood floor in the living/dining room in his bowl...It's not a big deal, If they make a mess you clean it up...

Lots of you say you use a towel.. but what about the juices etc that soak through?
I feed mine in their crates, so nobody needs to stress that their meal is going to get stolen.
