How do the people in your house feel about raw?

My husband was sceptical at first.... but after all the health problems we has with our last Standard Poodle, he's completely on board. Russell is 15 months old, only been to the vet for his puppy shots! No ear infections, stomach issues, counter surfing, begging at the table and the list goes on! And since we only fed the best kibble, the price hasn't changed.

My boyfriend doesn't take care of the dogs, so he never had a say in the first place ha ha

My husband was easy to get on board he knew it made sense, his concern was the cost.....I have since proved him wrong and now he is hunting for the dog instead of us...lol (lol kidding he hunts for us too but he always says look what I got for ya baby girl ) The kids...my daughter agrees its a good diet but thinks it is gross and says she wont feed her dogs that way when she moves out, my son I have just found out is obviously embarrassed by it and has told my brother that he wishes I would feed dog food like everyone else...from a bag! I was like wow ok how do you really feel??? haha, but he is 14 and doesn't like to think outside the box of "what everyone else is doing" The people outside my household mostly think I am nuts. Although, seeing as I have been doing this 1yr now some are coming around and no longer change the subject immediatley...progress??? I do believe so :) I must admit though, I personally dont care what anyone says about me. My dog shines in comparison to the others so say what you will.....one look is all it takes in my book.

forgot to add....my husband helps along in the kitchen cutting and packing. He even bought me a new scale for christmas to weigh the food out :)

wow. what a difference in that gorgeous dog.....you guys are like my honey and i....we love our dogs....so much....and we love each other. how could we not do this together.....:)

i love hearing this from you...i remember when you started. :)

My husband is fine with it. He brings me dead animals .

now, there's a tag line if ever i saw one.

its accepted in my house. Peanut is the only animal on raw because no one else wants to switch but they love to watch Peanut eat though.

My boyfriend was skeptical at first, but once I showed him the cost, he was all for it. It was MUCH cheaper than what I was feeding Odysseus at the time (then, we only had the cat). After a few months, he was blown away by the difference in his behavior, his coat, teeth, and overall package. When we picked up Zeus, he took to it like a little champ. :) Daddy works at a high-end restaurant and when the topic of pets come up, he promotes the hell out of it.

My folks (outside of home)...they think it's awful. Or did. My mom was up in a storm about it. I just let her rant. Over a year later, she's starting to come around. Especially after showing her pictures of before/after from this board! :D She's considering transitioning her babies now! So it's a start.

Love the Greek names for your pets. We thought long and hard about Greek names for our kids and pets (as I am half Greek) but decided not in the end although my son Alex is often called Alexandros/Alecos.

Thanks!

I'm a huge ancient Greek fanatic. When we got Ody, it was a no brainer to name him that. When we got the beardie, I let Chad come up with a name. He decided on Athena because of Battlestar Galactica (which is fine by me with the relationship Odysseus and Athena had!) and Zeus...well, irony in this case since he's 5 lbs. :)

I'm half Greek as well and my brother, Alex, is often called those two names often . The older Greek women pronounce my name "Bianga" hahaha

but back on topic!!!
