    rfd got me started again....privately before i joined this board....which is why i singled him out.

    after that, i have all of you to thank and i do.....i am one happy raw feeder!

    I started feeding my dogs raw Oct. 2009. I had tried all the expensive grain free foods, but Maks kept scratching and chewing his paws. So I switched "cold turkey" (no pun intended) to raw and they love it. My old dog had gotten so skinny I just new she wouldn't be around much longer. She has gained 10 lbs. since eating raw I know her days are numbered but at least she's eating and gaining weight and really enjoying her meals. She's 16 and still hanging in there.
    Thanks so much for all the knowledge that I got on this forum. I couldn't have done it correctly without y'all.
    I wish I had done this years ago. Clean teeth, breath, and their coats look like they just had a bath.

    I have been feeding raw now for about a month(well, almost) and I just have to let everyone know all the changes I have noticed since starting. First off their coats. They started shedding all of a sudden like I have never seen, and the new coat underneith is so shiny, and they have all softened up so much! Just overall their coats are much healthier looking. The "hard keepers" are keeping weight much better with what seems like less food, but its really WAY better nutrition. We have two of the dobes who Have always had bad digestive problems, having huge cow patty type poops. Now, both have nice, little perfect "pretty" turds! I'm so thrilled with that! And, our dogs have always loved to eat the horses' poops. I mean gulping it down like they are starving to death. Now, (knocking on wood) I haven't even seem them so much as look at it. That just tells me poop eating is a nutritional thing. Commercial food is just lacking all a dog needs. That is such a huge relief to me! Now, I just have to be able to start buying in bulk but I think that will come with time. Wayne(my hubby) just keeps on comenting on the poops of our two with problems, so he is now sold as well.
    I want to thank Danemomma(Natalie) and Raw Fed Dogs for all their expert help!!!!! (and everyone else too)! I know I will have more questions, but I am learning sooo much from all ya'll!!! Thanks again!!
    LIFES GOOD!!!

    We didn't have any real "itchy" problems, but if you do and judging on our results, I would say you will see a difference within a couple of weeks. We saw our first results in the first week. If you have food related allergies, sometimes they may take a tad longer to get out of their system. But I guarantee you, you would be amazed at all the changes you will see! Are you switching to raw? You are in the right place, I promise!
    LIFES GOOD!!!
