What if my dog doesn't want raw meat?

I really don't think its too good to mix kibble with raw.

In general, you are exactly correct but in this circumstance doing it for a few days until the dog gets used to raw won't do any harm but the dog in question doesn't eat kibble anyway so it's a moot point. :)

Most dogs prefer kibble over raw, just like kids prefer cupcakes over vegetables. And the health issues are about the same...

My dogs haven't seen kibble in so long, I'm not even sure they would know it's food. Thor (3 1/2 years old) hasn't seen kibble since he was 12 weeks, and Abby hasn't seen any in 6 years.

MAN! He DOES rule the roost around there. You do know he's a dog, right?

Ha! Says the man that...
1. Special orders meat intended for human consumption for his dogs.
2. Probably owns his own special freezer to keep his dogs food in.
3. Has an extensive website to explain how he feeds his dogs, and how it will benefit other dogs as well.
4. Uploads cute pictures of his doggies to the internet.

BTW, I looked over your website more, and it is very helpful. Thanks:)

Guilty

Actually there are 2 dog freezers. :)

3. Has an extensive website to explain how he feeds his dogs, and how it will benefit other dogs as well.

Again guilty

4. Uploads cute pictures of his doggies to the internet.

I don't do that nearly enough

You're quite welcome :)

I'm glad to read about others' experience w/ raw feeding. My ckcs Piper loves her raw diet! Okay, she's a rescue and loves anything that I allow her to eat - except raw poultry. I am convince it is a texture thing with her since she will eat it if I grind it or mince it and serve it mixed with veggies. Venison is her ultimate favorite! The other thing she won't touch is raw liver, which is remarkably similar to chicken. However, even if I mix it with other things she will refuse it. On the whole (lol!) Piper is alot healthier that she ever was with kibble. Her allergies plagued her day and night and it broke my heart to hear her moaning and scratching herself all night long. Nobody got much rest.

One more thing I must remark upon is Piper's propensity to bury her bones! If I give her a meaty bone she may work on it for awhile, but you can bet your bottom dollar that she will find a way to bury that sucker the moment I am not looking - she will unearth it a week or so later and carry that thing around, all dirty and coated with sand, until I am able to confiscate it!
