Coonhound Mama
MemberOh no, I absolutely would not do that again. Aside from the fact that that bone has been sitting there long enough to harbor some very serious bacteria, a sun bleached bone is not edible. Sun has the same effect on bones that cooking them does- it breaks them down into dry and flaky shards that could potentially cause cuts in the GI tract. Stick to fresh, raw rib bones only.

MemberIād be curious to know how most feed, also. I feed grinds simply because Iāve got an older girl with a sensitive stomach. Anything thatās not finely ground up and she will throw up tiny bone shards (even with pro/prebiotic help). Sheās in general pretty thrilled by the fact that itās real meat Iām feeding her, so Iām not sure the texture bothers her.

MemberAlexis W-
Yes, the strawberries gave her diarrhea. Many of the food charts Iāve seen say to feed strawberries sparingly, as this is a known side effect. I do not feed them at all now. I was certain it was the strawberries as it was the only time I had ever given them to her. I would agree with Anonymous however in that ruling out a medical condition as a reason for diarrhea should come before assumption of gastrointestinal upset from a change in food.

May 19, 2016 at 7:49 am in reply to: fruits and veggies in your dog's diet #86463 Report Abuse Edit Post VisibilityCoonhound Mama
MemberWhile I feed mostly prey model raw, I do feed fruits and vegetables a few times a week for antioxidant and vitamin/mineral benefit. I try to stick to low sugar and low carbohydrate fruits and veggies so as not to overload the system with too much unnecessary stuff. Blueberries, spinach, kale, chia seed, pumpkin and the occasional broccoli, apple, pear or green bean might make its way into the bowl a few times a month š I do offer butternut squash as a treat from time to time because she loves it like Debbie J said also!

MemberHi Jen T:
Good for you for taking the big step to homemade! I donāt think you will be disappointed š I would however recommend varying your recipe as much as your budget will allow with different proteins, meats, vegetables and fruits. Iām not seeing any bone meal in your recipes, either, which is crucial in providing calcium when feeding boneless meats. Off the top of my head I would definitely recommend adding bone meal, vitamin E, fish oil (or whole sardines) and a green superfood supplement such as spirulina or wheatgrass. You may want to add in a canine multivitamin just to cover any bases. A great resource for cooked homemade diets is Dr. Karen Beckerās Real Food for Healthy Dogs and Cats. It breaks everything down for you into manageable, complete and balanced recipes.

MemberHi Zoe,
They all vary by a bit in chewiness. Some are kind of a hard crunch (lamb trachea, pig ears and chicken feet) while others are more like jerky (the fish and pork tenderloin pieces). What I like about these though is they all retain some bit of moisture and arenāt entirely dry. I keep them in the fridge so theyāll keep longer and rehydrate them to add to my raw grinds as toppers. I canāt stress enough how much better these air dried treats are than the air dried stuff you can get in bulk bins in big box stores. Amazing quality!
Definitely recommend.May 11, 2016 at 8:32 am in reply to: Whole Prey Style Treats for Raw Feeders #86109 Report Abuse Edit Post VisibilityCoonhound Mama
MemberLauri G:
Weāve added lamb trachea to our rotation of whole prey treats- about one per week so as not to overdo (moderation for all things!) She doesnāt seem to have a problem with them so far. Iām not one for plugging links and businesses very often, but I thought Iād take the time to share this raw fed dog equivalent to the Bark Box subscription box! Weāve been getting one box a month of air dried species appropriate treats and theyāre all human grade meats. Definitely worth a look if youāre interested in a variety of proteins to give as treats. Currently weāre doing lamb trachea, beef kidney, chicken feet, dehydrated pork loin and dried whole sardines š

MemberGreat menu, Cannoli. Sounds like youāve got an awesome handle on raw. Might I ask why you are still feeding Orijen when your raw menu is so good? Just curious. I know you said you believe in a rotational diet, but it looks like your raw menu is wonderfully diverse. Keep up the good work.
šApril 12, 2016 at 7:59 am in reply to: How to start brushing dogs teeth? #84987 Report Abuse Edit Post VisibilityCoonhound Mama
MemberAnother good idea is to start with a dog toothpaste in a flavor your dog really likes. This cuts out the amount of loathing right from the get-go! I adopted a 5 year old dog this past year with absolutely horrendous teeth and after 9 months of brushing, I can say weāve made considerable progress. A few minutes a day is all it takes. We currently use the peanut butter flavored Nylabone toothpaste and a finger brush, and hoping to move to dental gel made by Mercola as itās all natural and more intensive (I think she can handle it now). Good luck!

MemberI would agree with Pit Love- a nutritionist would be your safest and best bet. There are some very important things you donāt want to guesstimate on such as calcium/phosphorus ratios, especially since GSDs are large breed dogs. It is crucial to get ratios in balance at this stage. Definitely check out this link for some supplemental resources for starting puppies on raw:
Coonhound Mama
MemberIf you look below any of the reviews for a dog food youāve selected, the analysis of fat content should appear in a pie graph chart. Is there a certain fat percentage youāre shooting to feed at or below? A high protein diet (senior dogs need more protein than most realize) with lower fat would probably be ideal, but for something more specific I would say consulting a holistic vet would be best. My dog did very well on the grain free, carageenan-free Natureās Variety brand canned food, although I realize the fat content (in the upper 30s) on these may not be doable for your dog.
March 30, 2016 at 10:54 am in reply to: Food for Westie ā Pooping a lot #84518 Report Abuse Edit Post VisibilityCoonhound Mama
MemberGood for you for making the switch to a better food! I would definitely try some probiotics. The Honest Kitchen makes a great goatās milk powder thatās easy to mix into food and contains multiple strains of probiotics. Mercola Healthy Pets makes a Spirugreen supplement that greatly helped my dog in achieving normal poos, too. Lamb is a pretty rich meat so it may just be your dog is reacting to that. Any food with rice in it came out in very large, almost double-the-sized lumps back when I was feeding kibble. Iām not sure if rice expands as it digests when it is a kibble ingredient, but that may be part of the cause, too.

MemberThank you ladies, I currently order all my pupās food from Hare Today, so yes, Hare Today is where I am looking to place a treat order from, too š I guess my question was more along the lines of snack-ability/time it takes to chew. Iāve got a bit of a dainty chewer (which is why I feed grinds and not prey model), so I was wondering if there were any good recommendations as to specific items. Sheās done well with chicken and duck feet from the few times I have tried, so I think I will try those as well as some furred rabbit feet. Iāve never tried things such as trachea before. Any input on the texture/snackability of those? (apologize for my made-up lingo here lol)
Thanks again!

MemberHi Andrew-
Sheās taking a multivitamin capsule, a spirulina capsule (with added Vitamin E) and a whole food vitamin/mineral supplement by Dr. Harveyās once per day along with flax seed, chia seed, and alternating vegetables/herbs. She gets a scoop of yogurt or full fat cottage cheese once per day and oysters once a week. I try to stick to balancing with whole foods but the multivitamin capsule is in there just to cover any bases I may be missing. We donāt do any other added fish oils as she eats sardines several times per week. Thanks again for the advice and followup!

MemberI definitely wonder the same thing, but I 100% agree with InkedMarie in that I trust Tracy from Hare Today to keep things honest, down-to-earth and as all-natural as she can do. I too feed exclusively grinds from Hare Today because I am inexperienced with balancing and know it cannot be something you mess up! Even if what weāre feeding isnāt 100% grass-fed, free range, GMO-free, whatever you will, itās always going to be better than kibble when itās balanced correctly.

February 1, 2016 at 1:10 pm in reply to: Heavy Fats or Heavy Carbs? #82514 Report Abuse Edit Post VisibilityCoonhound Mama
MemberHi John B:
Since dogs do not technically have a carbohydrate requirement, I would say that a diet with little to no carbohydrates would be best for your dog. Corn, wheat, potatoes, rice, squash-all are heavy in carbohydrates and therefore unnecessary unless you have a dog with a high metabolism and you need to add calories to help them maintain weight. Fat is an essential nutrient to a dog but those suffering from sensitivity to high fat levels and/or pancreatitis may have issues, so itās not really very easy to say one is better than another across the board.

MemberHey there,
While I donāt microwave raw food, I totally feel your pain on this because Iām from the arctic, barren wasteland that is MAINE haha. Mine wonāt eat the really cold food easily either, so I put it on the counter for a half hour or so to keep it a little lower than room temperature but not as cold as the fridge- although our house can be pretty darn cold this time of year too. I know many will not advise this due to bacterial contamination, but keeping the food contained to a clean metal bowl is a good move. I have to admit that I do not use microwaves for my own foods, so I wouldnāt use it for my dog either but that is just a personal preference. I would say bring it up to room temperature as best you can to see if you can omit popping it in the microwave at all. Good luck fellow New Englander!

MemberHi Andrew B,
Thank you for the advice. We have now successfully moved to 100% raw (prey model 80/10/10 with added veggies, whole food supplements and oils), and I have seen a great improvement in her weight. She is slowly putting more on and is back up to a healthy 60 pounds. A recent vet visit confirmed her weight is in a very healthy range so I am hoping we continue to have more success! You are right about the salmon, however. Healthy fats have helped us in our weight gaining journey. Sheās a huge sardine fan š Thanks for all the help!
January 6, 2016 at 12:28 pm in reply to: Detox and Raw feeding? #81761 Report Abuse Edit Post VisibilityCoonhound Mama
MemberI would disagree also regarding the organs. Skipping out on them even in the beginning could make for some grave imbalances. I do however agree with Rox B that we are missing some crucial information here and it should probably not be assumed that the veterinarian was correct in diagnosing the dogs with Salmonella poisoning right away. A holistic vet should always be the first to go to for questions with raw feeding. I personally do not have one near to me and must deal with the disapproval of my conventional veterinarian. *sigh*
December 31, 2015 at 12:52 pm in reply to: Picky senior with pancreatitis #81592 Report Abuse Edit Post VisibilityCoonhound Mama
MemberIām sorry to hear about this š I would strongly recommend trying bone broth for your girl while sheās still having issues with nausea and vomiting. Itās got many beneficial vitamins and minerals in it that will be easily digestible to your dog. You can buy bone broth from some specialty pet stores already made (popular brand Honest Kitchen makes some) but itās really easy to do yourself! Itās not a complete and balanced diet, but starting your dog back onto regular food isnāt always easy and this is a solid, nutritious start. Regarding raw, I disagree with the previous poster in that raw isnāt good for a dog in this condition. I think you may just want to keep her fat intake to a minimum. Darwins is notorious these days for high fat levels so if youāre looking for a brand with a lower fat content, try Natures Variety Instinct Frozen Raw.
Hereās a link to bone broth!

MemberI totally understand your worry, and mine had grain-infested kibble for a long time, too! They are lucky we know better now š As long as you feed on rotation and offer some kibble and/or canned in advance, (oh the dreaded kibble), you should be fine. Iāve found my dogās system does best when I feed her canned food when I absolutely have to during travel as opposed to kibble. Much easier to carry than raw, and luckily Natureās Variety Instinct does make a very, very good 95% single protein canned food.
December 30, 2015 at 11:29 am in reply to: Raw Dog Food On the Go? #81583 Report Abuse Edit Post VisibilityCoonhound Mama
MemberHi Kelly,
Iām afraid I would not be much help as far as balancing food nutrients requirements with homemade diets, but you may be able to buy a bag of freeze dried raw food (guaranteed to be balanced) just for these certain times. I donāt know if this is any easier, but I use premade raw when we travel (Stella and Chewyās and Natureās Variety) simply because it stores easier than a whole mess of odds and ends does. Of course that doesnāt eliminate the issue of cold storage. Check out some of the 5 star freeze dried bag foods though if you are looking for convenience.
December 17, 2015 at 12:59 pm in reply to: Weeks of Raw and Still Issues #81275 Report Abuse Edit Post VisibilityCoonhound Mama
MemberOh thatās great! I hope the grinds work for your pup. I am wondering if dogs that arenāt big chewers have problems with PMR simply because they arenāt interested in vigorously chewing things. Ours sounds a lot like yours in that she is very good with large recreational load-bearing bones and antlers, but not so much the edible dietary bones. We do like you mentioned and provide RMBs for recreation and teeth cleaning once or twice per week and brush every day. I hope you find a solution that works!
December 17, 2015 at 12:37 pm in reply to: Weeks of Raw and Still Issues #81270 Report Abuse Edit Post VisibilityCoonhound Mama
MemberHi Natalie R,
I am so sorry to hear of your issues but on some level it does comfort me to know that my dog (60 lb Coonhound) is not the only one who experiences great difficulty in digesting bone. Although it doesnāt provide any dental benefits, I would highly suggest moving your Westieās diet over to a raw ground diet. I feel confident in doing this after many many attempts at feeding whole bone and having my dog vomit just the way you described with yours. Didnāt seem sick, didnāt seem abnormal, just seemed to vomit up bone. We have transitioned to fine and coarse ground raw chubs in every protein variety imaginable from Hare Today Gone Tomorrow (bone, meat, organ blends) and this seems to have cleared up nearly all of her issues. I would strongly advise checking this out for your dog too if you donāt want to compromise on the health benefits of raw. Youāll have to keep up with the teeth brushing with the loss of the RMBs, but other than that I think you will find a significant difference and improvement in GI upset and digestibility.

MemberCoonhound Dad! š
Glad to see another Coonhound parent on here. Curious as to what kind of Coonhound Maggie is and how long the pea-related carbohydrate problem went on before you solved the issue.

MemberHi Ryan Y:
Iām new to raw feeding so I will stick to quoting the tried and true veterans of the field, but I do know that you have to be careful balancing phosphorous and calcium ratios as well as avoiding too much Vitamin A (often found in liver and fibrous carbohydrates like pumpkin). An older post in this forum written by Hound Dog Mom on the topic of Raw Feeding has a wonderful recipe sheās come up with (and also tested against AAFCO standards) that seems easy to make and is balanced as a full vitamin and mineral mix. Reminder that these are vitamins and minerals in their dietary form and not their tablet or pill form if that makes sense. Iāll post it here for you as Iāve copied it for my own use and donāt have time to hunt around for the original post!Hound Dog Momās Whole Food Multi-Vitamin/Mineral Supplement (for her large dogs):
4 oz kelp powder
4 oz alfalfa powder
4 oz wheatgrass powder
4 oz spirulina powder
4 oz chlorella powder
4 oz bee pollen powder
4 oz turmeric powder
2 oz garlic powderI know she also uses apple cider vinegar, cod liver oil, Himalayan crystal salt, calcium citrate, coconut oil and various mixed tocopherols tocotrienols in her dogsā diet, but these would vary with dog size, age, weight and of course the other food items being fed at the time. Again, if you look through the forums, you should be able to find some of her outstanding dietary advice.

MemberI would agree with Anonymous. This sounds like a job for your local vet and it very well could be age related at this point regardless of her previous dietary history. Iām so sorry for your little pup though and I hope things get better for her soon. <3

You can read reviews of it on here and most all are 5 stars with the exception of just a few that are 4.5 stars.

Iād be curious to hear more input regarding what the original poster Ella S included about feeding a tablespoon each of plain nonfat Greek yogurt and canned pumpkin per day. Are there any risks involved in this? I have a 60 lb dog so I donāt think a tablespoon would make much of a difference, but I am concerned that this might be a bit too much Vitamin A in the long run. Sheās currently transitioning to raw and suffers from slightly mushy poo, so I add it in to aid in digestion and to help keep bowel movements regular. Any thoughts?
Thanks.
Coonhound Mama
MemberMarie: Do you have any recommendations on where to find duck or turkey necks? I will be saving the Thanksgiving turkey odds and ends for her of course, but is there somewhere I could try that would offer those? I am thinking we will try turkey necks first as sheās a big girl and has a tendency to inhale food. And yes, I have been to Gilford! Lovely place. Wonderful to meet people from my general area who share common interests.

MemberIām a new raw feeder and this worries me, too. My dog is a recently adopted 5 year old coonhound who has been eating kibble her entire life until now. For this reason I started her out on bone, organ and meat grinds until her system adjusts. If you think your dog is a gulper, I would definitely try grinds first. Also, it can be helpful from what I have read to start your dog who is new to edible bones on larger bones that are as big as their own head size to discourage and avoid swallowing a piece that could cause blockages. Good luck!
Coonhound Mama
MemberHi InkedMarie,
Thanks for your response and congratulations on the new puppy! I am located in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. Just moved here a year ago so Iām trying to find some places nearby that will be cost effective. Thanks for sharing your advice regarding Reel Raw. I have read some other reviews that have noted the noticeably higher fat percentage, so I think for now we will stick with Hare Today. Our pup is a 5 year old shelter dog whom weāve only had for three months, so for right now we are still doing a slow transition to raw. Sheās been kibble fed her whole life! Weāve started out on the bone, organ and meat grinds which seems to be going very well. If I can muster up enough courage to start her on some edible bones (other than recreational bones) I will certainly take your advice and try the beef rib bones!
Coonhound Mama
MemberHi Inked Marie,
Iām new to the forums so I apologize for trolling an older post of yours! I was hoping youād see this as Iāve been reading your posts for awhile now and Iāve noticed youāre located in New England. Any reviews or advice you could offer on how Reel Raw is working for you and your dogs? I am located in Maine so picking somewhere local to source my raw goodies would be absolutely ideal. Currently we shop through Hare Today which is incredible but I would like to move things more local. Thanks again and I hope to hear from you.
