    Sorry AIRSEABATTLE-I didn’t mean to disparage you at all. I am a proponent of RAW

    I have to wonder if your dog’s health problems are the result of raw feeding.

    To SLOANE K-good idea, but finding a REPUTABLE specialist who will even discuss raw feeding is a daunting task!!

    I totally disagree with anon101. A dog’s digestive system can handle Salmonella & many other bugs humans can’t. After all think about dogs in the wild-They ate most anything-the older the better! If you buy your food from a reputable store & handle it like you would your family’s food there shouldn’t be an issue.
    I see she posted a link from the SPCA. Sorry but they get a lot of funding from dog food companies & support them (BTW-I support the SPCA).
    I too distrust the AAFCO.
    I have been feeding 2 standard poodles raw for their whole lives. Never had better teeth or coats. Very small amt. of stool since ALL the food is digested.
    Bottom line-please do what works but don’t give up on raw. It’s the most appropriate diet for your dog.

    That may be too much too soon for a little guy. The liver should come later. It’s very rich. Start with chicken, thigh or breast meat. Don’t grind it, make her work for it by chewing. Maybe a wing (REMEMBER CHICKEN BONES ARE FINE IF NOT COOKED). We’ve been feeding leg quarters on a regular basis for years. I used the RAW FEEDING website, & RAWCHAT.

    Dr. Marty sounds like a good product, though expensive. I have been feeding my standards poodles raw for some years now with great results–great coats, good teeth, very little poop. It is WAY cheaper & very easy.
