Oscar is adorable!!!

[Zach M]

Yeah. My dog likes crunch not mush. Thank you for your time

[Zach M]

Thanks Dori. I never thought of it expanding. My dog wasnt crazy about the mushy frozen raw though. I really dont know what to do then. I wonder if i could crumble it on her kibble? We will see.

[Zach M]

Thanks Barbara. You’ve helped a lot with this issue. I do have another question. Would the freeze dried be harder and more like a biscuit? Would I also HAVE to re hydrate it? Thanks for all he help guys.

[Zach M]

Good and bad news. My dog didnt eat her primal duck recipe after it had thawed for 6 hours. She did though eat the primal after it had only thawed for two hours in the fridge. I know it is not safe to feed still frozen recipe. Would it be ok if i let it thawed for a couple hours and then giving it to her because she likes the crunchiness. Thanks ia advance everyone.

[Zach M]

Thanks for the answers. I was planning on mixing the duck and turkey and sardine recipes with the wellness core large breed. I have to ask, is that okay? And is the large breed ok for a 50-55 pound dog?

[Zach M]

OK, thanks! I thought they were the same, but I was just wondering. I think next time i’m going with pronto turkey and sardine, and rotating it with duck. Thanks for all the help.

[Zach M]

Should i go with pronto or go with the frozen raw nuggets? From my understanding they are practically the same. What do you guys think?

[Zach M]

Oops. Wrong website. I orser other treats from there. I ordered it from wag

[Zach M]

I ordered from only natural pet. The shipping is pricey 8dollars and i should of mentioned that. The shipping is also slow. It is worth it to me though.

[Zach M]

Well, i decided to switch off with duck recipe. I ordered 3 lbs or frozen online for just 20 dollars, where as the freeze dried was the same price for 14 ounces.

[Zach M]

Thanks guys!

[Zach M]

Or does it last a long time as long as it is kept in the freezer, where as freeze dried is shelf stable?

[Zach M]

How long does frozen raw last then?

[Zach M]

Im thinking about going with duck, but i have a question, what is the difference between the freeze dried and the frozen raw. The frozen raw is so much cheaper. Just wondering. Oh, btw, the ingredients are nearly identical.

[Zach M]

My dog was doing fine on blue buffalo. I did decide to switch though, because she started eating grass, and it wasnt the food.

[Zach M]

Thanks guys! I was just curious. I do have the ABC way book. That is where i got the idea of sardines.

[Zach M]

And anything I could do to make kibble better let me know.

[Zach M]

Do i add whole eggs, raw or cooked?

[Zach M]

That might be the one for me! Thanks. The protein is a little low, but i could add sardines for toppers. I will try it. Thanks Sue!

[Zach M]

It changes but it had 19% fat, and 29% protein

[Zach M]

She acts sickly

[Zach M]

She puts on weight FAST. She seems to also act a little wacky

[Zach M]

No, but she doesnt handle fat well. The hghest protein she has eger had is 29 %. I guess i am afraid to go to high 30’s with the protein.

[Zach M]

Hi Crazy4cats-
I am not a member, but wellness only has one gf line, core, and the protein is a little high, and slightly pricey. I really wish i could use merrick, but the situation going on is to much. Thanks though

[Zach M]

I agree with Betsy.

[Zach M]

Sweet, Thanks! I will most likely order them soon.

[Zach M]

Weezerweeks, I to am wanting to try them. Did your dog enjoy them? Also, does anyone know where they get there tripe? Thanks in advance

[Zach M]

I don’t know much about the dog foods in Australia, but a general rule of thumb, stay away from iams, Purina, and beneful.

[Zach M]

I have the book, but didn’t know that sardines have a lot of fish oil. I guess it was right there in front of my face lol.

[Zach M]

Havn’t tried them, but they look fine to me. Maybe someone who has tried them will answer.

[Zach M]

Wow guys, you leave for 2 hours and come back to an abundance of answers. Thanks! And a question, do tinned sardines give a proper amount of fish oil? I like the idea of “Sardine Sunday”, C4C! It could become a new tradition out our house too!

[Zach M]

Thanks HDM! I hope you had a great 4th

[Zach M]

HDM, yesterday The Honest Kitchen launched some new lines. 2 more base mixes, and Hacylon, or something like that.

[Zach M]

Thanks Betsy! I looked it up, and will probably try it out. I just have to find out the size.

[Zach M]

I would like to have that be the case. My dog is a TERRIBLE dog walker. I am currently on day 9 of dog training I have followed steps, but my dog is strong and really thinks she is the leader. I will try and find someone. Thanks for the help!

[Zach M]

Hi Betsy, I just saw your post. The kennel she goes to has 6 enclosed play pens inside where they have a couple dogs each based on size and social ability. They also have outdoor play time. They say that this year was her best year because she actually did a little bit of playing with other dogs. I just hope that she gets better.

[Zach M]

I gave her a nice long hug from you! The kennel she stays at does have 10-20 dogs. The people there remember her as the “dog who stays in the corner”. We were thinking of payong for a private play time which is 15 minutes a day of private play. We have looked 8 kennels in real life and this one was the best. I would have someone dog sit, she is afraid of our only neighbor who could do it. Well, she isn’t afraid she doesn’t respond to her and stays in her kennel. We are going on another vacation in two weeks. We will look at other places. Thanks!

[Zach M]

I was thinking about THK, but was also deciding between merrick and core. I am a fan of wellness core, as I have used some of there Canned food and treats in the past. C4C, I was talking about real food toppers that I pit on arnt over 20%. When I feed canned I give her a meal of it. Tell me about it. If my dog could talk life would be so much better! Merrick I’ve heard has had quality issues, but it seems like the ingredients and protein is right for my dog. I might make the switch to Wellness core, but I’m not sure if they use ingredients from the usa and if they use no gmos, which are important to me for certain reasons. Thanks for all the help. I will continue to pursue my goal of getting my dog to eat her food!

[Zach M]

Sue, I will try that crushing idea. Unfortunately, canned food is to expensive for everyday food, but for times lime this she eats canned food. I will crush it on her canned food, and since there isn’t much left, I will order some new kibble. I was thinking about Merrick GF. ABC day is Saturday, so I might move it to tomorrow. Thank you for all the suggestions!

[Zach M]

I put the canned food on her regular food, and I put water on some regular food. She turned her nose on them. She just ate the canned food part and spit ilthe kibble out. The warm water batch she didn’t even touch. Do you think it would make a difference to put them together? She just now ate her breakfast that I reset out at 600.

[Zach M]

You might want to try switching food. SD is not a high quality food. Try finding a cheaper grain free food. Earthborn Primitive Natural is one that HDM recommended. I understand you are on a budget, but i think it might be the food.

[Zach M]

Hey RescueDaneMom,

I definitely dont have a 150 lb. Great Dane but my dog eats like one! Anyway, I was just wondering costs, and your reply helped. Thanks!

[Zach M]

BCnut, I could so picture you doing that!

[Zach M]

Ooohhhh I need that Cyndi!!! I didn’t know they made trays like that.

[Zach M]

Also, Shasta, how do your homemade “greenies” work with bad breath? I really some of those if they help with gas and bad breath.

[Zach M]

Has anyone figured out how to hold blended up fruits/veggies and other items together? When I make treats i want to make them into cm by cm cubes, but when i freeze them in an ice tray they are really big, so i want to find out how to freeze them smaller. So i will put them on a tray and freeze them into cubes, but does anyone know how to give them some consistency to stand up when i put them on the tray?

[Zach M]

What are your guys costs per month for feeding a raw diet

[Zach M]

Dang Akari! I just have a question. Where do you guys get all these coupons?

[Zach M]

I will download that. I’m so pumped!
