Mom says it's important for all animals to eat a balanced, healthy, fresh diet that is species appropriate. For me that means raw meat, bones & organs. And mom says that I should eat a prey model, which means big pieces and sometimes whole prey. But...all I've ever eaten was "dog food".. so the idea of RAW..whoa!
Mom put it in my bowl for a few days and it really freaked me out. So, we took a break from trying it and I ate a pre-made raw that didn't look so "different". I mean, the prey model stuff really smelled good, but it doesn't look like the stuff that I normally get in my bowl.
Today, Mom and I decided we should give it another try. Mom offered me a turkey neck after some ground raw. I licked it for awhile to determine it was safe, then..chomp, chomp, gulp! Hey - that was easier than I thought!! I think I might like this RAW stuff after all!! BOL!
Woofs!
I tried to give my shepherd mix some raw and he was a wimp! No idea how to really work to eat his food! LOL Glad to hear it is possible for them to figure it out!! (www.thecrossovertrainer.com)
ReplyDeleteHe's still earning to like it! He's a little nervous with anything new. LOL But, he is finding favorite pieces here and there!
DeleteWhat would be a good starting point for RAW? You mentioned turkey neck. What else could I try with my 70lbs pit-corso mix (Luca) and 120 lbs french mastiff (Jackie)?
