I had no clue about raw until breeder told me and I liked the idea in theory but in practise I'm crap at it. I rely too much on the ready done mince and bones from DAF etc which bloody stink my freezer out and make me gag, I give her chicken wings outside as I don't want her taking them from kitchen and dumping them in the living room to eat at her leisurely pace, I haven't the time to completely wash the downstairs floor twice a day argh

Despite all this Id feel shit giving her kibble I never have done and don't see it as an option I just need to make raw work, so how do you all do it logistically as today she would never have eaten outside as she hates the rain and I couldn't expect her to, but then raw meat on the floor??!!

I feed outdoor, whatever the weather. But I have a BT and they are hardy little things. He doesn't seem to notice rubbish weather.

I don't do too much stinky stuff and what we do have I portion and double bag on arrival with at least one of the bags fully sealed.

I think some raw feeders put blankets down they can sling on a hot wash though.

My lab and GSD X always eat outside They're so thrilled to get food they don't notice the weather.

Some raw feeders train dog to feed off a large plastic tray. Or you could use a towel. If dog picks up food to carry it somewhere else just say no and put it back on towel/tray. They soon learn when food is involved.

I must admit, I rely on the minces so they just eat that out of bowls. Bones are treats to them, so are given outdoors weather permitting.

I'd rather they had minces than kibble, so don't beat myself up about it.

Could you get a puppy pen, and then put plastic down so they eat in there?
