The doghouse

Could anyone talk me through raw feeding please?

Vet thinks it would stop the BigDog itching.

Where the chuff do I start? He said 'oh it's easy, just get some pheasants from the shoot and hand them over'. I'm not sure I could do that. Would there not be guts and bits all over the kitchen?

Glad Biggy enjoyed the chicken wings! Lots of people who are into raw feeding also add Apple Cider Vinegar (with the "mother") to food (or water). It may be worth getting some - Amazon has it.

Some raw food suppliers do a sample pack - I got one from Raw 2 Go - it was quite useful to try out different meats and to see how much room it took in the freezer.

Small got jealous of the delicious chicken wings so I appear to now have 2 raw dogs.

They will both love it!! It's very satisfying seeing them crunch things up. They may not drink as much water when they're eating raw, so don't be concerned if you notice that.

Should have said that the vinegar can also be applied directly onto your dog to help with the itching. Just google it and you'll find lots of info. Also supposed to help to keep fleas away Smile
