Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Generally raw food is more hydrating and more nutrient rich (as in more of what's eaten is absorbed, hence smaller poops) than kibble. Hydration is good for all pigments, so you often see brighter healthier coats, eyes, gums, and skin. Although you'd never know it with a Husky for the last one, ha. There is also a tendency for much less plaque and periodontal problems which is much more common on kibble-fed dogs.
Raw fed dogs will usually drink less water as well, because of the improvements with hydration and nutrient retention. |

| She has always been a major drinker! I will have to get used to a few different things It's amazing how different all the puppies are, a couple of them are on crap food and doing well.. Maybe I'm blessed with the digestion sensitive dogs because I will try anything to make them healthier and happier! So happy I stumbled upon the raw meat diet! |

| Well don't get caught in the trap of "doing well (right now)." Think long term, accumulative health I'm glad you are excited about a raw diet. You'll be very pleased. It can just be a lot more work/less convenient. |

| Very true! Thankfully the extra mental and physical work doesn't bother me I know it has just begun though. Kodi is worth it! |

| Even with the extra work I find preparing almost a months worth of food into grab bag portions takes about the same amount of time I would spend driving to the pet store and buying the kibble. Only I never have to leave my house, just a walk to the freezer. |

| I can agree with that, I spent this afternoon.. Probably an hour total with clean up making two weeks of food bags and labeling them. I didn't find it very hard at all.
I gave Kodi a chicken leg and some breast tonight for dinner, I'm pretty sure she thought I was giving her crack! She LOVED it and was never interested in kibble. |

| I have already noticed a few things! After the first meal she had no breath odor, she is always excited to eat, no more pot belly and she had a tiny solid poop! What she did after she pooped was strange though.. She buried it, anyone else have this experience? |
