I have fed my dog raw since he was around 5 months old. He was very fussy and refused to eat, i tried picking his food up etc but it didnt work and he refused to eat. I then started reading into raw food, and i gave him a chicken carcass...since then i have never looked back. if you dont want to start feeding raw in a whole you should try "naturediet" it is all natural..bit smelly but any dog i know LOVES it. It come in a páte form. let me know how you get on
