My question really is however, Daisy has become VERY good at holding her movements untill the right time. Obviously while she is getting used to her new diet her digestive system is going to be up in arms, but once she is used to it and happily eating RAW foods, can i expect the same kind of control over her movements or is it just fact that it moves through her more efficiently and is thus sat there waiting sooner?
It had no effect on my three's control. Our 6 and 7 month old pups have better control than most of the adult dogs that are fed commercial food, so if anything I would say raw improves their control.

When I made the switch for Milo it had no negative effect on his stools, they firmed up over a few days and he hasn't once had diahorrea since we changed to raw. With the pups I did a straight swap, the day they came here they went straight onto raw! They both took to it instantly. Jayjay had no negative effects on his stools, just like Milo they firmed up over a few days and that was that. Trinny got diahorrea for a few days and then things started to sort themselves out but I think that had more to do with the crap food she was fed before she came to us than the raw. D
