My Olivia is on JWB kibble. I've tried the lamb, fish and duck, and she seems to enjoy the duck the most. But she loves fresh food even more (I'm sure all dogs do) and I'm concerned about her health a bit. She's recently had some skin issues and I want her to be as healthy as possible. Is raw feeding the way to go?

I've given her a chicken bone before and she loved it. But not again since the vet told me she can contract salmonella as easily as I could with raw chicken.

I gave her some raw beef today and after sniffing it for a bit she ate it all really quickly.

So, I'm considering starting her on fresh, raw food. Her bag of kibble is nearly done so it's either that or buy a new one, but I'd rather try her on raw food for a bit as the idea of her eating fresh meats and veg sounds a lot better than the brown kibble she's having, even though I know its nutritious. And on that note, how on earth do you get your dog to each veg?! She'll happily nab some fresh meat out of my hand but I've tried a few vegetables and she's not interested.

Any one fancy helping me on where to start? What shall I buy first, where shall I go? How much of each thing should she get? She's a 7 month old Shar Pei weighing about 15-16kg, if I remember what the vet told me a couple of weeks ago correctly.

Thanks a lot.

ps. Pork repulses me and I can't even touch it, so that's out of the question!
