The lady at raw2go said that the meat stores for 12 weeks so thats good and she was very very helpful she said the minces are roughly 80:10:10 but she was very helpful in explaining how if i still wanted to feed meaty bones how i could make sure my rations stay the same.

Fantastic selection and a nice healthy variety,, for me raw is considerably cheaper than the so called good kibble brands, would hate to think how much i'd spend on kibble for my 2

We were spending about £38 every 5 weeks on kibble, so even when you add in the extra bits like we give her veg as she likes is and extra bits from the butchers it is still much cheaper.

On a side note to people reading the diary there have been no physcial changes to her coat, body shape etc yet but I understand it can take some time to have an impact but I am completly overjoyed with how it has helped with her digestive problems.

Day 6 and still happy with how things are going, one quick question though, her poo's are a lot less frequent and when they 'happen' are a nice normal colour except the orange flecks from a carrot, however when they dry they do have whiteish bits, but i don't think i'm overdoing the bone, she does have the pet mince which does contain a bit of bone and then a chicken drumstick three time a week, would you cut down on bone intake, or will her poops always dry with a whiteish tinge is she is eating bone.

Sorry really digusting question.

I think thats totally normal and another good side effect of Raw
Poo like the days of old

my lot had lamb last nigh for the first time and this morning all produced black ones - I can only assume that as there was plenty of blood with it it was that. They seemed to love it thought. Chicken & beef tonight

all perfectly normal, u mentioned in an earlier post there had been no change in her coat, this may take a good few weeks b4 u c a drastic change, the body will detox over a period of time, Bailey's coat changed from smelly scurvy to a gleaming coat over a period of around 3-4 weeks, u will c a difference eventually, stick with it u r doing really well

Day 7 and we seem to have had a bit of a blip, she is still fine with eating, had a chicken drumstick for tea and she is getting better at chewing it and breaking it up....however she pooped 4 times yesterday, once through the night whch hasn't happened in almost a week, hoping it was just a one off....however did have a question she was on antibiotics last week and they seemed to help with her digestive problems now its not feasible to keep her on antibiotics forever but was wondering if pro-biotics may be an option, just thinking to help boost her 'good bacteria', can i add live yought to her food?
Its chicken chunks and vet for tea with her first bit of liver.

LexiLou, I'm really finding your diary interesting and helpful. I'm going to be giving Poppy her first taste of raw tomorrow.

As for yogurt - yes, no problem at all. Poppy has it to bind chicken/rice or fish/rice and I hid her medicine in a spoonful too as she loves it and just laps it up out of a little bowl. I buy Yeo Valley organic probiotic natural yogurt but any will do, just don't buy a flavoured one as it will have sugar etc. in it.
