Yup! When I first learned about raw it changed my boy so much!!! Now with my current pup, he’s only been seeing the vet once a year or for this pesky tail. The doctor today actually said “can you believe some people will actually feed duck necks to their dogs?! They can’t digest that!” Little...

The only reason I needed to see that vet was because of the tail amputation, his incision opened up (I could put 2 fingers in it) and was bleeding. Other wise I’d be looking elsewhere. Thankfully, my regular vet has no objections to raw :) I also try to tell people about the recalls with...

Hi everyone!! I’ve been feeding raw for 6/7 years now. I love it! I’ve never had an issue with it (other than the odd time off too much bone) and neither do my vets. However, I’ll always run into people who lecture about the bacteria in raw and how it’s not as beneficial as it seems [emoji849]...

***2nd Update*** I had to bring him back because his incision was leaking way too much. I was cleaning it twice an hour and they said to clean it twice a day. The doctor believes there’s an infection so we did another culture. His first culture post surgery came back clean, so I’m hoping this...

Still dripping a bit. Doctor said it’s normal for the first few days. I’m keeping an eye on it and dabbing off the blood. He constantly wants to sun bathe, which he never does, but maybe it’ll help his alopecia! Haha thanks for asking!

Thank you! He’s home now. Dripping some blood but he seems in good spirits. It makes me nervous to clean the area because I don’t want to aggravate it. But I can’t wait for him to feel better and not itch his poor bum anymore. Edit: The surgeon said his pocket was so deep, there’s no way it...

**update** He had surgery today, his tail pocket was very deep, but the doctor said it went well and they’re keeping him overnight. I can’t wait to have him back home. Thanks again everyone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They’re beautiful!!! Congrats Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

YES! Do raw, I started 7 years ago with my first boy and I haven’t looked back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you!!! Will it be as effective without a towel? There’s no chance he’ll let me wrap anything around his whole body. Also, do I only put it on the bald spots? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He’s been on raw since he was a pup! He doesn’t get fish oil, but eats smelts/sardines/mackerel often. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi guys!! Has anyone’s dog had flank alopecia for over a year? My dog started to get it last summer. It was getting better in November 2018, then got worse in’s December. He still has the one spot and is now developing it on the other side, back, and near his shoulder. I know it’s not...

It’s not my vet doing the surgery, it’s at a surgery hospital, so they’re not breed specific but he’s said he has done this surgery before. My city’s humane society uses this hospital for the animals as well, so I’m not too concerned in that aspect. I’m more curious to know if anyone’s bully...

Thank you! I feel long term it will be beneficial, but the doctor worried me when he said it might not fix the problem. My dog’s tail pocket is cleaned 2/3x a day but the wipes/gauze never come out clean. My other option is to see a dermatologist, but my vet said that the dermatologist told him...

Yes, but instead of Arborvitae I use Cypress I believe? For raw he eats beef, pork, duck, and fish. Different cuts of meat (cheek, neck, ground, heart). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
