raw

Hi all, My new addition, Joni, was on antibiotics for two weeks for skin infections related to allergies as well as some interdigital cysts that were starting. Meds seemed to take care of it all! She's been off of them for a week, and I came home from work to this: It looks BAD!!! And it...

Hi everyone - doing research like a crazy woman on the raw food diet and came across a couple of companies that do air dried raw (BDN (Big Dog Natural) and Bravo). Sounds way less messy to me. The BDN company air dries and ferments and to me that sounds great because I ferment food at home...

Just wondering about dogs attachment to one person in the household. George has recently begun to want to lie on the couch (in the last week, no interest before that) but he will only cuddle up to me (by cuddle I mean he sits as close as possible with his head on my legs) he will not lie...

I have an English Bulldog, Dixie, who is 4 years old. I have had her since she was 12 weeks old. Over the past two weeks, Dixie has developed very irritated skin. She has had a hot spot or two in the past, but this is most of her body. She has rubbed a raw spot about 5"x5" on her lower back...

I got home last night and my husband doesn't tell me until we are getting ready for bed that Fezzik ate about a 1 inch raw onion from a sandwich. Even though we never feed him from our plate except maybe the occasional raw fruit or veg he has taken to launching himself towards us while we eat. I...

I'm working w/a behaviorist to find a cause for Walter's aggression issues… as many of you already know. What is interesting about Nikki is that she looks at the ENTIRE picture of the dog, food they are eating, supplements, environment, etc... I have been feeding Walter Fromm's from the...

Not sure if this is the wrong forum but I buy raw from a co-op here in the Houston area and grind my own then form into patties like you see in commercial raw. I am trying to find a good supplement I can use with raw. Do any of the raw feeders have any suggestions?

Edna joined our family probably about 2 months ago, and we've fallen in love with her. On day 1 I didn't know any better and bought her Iams puppy food. She LOVED that food and devoured every single bite with every feeding. But her body didn't seem to like it nearly as much as her tongue...

I have a 5 year old female that has a ton of issues from day one. but so far after alot of research and hard work I've got 95% of them under control or fixed. She is on a raw diet that is all meat no carbs at all because of her yeast issues. The problem I keep having that drives me nuts is the...

Hey everyone! It's been a few weeks... El Chapo is now 10 weeks old! We didn't follow through with feeding him raw and switched him to kibble so he's eating Nutro Lambs blend for large breed puppies. We are in the process of house-breaking which is posing as a small challenge probably more-so...

I still see dog owners buying "rawhide" for their dogs. I do believe these owners have no clue what's in rawhide and just plain clueless. So, for the ones that really have NO clue how rawhide is made, maybe after reading this article i fell on and well explained, you go walk around the house...

As some knows I took Nyala's pee for analyze cause she was peeing often. Yes I said WAS :) This was Thursday and I never saw the vet as he was in surgery and just came out to test the urine sample gave it to miss bootcamp. The boot camp warden secretary came out after 10 mins with the test...

Hey Bulldog Buddies( I just thought of that) Lol, what are you all feeding or would you recommend feeding an OEB puppy. The breeders sent a bag of Diamond Natural for large breed puppies... But I'm wanting to switch him to raw, I fed my AB a mix of kibble and raw, I was a teen and didn't know...

I am usually posting here my bulldog problems but today I am delighted to say we are having a real breakthrough. Raw feeding has settled a lot of issues, for example George was always quite phlegmy on kibble his tear stains were very brown also, since the change he has no more phlegm and the...

Hello everyone! I'm new to owning a bulldog and have learned so much from this site, but I need some opinions and advice please.

Hey everyone! We just purchased a beautiful Olde English Bulldogge boy! I am wanting to incorporate raw with dry "kibble" as this is the way both my rottie and American Bulldog were fed while I was growing up(not too long ago), in addition we'd add an egg to their meals maybe 2-3 times a week...

I may be a bit premature with this post but I cleaned Georges Tail pocket today and he was ok ish with it. He fell asleep a few mins later and after around 5 mins he jumped up and started squealing and twisting around as if to chase his tail. It was a noise I had never heard him make before it...

I switched my dogs from raw to kibble when I got Dukie, because I was concerned about Dukie not chewing food completely. Now my golden is eating Dukies poop! Ugh!!!! What to do?

I'll try and get picture later ....Brosco has pink and looks raw between his paws on front two legs. Has anyone else experienced this? I put some neosporin in between his toes. He doesn't act any different of favor them when you touch his paws . It just looks more pink and raw compared to...

This might be old news already. Taste of the Wild has a new kibble. It's called Taste of the Wild Pine Forest. First two ingredients, venison and lamb. I know venison is healthy and very lean. My dog gets raw scraps when we process our deer. He licks his face in delight.:P

I currently have Goob on Wellness Core Ocean. He was on Nature's Instinct Raw Boost Lamb and Venison for about six months but I took him off of it a little over a month ago. His ears were getting VERY dirty, very quickly. He started scratching at them so much that I thought he was developing a...

Hi my Broly 10 weeks old happen to swallow a piece of a raw hide treat, maybe a strip of 2 1/2 inches to 3 inches, not sure it got all soft after he chewed it all up. It was one of those that are rolled up like a pencil for small dogs, our friend got it for him. I was suppose to watch him and i...
