Feeding Raw

Loads of links. These are links I've gotten from others, and a few I stumbled across myself. Raw has been really easy for us.

I feed fresh ground flax seed & Sunflower seed for Omega 3 & 6. I give them the Yeast fighter product that Ii previously bought. It includes enzymes & probiotics. I grind egg shells for calcium.

I occasionally give yogurt, cottage cheese, pumpkin for tummy when they have loose stools (which isnt very often), and Bel gets occasional veggies. Blu does not.

I hope this info helps you. The benefits for us are out of this world. Blu lost all his nasty dark wirey hair only for it to be replaced with shiny, soft, lustrous, steel blue hair. He has gained weight regularly. Stool is firm, small, & turns to dust within a few hours. His systemic yeast infection is gone. He no longer stinks, and has a bounce to his step. As I mentioned prior, he gets NO veggies. We chose this for him because the yeast feeds on the fruits & veggies. Perhaps when he is "normal" we will introduce them.

Also- we feed raw at less cost than it was for 5 star kibble. Now that's an incentive.
