Finally starting RAW! - Day 6

So today's the day, have been to the RAW food shop this morning and we are starting at tea time. The lady in the shop was really nice and helpful  I'm excited and scared!!  

This is whats on the menu this week, mmmmmmmm!  



Wish us luck! xxx

Good luck!

Good luck saz

Lotsa luck Saz!

You don't need luck! I would lave to switch just haven't the room, how did it go down...........literally

Lucky Daisy I assume they are for Daisy  Good luck hows it going  

Did daisy enjoy her tea saz? Xx

love their shop, did they tell you you can take your dog in?

I am so surprised, she ate it no hesitation at all! So pleased    And so far she's kept it down   

No Ella, they didn't say, going back next week for phase 2 so maybe I'll take her down with me!

Yay, well done Daisy Glad it went well and looking forward to the next shopping haul Saz!

So wish we had a shop near us! Hope it's going well  

Well day too and all good, first poo and it was solid yay  

She got really excited about her tea, seems to really like it!

glad she's liking it

Definitely take Daisy with you next time, we always take the boys

Oh there is another raw food shop in sheffield if you didn't no it's:

Real Pet Grub
Jericho Works Holme Lane, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, S6 4JR

It's behind towsure through their car park the do loads of different things, and some nice treats

Ah cool, thanks Ella, that's not far from me either! Thought I was lucky having one shop close but 2, wow  

better4pets is supplied by MVM and pet grub by DAF but between them theres a good variety

I'm feeling a lot more confident now, I really thought it would be a battle of wills at first to get her to eat it (after the first bone drama!)  

Sure it won't all be plain sailing but its a good start  

That's great saz well done daisy

Your turn next! Hows Darcy getting on with her raw bones?

Quick question, do dogs on RAW drink less water?

Doing really well saz, been having a chicken carcass for tea some nights, funny got myself in a tiss worrying about her getting the right amounts  then my mind spins

If memory serves me yes saz, I'm sure Ella has said there is moisture in their food, hence they drink less

Brilliant, just go for it!  

The people in the shop I went to were really laid back about all the ratio's much like Ella is, and said people often give up because they over complicate it for themselves!

I wondered about the water because I thought that Daisy hasn't drank or wee'd as much the last couple of days.

Day 3 - another solid poo  Not much else to report!

Sounds like daisy is doing fab saz

Yeah so far so good  She is at my mums today and I have stressed no biscuits and explained why just hope they stick to it

glad she's doing well

Thanks Ella

Yip, they get a lot of moisture from the meat. Where I used to be filling water bowels after a couple of hours I now just top up, really.

Glad it;s going so well Saz

Thanks Lisa

Day 6 - one solid poo each day so all has gone well with chicken.

Daisy also had her first dried pizzle! Haven't managed to get her to eat the dried tripe though so I'm guessing there was actually no tripe in the sticks I used to buy her! Oh she's also had dried lung too! nom nom  

Back to the shop tomorrow for next weeks meals  

nom nom

Sounds like it's all going well so far Saz, how much do you think it is costing per week, if you don't mind me asking that is ??

That's great saz

Not at all, about £5/6 for the food and dried treats so far  

Sounds like its going well
Blue hardly drinks water. So probably common. the cats drink more water than him.
