Hi every one Mia is now 7 months Shes on a raw diet with jwb with a few a bit of grated carrot and other veg
she used to eat 3 times a day and it was gone straight away but lately shes only haveing one bowl a day usually

and is her normal mad self shes wormed and drinks plenty of water just a little concerened as her food intake

When you say raw diet with jwb, is that dry Jen? And are they being fed at the same time? What aid the basis of the raw that you're feeding?

Do be careful mixing raw and kibble - they have different digestion rates so it can cause an unhappy tum Smile

The jwb and raw have completely different digestion times, and shouldn't be fed together, so this may be making her a little uncomfortable. Is there any reason why you've continued with the jwb and not gone straight onto raw? Especially if she doesn't like it.. I'd donate the rest of the bag to a rescue centre and just feed raw personally.

I totally agree with rach, get rid of the kibble and feed complete raw. Smile at 7 months once a day feeding is probably ok, I feed twice a day but I know lots who only feed one per day Big Grin

No problem Smile Which raw bits is she being picky with, just out of interest? Biscuit doesn't like raw chicken and won't touch it! She's happy with all other animals though!
