I'm still considering the raw food diet for Milo. I like the sound of the raw chicken carcasses, organs and bones etc from the butchers. The more I read the more it makes sense.

I was wondering though how do you manage it when you go away on holiday with your dog for two weeks or if you leave them in kennels??

I think kennels would be fine as you'd just give to food to the kennels, on holiday you could take some with you then I guess you may have to buy some extra bits from the supermarket while you were away  Smile

Haha you could always call to ask? Someone might have done it previously!
What I would do is put all the meat/bones into seperate meal packs and then they know exactly what to give each day.
As for holidays, obviously over a few days without a freezer might be difficult Big Grin but how about an ice box? Or revert to supermarket shopping for a couple of days! Atleast you know you can always get the dog food brand you need Wink

When we go on holiday I just bag up her meals in individual bags and freeze them. I'm sure kennels would be ok Smile

I only give Bacchus the chicken carcasses/meaty bones etc for 2 meals a week. I feed Natural Instinct and am very fortunate inasmuch as his breeder ( Aunt Emma ) takes him for his hols and he lives indoors. I just supply his food and she keeps it in the freezer.
