Well Here we go

We tonight was our entry into the world or RAW. After having done the research, at least as much as I could, and doing some shopping I fed Maggie her first RAW meal tonight. I didn't know if I really believed that you could find chicken for really cheap, but I got some leg quarters for $.49/Lbs. I thought wow, not bad. Maggie took a little while to warm up to the idea, about 5 or 6 minutes, but then she seemed to get right into it. She didn't like being confined in the kitchen to eat, but I knew she would run all over if I didn't, and I think I was right. We are not going totally RAW, at least right now, because my Fiance isn't up to it. She will let me do it when I feed her, which is once a day, but the other time, at least right now, she refuses to do it.

Anyways, thought I would announce, thanks for all the advice on here it really helps.

I am doing the same thing with my dogs. I taught them to stay on their blankets while they eat. When they are done I wash them out in a bucket with bleach and water and then hang them to dry outside or I put them in the dryer if it's raining. ( I mean the blankets, not the dogs...LOL) Bailey digs right in to the chicken backs and Lucy slowly picks at hers. Lucy can take over an hour to eat hers. I am trying to get weight on Lucy so I feed her kibble in the morning and raw at night with plenty of snacks inbetween. I haven't noticed any big differences in the dogs yet except Bailey's breath is much better.

Glad to see you're trying the diet. I'm sure your fiance will come around once she sees no one is going to get ill.

Barrett, How long have you been feeding half and half?
