>>> Hey Helene. Way to go to getting your cats switched over to raw food! I've

got my two dogs switched over but just don't have the energy to work with our

poor cats! That being said, I do believe another suggested Craig's List, which

I second! I've got a local friend who has placed an ad, stating she will take

freezer-burned meats (emptying a freezer? too much left over?) and I'm

benefiting from it as she calls me when she's got too much. I've yet to do it

myself, but even talking with the local butcher might find you some scraps to

use...

Good luck

>>> Hey, Meagan. I'm in Washington state but there are lots of raw feeders

online that share ideas so it's not surprising you see the same wording in your

neck of the woods...

Hi Meagan. I raw feed my dogs. It is really " easy " as they are big dogs; I

think I'd not be so excited if they were smaller dogs and needed smaller

" meals " . Their " bone " meals are based on a chicken quarter with liver, fat and

boneless meat (beef, pork) added in. Then sometimes they get a nice rib to chew

on. Amazing how happy my dogs are. Their teeth are even noticeably whiter and

the tartar is gone!

There are raw feeding groups on . I would stick with the ones that feed

like Bee suggests: if grains are not good for humans, they can't be good for our

dogs/pets. My dogs have proven that. Mine get no grains, no veggies or fruits.

But I appreciate your waiting till you're up and running on the pgm yourself. I

totally overdid it when i began raw feeding my dogs...way too early (in to my

following Bee's pgm myself), so it was very overwhelming!! But i just couldnt

continue to feed them kibble, seeing the degeneration happening in my older lab.

She fairly jumps now for the chance to take a walk in the snow!
