Encourage your dog to finish it once serve as raw food is not advisable to be placed in room temperature for hours. Just like normal meat, left uncooked outside.

QUOTE(A-Note @ May 14 2012, 11:56 PM) should i just change his diet from kibbles to barf straight? :/ Im kinda worried if he doesn't like it and leave it.... and i also scared he puke all over the place in my room especially my bed -.- he loves hanging around on my bed U can try switching him gradually rather than straight away change it to BARF. For pups who never taste BARF before, they might not like it at first, but after a few times, they'll go crazy over it. Added on May 15, 2012, 12:03 amand i see your maltese... there are like literally no tear stain... how do i remove them? its becoming a huge problem for me for my puppy  the tear stain non stop one i wipe away d tmr appear again  How old is your pup? Tear stain can be caused by several factors such as teething, ear infection, stress, etc. Health N Shine only solves tear stain which is caused by red yeast bacteria which caused the tears to be red and eventually turn brown/black. Other than that, daily eyes wiping is also important. |

QUOTE(mfak0511 @ May 27 2012, 10:17 PM) she just ate right now..i found out that the problem is the odour of the food, the smell of vegetables is stronger than the smell of meats Good that your cat is eating now. BARF for cats is different from BARF for dogs. Cats are carnivorous, they eat more meat compared to dog, tend to be more fussy too. Do some online reading and you'll get some idea. right shes eating fine |

QUOTE(Jo1603 @ Jun 10 2012, 11:47 PM) My JRT is 1.5 year old and weight about 7kg. Hi,How many gm of barf should I be feeding him? Thank you. Feeding guideline is 3% if you want to maintain his weight. 3% of 1.5kg is 45gsm daily. 3% is a guideline, u can re-adjust (add or minus) if u find him too thin/fat after consuming for 1-2weeks. Considering your dog is an active breed, it might need more than 3%. Hope this helps.  |

QUOTE(Jo1603 @ Jun 10 2012, 11:58 PM) Got it, thank you. Perhaps u can give him when he's hungry. If usually u feed him in morning, try skip the kibbles and feed raw instead. Add in raw eggs too perhaps.I tried giving him raw meat, he sniff and walk off ...how to make him want to eat  He only eat raw eggs...and boiled lamb bone with herbs... Fruits and vege also picky, certain types only he take. Any tricks to make my boy want to eat it daily? Will boiled lamb bone be too hard for your dog? We don't encourage feeding cooked bones for dogs. If u have the time, u can try grind vege n fruits and mix with the meat. |

QUOTE(Fitrah @ Jun 12 2012, 03:25 PM) "Recipes! Everybody Wants Recipes – But Why??? Well said. People have been brainwashed into thinking that a recipe is needed to make natural homemade pet food. But, making wholesome homemade pet food is mind boggling simple. Recipes, as a result, only make the process unnecessarily complicated. Natural homemade pet food requires a maximum of three things: 1. Raw meat 2. Finely chopped vegetables (optional) 3. Some nutritional supplements, most important of which is calcium Today, you are going to learn the basic principles and guidelines to making natural homemade pet food and how to mix it all together – without recipes! Recipes are very restrictive. If you don’t have one part of the recipe, you can’t make the meal. Plus recipes are always complicated – you also spend too much time measuring. Oh what a hassle those recipes are! The principles and guidelines that I will teach you will provide you with freedom. The freedom to relax, the freedom to have fun, the freedom to use what you have – and ultimately, the freedom to spend more time loving your pets." |

Similar to me, for my medium and large breeds, I take out the frozen meat late at night and leave it in room temperature and feed them early morning. As for toy breeds, I give them grinned ones, so I de-froze in the morning itself.

There are pros and cons for both raw and processed food. For my dogs who had been fed with raw chicken for many years, so far their blood test no problem and they rarely fall sick. Raw chicken I can make sure I grind the whole chicken which means more balanced but if you were to feed beef, the concern will be which part of the meat? How do you grind the bone? There must be solutions, perhaps you can research more on that and share with us.

Agree. The reality is most vets are not equipped with knowledge of raw feeding hence it is difficult to rely on them regarding raw feeding. I believe at the end of the day, it is the real life experience that counts. Do more research. If you find that most of the raw feeders do not complain about dog being infected by these parasites through out the years of feeding raw, then perhaps the risk is low. Of course, if you find it otherwise, then it should be a concern. Do the same research for kibble feedings, you can find more extensive information since kibble feeding had been here for a long, long time.
Again, pros and cons. Some of my dogs are being fed kibbles, there is no one diet that is good for all. |
