Hi Diana Great to hear they're doing very well with raw!

I guess fish is not for every dog. It's not necessary to feed fish if they don't like it, but maybe you can try it again later. Sometimes they change tastes and might like it later. I usually just feed fish that are high in Omega 3's (sardines, salmon) to balance out the Omega 6's from chicken. If your pups don't like fish, you can give them fish body oil (it's the same ones we get from health food stores - capsules) as a supplement to try

I've tried both local and imported for mutton. Beef from Australia is too expensive... Local beef also getting quite expensive (I think I've only found bargains for local beef once or twice so far), so I usually get buffalo meat which is cheaper I don't really freeze it for a week though. Because I buy quite a lot in one go, sometimes the meat gets frozen for a week or more, but from what I've read in the group, it's not necessary to freeze one week before feeding. Same goes to pork I WOULD freeze wild boar meat a little though because of the possibility of trichinosis, but a good friend of mine (who feeds raw too) thinks that wild boars are no different from farm pork. She doesn't freeze her wild boar meat, so I guess it's up to your own preferences

When you transition them to other meats, do it like the commercial dog food way. Feed a little of the new meat with most of the meal the meat they're used to. Over the next few days, increase the percentage of the new meat and decrease the 'old' meat until you have successfully fed them a full meal of the new meat. If they don't like the lean pork meat, perhaps you could try lamb or mutton first coz the meat smell much stronger than pork? Or if all else fails, 'tough love', or sear the meat a little first, then gradually decrease amount of searing? If I remember correctly, was it Santa who will have gastric pains? Not very sure how to handle more picky eaters, coz both Scottie and Kenji never gave me any problems when feeding raw :S Hope that helps you a little bit
