I've been researching RAW foods for dogs, I am considering making the switch. I've met 3 dogs on it in the past few weeks, and all of them looked amazing: soft coat, clean teeth, nice muscle tone,…Continue

justine moeller replied to Nicole Murphy's discussion RAW Foods"We feed raw, with great support and encouragment from our vet. Vets are often educated in schools which recieve funding from pet food companies (ex: Hills) and therefore do not recieve an education outside of what these companies want to provide.…"
Nicole Murphy replied to Nicole Murphy's discussion RAW Foods"LOL, I completely agree. If you look at the main ingredients in food sold by vets you will almost always find corn within the top three (most of the time it's the first). Corn is a carb that turns into sugar once in the body, and we…"
Samantha, Daxter and Seeka! replied to Nicole Murphy's discussion RAW Foods"I feed both of my dogs a raw diet, as close to a "prey model" as possible. They rarely get any fruits or veggies, and NEVER get any grains! only animal muscle meat, bones, and organs, and they are both doing AMAZING on it!! Daxter (my…"
Emily Trupiano replied to Nicole Murphy's discussion RAW Foods"How does it make wild dogs sick though? Or wolves? Isnt that what they eat in the wild? ..Not that i feed raw,but i guess there are risks with both. I mean even kibble isnt foul proof,they are recalling food all the time. I work at a vet,and…"
Emily Trupiano replied to Nicole Murphy's discussion RAW Foods"I fed my last dog Natures Variety Raw, he had pancreatic insufficiency disease so he had a hard time digesting his food. He did do better on raw. Do be careful with bones. My last dog also died after eating a rabbit in the backyard. Everyone assured…"
Nicole Murphy replied to Nicole Murphy's discussion RAW Foods"Thank you for your postive response about RAW diet. Its so encouraging knowing that there are others out there feeding RAW. I looked into Nature's Variety, but with my two big eaters it was alittle out of my price range. I ended up finding a…"
Nicole Murphy replied to Nicole Murphy's discussion RAW Foods"I'm sorry it has taken me so long to reply. Thank you so much for all the helpful information. I am going to do more research on the Whole Prey Model. I've started Gracie and my new pup Riley on a "mix" diet. They are free…"

I'm so happy to see people enthusiastic about feeding raw. Last time I…"
Ellen Andersen replied to Nicole Murphy's discussion RAW Foods"I don't know if it would matter in your case, I seem to remember but not positive, that some Therapy Dog certification organizations (perhaps Delta?) won't certify dogs feed on a raw diet. I don't know if you're…"
Rachael & Waffle replied to Nicole Murphy's discussion RAW Foods"Their poop on a raw diet is so great! When I feed Waffle his Honest Kitchen, his poops are so big I can barely hold them in my hand... though a plastic bag, of course. I have small hands, but it's still a very sizable amount of…"
Rachael & Waffle replied to Nicole Murphy's discussion RAW Foods"I have heard of it happening, so I thought I would include it. I have never read any first-hand accounts of either problem, though, just vet techs on forums posting hear-say... the bone could have been raw or it could have been a cooked bone and the…"
Peggy Woods replied to Nicole Murphy's discussion RAW Foods"Rachel has done a lot of research & is a model "raw parent"!
I am also feeding my dog raw & have done so almost his entire life. I have to travel quite a distance to get to a proper butcher, so for the most part I use the…"
Beth replied to Nicole Murphy's discussion RAW Foods"We met a raw-fed Sheltie at the pet store (breeder, feeds only raw) and I must say that the dog didn't look to have a better coat, teeth etc than most of the pets I see. I have heard how fabulous raw-fed dogs look, BUT remember that most…"
Rachael & Waffle replied to Nicole Murphy's discussion RAW Foods"I feed Waffle a [mostly] Whole Prey Model (WPM) diet consisting of 80-85% muscle, 10-15% bone, and 5-10% organ. The diet is fed at 2-3% of his ideal body weight. I set up a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet which lists the ranges of the…"

- About Me:
- I am a full time student preparing for vet school. I do not own a corgi, but am thinking about adding one to my small family. I do how ever have a dog, her name is Gracie. Gracie is a four year old terrier/lab mix that I have had since she was 8 weeks old. Even though Gracie is four she still acts like a puppy. She enjoys playing Frisbee, going on long walks, playing at the beach, learning new tricks, and playing with other dogs. I have been researching breeds for the past year trying to decide on a friend for Gracie and I. I think I have narrowed it down to one of two breeds, either a Corgi (both Pembroke and Cardigan, appeal to me) or a Dalmatian. I'm hoping to learn more by reading blogs and talking to corgi owners, so that is why I have signed up to mycorgi.com
