3 year old minpin in our home, always had issue with dry skin, scratching and chewing etc. Tried every high quality commercial food on the market then finally said to heck with it.
We started in on the prey model a month ago, and haven't looked back. Started off with chicken backs with the bone as it's the easiest to digest. Fasting is important as the digestive rate of commercial food is different from raw. There's alot of water in raw, you'll notice your dog won't drink as much.
Found out his issues were due to chicken allergy, and possibly beef so he's off those foods for a couple of months. He's currently on a diet of rabbit and bison with organ meats thrown in. No more scratching, his dry patches are gone, fur is growing back and his skin is amazing soft, like a brand new dog.
Wouldn't hesitate to put another dog on a raw diet. As long as it's done right, all is good. We are still trying to find a good holistic vet, current one is sort of ok with it but keeps trying to push the hydrolyzed science diet for his allergies, and it's not happening.
