Newbie to Pets.ca and seriously considering RAW

[WinstonsDad]

With that said, I thought I would start here with a hello to everyone.

As with many other posters, I spent hours reviewing these RAW threads and have learned quite a bit in a short period of time. Thanks to all of you who share your knowledge with us.

I don't have any legitimate questions as of yet that can't be searched, I am however copying and pasting all helpful info onto a word doc., which I will try to make sense of later.

Actually one question? Damn, I lied to you already lol

- With the initial week or two transition, I gather there is no immediate concern for the Omegas? Just chicken at 80-10-10 ?!


Cheers,
Chris

I would agree with that, though my dogs like the oil so much that it is an enticement to food. It may work the same way for you...

[WinstonsDad]

Thanks for the reply.

I haven't ruled out salmon oil just yet but...I was thinking in terms of the time it will take until I can get him onto fish.
Are you thinking I should simply add some oil onto his chicken right from the get-go?

[Macomom]

Yes. I take one big bowl and just put all my RAW ingredients into it. So for instance, I will take two turkey necks and put it in with a cracked egg (shell included), 2 tbsps of oil, some acidepholus and maybe some yogurt or a fruit and veg if I have it.
I combine this with a supplement which includes some vitamin E and away you go..
The oil will entice my picky eater to pick up the meat on bone and begin to eat. I find it helps them get in the swing of things. For my second meal, I will feed them a ground meat with the offal.

Sorry I realized my post was confusing. To be clear- it will not be the end of the world to wait on the oil, if for some reason it poses a challenge- cannot find it, forgot to buy it etc.
I find the oil so simple to add and an enticement, that if you are just worried about change, I would say, don't stress. My dogs have loved every omega oil I have tried, including a hemp derived one

Thanks Macomom,

Another thing to consider but nice to hear positive results, such as yours.

Cheers
