i really struggled with ollies eating he is very fussy and i have just put him on raw food and he loves it, wish i done it sooner  :D

Off topic, but is his skin still better? Hope so, he was looking so much happier in your last pics. :D
Is the raw food helping his skin too? :huh:

I'd like to put Jarvis and Lucy on raw, but will have to wait and see how much kitchen space we have when we move... They'd have to have their own freezer. ph34r :005:

Its nice to see them tug in isn't it? It never fails to amaze me how they automaticly refer to a natural feeding positon. Also our 15 year old Cocker might be blind and deaf but his teeth are still bright white - having said that, part of it is hereditary.

Greetings,

I've been working really long hours including at weekends and ran out of food for Paddy - so he was on NatureDiet for 48 hours.  By the end of day two, his poo was liquid - literally dripping (sorry to be graphic but it's pretty shocking, I think).  BARF pretty much (with the added help of Penel's homeopathic vet, Mark) cured Paddy's colitis and I was shocked at what two days of ND did to him.  Eyes gunky, smelly breath.  And he passed wind for the first time in a year (or at least the first time that I've been able to smell it!).  He also got that awful manic hunger, pestering with true desperation for food.

Poor Pads. 

Back on his raw diet and within three days, back to normal.

Go, raw food, go!!!

Our dogs have a combination of BARF & NatureDiet (fortunately it doesn't have the explosive effect of Denise's Paddy on Spike & Domino!! ;)) again not mixed together.
