Hi,
I changed Humphrey to raw when he was about 7 months after a groomer suggested it would help as his coat was dull and scurfy. She told me I'd notice in a difference in a fortnight, and that turned out to be no exaggeration. I have to admit, I did find it a bit daunting at first, as with all things, there are some people out there who like to treat it as a science in itself and make it more complicated than it is. There is a facebook group called Raw Feeding UK run by a lady called Ann Ridyard - if you're not on fb, just google her and you'll find information that will give you a food overview and explain how you work out how much and what you should feed. A lot of her hardline followers DIY it and, in my humble opinion are a bit OTT about it all - however there are some very good well balanced ready mixes available which I know a lot of people on here use (I don't live in GB, but have used them on visits and have been very happy). Infact, if you decide to just stick to those, you don't need to lots of research but I just think the more you understand of the concept, the easier it is to make your choice. It is basically, the most natural way for a dog to be fed and has loads of health benefits. As already said, there are quite a few of us here feeding raw (and, it has to be said, lots who don't but also have happy healthy dogs), so if you've got questions, you'll get lots of advice. Best of luck!
