Starting to see changes!

The most noticable is their poo is now white and much less in amount!..This is a good thing according to our son who is the clean up crew in our family!..
Also this morning Doc showed signs of less itching and the shedding is starting to taper off.

The boys have TONS of energy and are enjoying each meal.

Fixing Meals

I went to the store today and purchased several packages of Liver, heart, chicken gizzards, pigs tongues, and pigs feet at a cost of around 11.00. I added a package of beef steaks, a whole chicken, a green ling cod(white fish). and about half the bag of dehydrated veggies(around 15.00.)
In less than two hours my son and I had 20 days worth of meals prepared, labeled, packaged and in the freezer in about two hours.

THIRD Day

Again the boys slept until 7:38!..Both woke full of energy and Doc patiently waited in the kitchen for his next meal!.
This morning I'm going to try my own "slop" mix of elk cut up, re-hydrated veggies, bone meal and wild salmon oil.
At first the boys took a taste and then tried a taste from each others bowl just in case they like their brothers meal better!..I had to hand feed a couple of bites and that was it..They licked the bowls clean.
I have noticed a significant amount of shedding starting last night. I think typical in any diet change. Doc is still itchy, but we hope to see changes soon.
I will be going to the local market today to look for chicken necks, small fish and organ meat which are all highly recommended so that they can have a mix of different proteins.

Second Day

Normally the boys wake between 6AM and 6:45AM. I finally went and woke them at 7:35. I dont know if this had anything to do with their first feeding, but if it does a little extra sleep time will be great!...
Wyatt woke full of energy, his usually happy go lucky self. Doc woke still seeming very tired. He is usually very itchy in the mornings and continued to be so today.
With thinking to break them into the new feeding gradually I had planned to feed them kibble at one feeding and raw on the second. I placed the kibble out this morning and they both sniffed it and then proceded to look at me like "are you kidding me?"...SO Raw this morning it was and they happily ate every bite!..They will be getting two patties each per day as per the recommended weights on the package.
Soon we will see just how much they enjoy their Mommas homemade Raw with Elk and veggie slop!..

First Batch of mixing

Yummmmm - Elk, dehydrated veggie/fruit slop, bone marrow, and to top it off when serving Salmon oil!..
So because I'm still learning it took me about an hour to prepare a weeks worth of meals, divide and freeze. I'm sure with time I will be able to do this quicker. But for now I continue to read and adjust the ingredients.

OUR first MEAL!

Today is the Day and an exciting moment it was in the kitchen! After months of debating and loads of reading we have decided to switch to Raw. We've been feeding Canidae with great success but Doc continues to have itching issues. That along with reading the Raw feeding it just makes sense that dogs would thrive on this type of feeding.

I've set up this blog so that you can follow them on their journey from leaving kibble to going ALA natural!..For now they have started with a purchased Raw beef by Natures variety - this yummy little patty the boys where very excited about!... They will be getting that for dinner and kibble for breakfast. I have already "mixed" their first batch of Elk/veggie yum yum! As I continue to read and learn about this diet I will post my thoughts and the boys progress.
