ice, ice baby!

Food on ice, that is. Frozen food... RAW food. I did some researching yesterday and spoke with other dog owners and decided RAW was the way to go! Some people even said their dog's problems completely cleared up after switching them to raw food.

I went to Global Petfoods yesterday and bought Nature's Variety in Venison, which is supposed to be the most easily digested. I got a big bag of the patties, and a smaller bag of the medallions. Preston will be eating about half a patty and one medallion per day. I also bought some Activia yogurt which has probiotics. I'll feed him a spoonful of that a day. The big bag cost $28.99 and the small bag $15.99. With about 15 patties and 30-odd medallions, that will last a month. More costly than the Eagle Pack kibble I had been buying, but less costly than the Eagle Pack canned food, I think this is a happy medium and I'm also quite pleased that he's on an all-natural diet. I feel very strongly that dogs need meat, veggies, NO GRAINS, and need to eat like their wolf brethren.

I will buy another bag of a different meat in a week or two, and mix them up for some variety.

THIS MAY BE THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF THE PROBLEMS! If his problems clear up without surgery or lengthy medicating ... it will be due to the food and I will promote it EVERYWHERE!
