Low Residue Diet
|
|
| What is a "low residue" diet? What are you trying to avoid? |
| According to the vet it would be a diet you'd put on a dog with IBD (Irritable Bowel Disease). It has very few ingredients, no corn and very easy to digest. |
| When I read that makes me thing less or small poops. Raw diet will do that and then you know what you are feeding as well. |
| You are right - less and smaller poops. Would you recommend a raw diet? One person I talked to thought it would be good but seems like so much work if I could give her something that was more like kibble. |

That was my first thought, too  Raw does make it very easy to control exactly what they are eating. It can be time consuming at first, but over time it becomes quite routine. |
| Not time consuming for me anymore, thaw and serve. |
| What do you use? Where do u get it from? |
| Not sure where you live but you can check your local butcher. Sometimes you can find companies that deal with raw food. Right now I drive into the city and by from a Meat Market Here is an example I have been getting there food here now: http://www.gatewaymeatmarket.com/ they have a dog food tab up top click that. I feed a lot of the food on there except the beef bones they will chip teeth. But I give them whole ribs of lamb. Here is a bases: 80% meat, sinew, ligaments, fat 10% edible bone 5% liver 5% other organ meat Usually what I do is every other day or more; meaty bones, once a week organ mix, the rest of the time meat, pork, beef, chicken, heart. Usually you just watch the poops. If the get to hard and powedery too much bone, too loose more bone.  My female is 7 and male 4 and there teeth have no build up. http://rawfed.com/myths/ |
