raw

hi, i'm new to Sphynxlair. I have a 6 month old Donskoy that I am going to start feeding raw. Ground beef and chicken with turkey necks. Can I just give him a daily multi vitamin to make sure he is getting all his nutrients? It all seems so confusing!

Hello all, Thought i'd ask a few question regarding these new meal i'm trying on Sassy. Firstly, when i had Sassy she had already been pooping loose stools and was given dry food by the vet. That was when we were in London. But i brought her back to my hometown here in Brunei and its gotten...

Hi there, I'm thinking of feeding my future Sphynx kitten Primal raw for 2 main reasons: cutting down the poop smell/issues and for overall health. Would you recommend this brand? It looks easy to prepare the portions and seems nutritious. What experiences have you had feeding this to your Sphynx?

Any tips, information, or "things I wish I knew before starting a raw diet" would be supremely helpful. Also- I don't currently have a grinder- can I supplement with bone broth for now? Thanks!

So when I picked Toothless up from the breeder she warned me that she was a picky eater. I didn't think anything of it, Elfie was already on raw and I knew that the transition may be slow but that we would get there in the end. What I didn't count on was just how STUBBORN this kitten was going...

It's done! Until a revision is necessary :p I'll always place a date in the footer to hopefully avoid confusion. Any way... here it is: Raw Cat Food Information (the PDF *updated 6/4/17) and the accompanying Excel Spreadsheet. Thank you, everyone, who helped make this document...

So, after weeks and weeks of stress of Jack not properly eating his raw diet ... I have given up and switched him back to kibble and canned cat food. Yesterday was day 1 and he was SO happy to have kibble to crunch on. I'm sad because I also had to change Rosie's diet as well (even though she...

Yes, me again.. with yet another question. SHOCKER! :jawdrop: In the extreme likelihood that I will be picking my boy up on Saturday, and will be mixing my raw food this afternoon, I have some questions regarding storage and adding extra supplements. I will be using Bitr and Alnutrin. I have...

Hi there, Wondering if anyone can help. I've always fed my babies fresh boiled meat and fish or tinned fish I spring water as recommended by the breeder. They have royal canin biscuits which they've always had so nothing has changed. Sometimes they get bouts of diarrhea which they stand in and...

Found it at a super price, and just wondering if it's an appropriate protein to feed? I use the BiTR mix. Thanks!

I’m considering starting a raw diet and am trying to figure out the logistics of it all. If what I’m figuring is correct, this seems WAY more expensive than what I’m currently feeding. However, it’s entirely possible that I’m way off base here…. Help please haha I have 2 adult cats and will be...

My girls have been eating Merrick both dry and wet food for the past year and a half. Aside from horrible smelling poop, there have been no issues. They both love it. However, I'm having trouble finding the food now. I think there may be distributor issues? I've been considering raw or perhaps a...

Well, i know many other members live in different countries. But right now in Australia, it is Spring and by the weather it looks to be a very hot summer. I know animals can get heat stroke, and some can die from it. At the moment my Cleopatra SoftPaws doesnt seem too bothered by the heat, but...

Hi all! I've had some issues with my little girl and have gotten great advice and tried many things within the last few days...now I have more questions! Haha! I started feed my 5 month old girl more food in hopes to stop her constant meowing. I feed Natures Instint raw 3 times a day and also...

Hi guys! Just wondering how many people feed Nature's Variety raw food? I have tired a few different kinds of their meat choices with my girl. She came to me eating a homemade raw food and over about a month or so I slowly switched her to the nature's variety. She loves it! I tried the chicken...

Kojak has been eating a raw diet for several weeks now and adapted to the change in diet with no problems. I'm using Better in the raw and a high-end ground turkey as well as ground chicken from time-to-time. My dinner plans this evening involves roasting a chicken. I thought this would be a...

I have seen people asking about this a few times here. I was doing some reading and found the following article which I found really interesting. Quite long but definitely worth a skim. This applies to feeding them at the same time (ie. mixing or free feeding dry while feeding raw)...

As you guys know I'm trying to make the switch to raw and the first step I'm taking is getting the babies used to scheduled eating and eating canned food. I'm feeding them Wellness Grain Free Chicken in a can only. I feed it three times a day, they're not happy about it at the moment lol. They...

I have finally decided to make the switch to raw for Bane and Fluffy. I have plenty of extra time and I have done lots of research. However, a lot of the blogs I have read seem to contradict themselves. Some say not to feed cow and pork, while others say to feed cow and pork. Then others say...

Simba's eye is taking another beating, third time this year. This time it looks weird. I don't know what's wrong with his poor eyes but every few months they inflame and swell. I attached pictures of what it looks like today. Last time he started sneezing and his eye swelled like the last time...

Hey all, I've been ordering from hare Today Gone Tomorrow but now the heat is back in South Florida i'm trying to find place like that in Florida so the shipping would be quicker without costing me a kidney to pay for the 2 day shipping :) Anyone know any places like that in Florida? I've...

I got my first sphynx exactly one week ago. He's great, and I love him! I did a ton of research before getting the breed and so diarrhea was something I expected, on raw or not.. My dog has been on raw for some time. I make her food myself, as I do Pierogi's (the sphynx). Diarrhea and upset...

I see that a number of folks feed raw iam curious about this. I would like feedback on why you feed raw and what benefits you see, also why is it that those that feed raw say that kitties poop doesn't smell? I feed a good brand of wet food that doesn't break the bank and their poops are formed/...

Hi! I know I asked a similar question before but how much raw food should an almost 6 month old kitten be eating? While I love the fact this raw diet has completely solved any of Oliver's digestive issues, I find him frequently hungry ( or at least he is pretending to be!). I am feeding primal...
