Feeding Raw

Loads of links.

These are links I've gotten from others, and a few I stumbled across myself.

Raw has been really easy for us. I feed fresh ground flax seed & Sunflower seed for Omega 3 & 6. I give them the Yeast fighter product that Ii previously bought. It includes enzymes & probiotics. I grind egg shells for calcium. I occasionally give yogurt, cottage cheese, pumpkin for tummy when they have loose stools (which isnt very often), and Bel gets occasional veggies. Blu does not.

Links copied from a local Great Dane Breeder & member of DOL.com

Bel took to raw like white on rice. She has stopped destructive chewing & doesn't tear apart her toys anymore.
We feed raw at less cost than it was for 5 star kibble. Now that's an incentive.

Cycle

Bel started her cycle a week after her birthday. She JUST finished. It was aweful at times, but once we adjusted to her constant complaining & need to be ON you, we were able to make it through.
Enjoy the photos of her in her various undies.
