Hello! My family and I are the guardian home for an eight-week-old pure breed Bernese Mountain Dog. The breeder of the dog wants us to put her on a raw dog food diet, but I don't know where to start. Any advice and tips would be so helpful! Thank you!

I've got two dogs that I've been feeding raw for a few months now, a purebred Westie (4 yrs old) and a Cairn terrier mix (9 yrs old). They've both been eating a variety of raw meats and bones, to include chicken, beef, pork, fish, turkey, and duck, plus green tripe and organs. They are both...

Ok, so I think I have decided to take the plunge and go RAW! But I was just wondering about why exactly everyone says to give the dogs chicken as the first meat? I wanted to start with turkey, and then got worried because of all of this chicken talk. So, why is this the most suggested form of...

Hi there! I would like a little guidance because I am completely new to raw feeding. My grandmother's Scottish Terrier, Sophie doesn't do so well on kibble. Right now we have her on this crap vet kibble and its the only thing she can handle because its basically made out of rice. Anyway, we...

Hi there! I'm new to the forum. :) We are considering putting our Scottish Terrier, Sophie, on a raw diet. I'm really nervous about feeding incorrectly because I know that an improper raw diet can be even worse than kibble. Could someone show me a week sample of a feeding schedule for a 25 lb...

Hello, Today was our first day of raw feeding. Our pitbull Tyson loved it!! He did get diarrhea, which I know is normal. Just wondering if anyone has tips, pointers or advice for first timers. Thanks!

I plan on traveling with my puppy. I plan on raw feeding as early as possible, however I'm wondering if there are any complications on traveling with raw food. Raw feeders, whenever you guys go on long road trips with your puppy, how do you store your meat? Specifically whenever you stay at a...

I hope this is the appropriator section to post this in. Sorry if it isn't! My husband asked me a question that I couldn't really answer lol. So he wanted me to ask you guys! Are there any demonstrated differences in the health benefits of Prey model compared to BARF? I'm not here to start...

I hope someone can help us. We've been feeding our black lab mutt raw food for about 4 months now. And about every other month she breaks out and we are back to the vet to get her allergy pills and cream for her red ears. We found a butcher that saves us scraps and sells them to us at $0.40...

Hello to everybody! About 5 weeks ago friends and me found 5 puppies (according to the vet a medium sized mixed-breed) that had been set out on the side of a road. We have been taking care of them, since bringing them to a shelter here in Romania is no option. But we can't keep them, since we...

This may sound very strange, but I'm 100% sure that one of my adult dogs has grown slightly in the month or so I've been doing raw. He's a rescued Beagle that a friend and myself were responsible for getting his dam out of a very bad situation. She was visibly malnourished and whelped her pups...

Hello, I am new to this thread but so far I'm enjoying what I've read. I'm very much interested in the idea of raw feeding my (future) dogs but I had some questions as to how to feed many dogs. I've noticed that many of the members here have multiple large dogs that they raw feed so I think I'm...

Hi All, I'm the owner of the above site. I started it after 20 years of working with dogs and learning about their true needs through objective research, experimentation and extrapolation from larger principles about the conditions which produce health in living organisms. It's nice to see so...

I first started feeding raw somewhere around '01 and continued to feed an entirely raw diet for the next 3-4 years. Due to my getting involved in hunting, then later showing/breeding, and with the rising cost of meats in conjunction with my growing number of dogs, I discontinued the raw and only...

Shirts are finally here! Prey Model Raw Tshirts! The best part is you can customize them as much as you'd like! Costs ended up being a little higher than I wanted but the shirt quality is higher (they do have a "basic tshirt" you can order for a little cheaper. There's a bunch of shirt...

Would anyone be interested in writing for the PMR.com blog? We sometimes struggle to come up with articles on our own and I'd LOVE to inject some fresh perspective into the site. Topics wouldn't HAVE to be strictly about raw feeding (but I'd prefer to keep them mostly on topic). Thoughts...

Hi! I'm new to the forum and hoping to soon introduce my four month old Doberman pup, Bonnie, to raw. However, I have a few concerns regarding cleanliness and disease from raw meat. I understand that dogs are well-equipped to deal with things like salmonella; however, humans are not. My...
