One hour to eat. Well, that puts things in perspective around here. Tuffy can take half an hour on a little piece of turkey neck. 100 grams, I think that's about 4 oz. He's missing a few teeth and seems to always have had a weaker chewing action than Toby. Toby is done in 10 minutes.

Dumb question I guess, I'm assuming that as dogs eat more bone their mouths, jaws, gums etc all get stronger? So theoretically, over time they might eat faster?

My Australian Shepherds and **** Hound can go through a chicken quarter in a couple of minutes.

Time really isn't the problem.. it's just with everything going on right now I just can't really commit and we need to desensitize everyone to raw so we're doing that with the Grandma Lucy's until we go all raw.

​Yea, like was said earlier the most time consuming part really is the organizing issue. Packaging it up, separating etc... True raw does take some dedication to that part for sure.

I've fed both The Honest Kitchen and Sojos to my dogs. Both are dry, dehydrated foods that you just add water to and serve.

I love The Honest Kitchen as a company, love their ingredients, love the variety of formulas, etc. One of my dogs loved it (she'll eat anything), but my other dog, who I was buying it for, just picked at it.

I like Sojos as well, just not as much as THK. Sojos is also a local company (made in the Twin Cities), so that gives them points in my book as well. Both of my dogs eat this very well.

My two boxers ate Honest Kitchen as a raw alternative while they were at daycare over Xmas - they did just fine

I figure that it's now as good as PMR, but better than premium kibble, on the dog food options scale. It also works well for my friend's bulldog, who is allergic to kibble, when some family members INSISTED that you cannot feed a dog raw meat.

i fed my two honest kitchen before i committed to raw. i got a box of free samples and each package was serving size for my minis. it looked like watered down oatmeal and i couldn't tell where the actual meat was. all i saw were the veggies. their fish sample was very fishy but the others ones didn't smell like their protein source. i was on another forum and there was a debate on whether they could honestly call it raw based on the temperatures they had to use to dehydrate.

did you take a look at the myths of raw feeding yet? that usually helps. but i've been feeding my dogs raw since last june and still get questioned by my family as to why the heck i would want to do it.
