Two years (after two weeks) :smile:

Started with grocery store shopping only and plastic freezer bags. After second dog (give or take 1.5 yrs ago) graduated to wholesale purchasing (darn limits on sales) and plastic containers :biggrin:

So not very long, but I've enjoyed and learned, and dogs love what they eat (well... organs and fish with some tricks).

 

Oops, skipped the poll.
Maybe I'll wait for now and click the "2-5" after three weeks :wink:

 

I think you are close enough!! I kind of had a nefarious purpose for this poll, too. I want to see who has been doing this a long time. I didn't know you had been feeding raw that long. I think you are an old hand!

 

March will be the start of our third month on raw.

We've been smooth sailing from the start - I'm proud of Eevee and myself, haha! She's done great on every protein I've thrown at her. She's got that iron puppy gut. :wink:

 

Erm.. 2 days??

 

I think that's fantastic. We have to start somewhere!

 

Well technicly since 2001. However I stopped 2 times when I moved and got lazy. I went back to raw in 2009 when my cat was diagnosed with VAS. I wont be going back to kibble.

 

I've been feeding Treasure raw for 2 and a half years! Rocky and Amp are almost 4 months!

 

I seriously can't remember. I know it's 2 years at least, could be nearly 3ish, who knows?

 

We started at the beginning of october soooooo almost 5 months.

 

We're almost at a year. We started last March. Interesting you posted this because I feel like in the last month or so Deeken has really fully completed the transition. He's been pooping less frequently, and suddenly transitioning to meats much more quickly.

 

Only 2 months, but it feels SO much longer! lol After 6 weeks of harassing everyone here with all my questions and George issues, I think we're finally on track.

 

I'm still a newb at almost six months! Even though the only one getting 100% raw now is Kai. Everyone still gets at least one raw meal a day

 

Going on 11 years....4 dogs strong ! Diezel, Piper, Earl, and Daizy,,(RIP Daizy).

 

I think I'm going to post a follow up poll. How many people/pets have you converted?

I think everyone should be encouraged by folks like you and brandypup. And Bill, who is not here any more, has been feeding raw for over a decade. It proves that it is sustainable over time, that dogs are healthy on it, and that it's not a temporary fix but a permanent change.

 

My ferrets have been on raw for a little over a year, my cat has been getting partial raw since last March, she was on canned so I just slowly fed more raw and less canned, maybe 6 months on full raw. Jersey-dog, been on raw since Dec. 19, 2011 so not long. It is definitely encouraging to hear of long time raw feeders.

 

My guys have been raw fed since Dec 19th also

 

In march it will be a year

 

oops. i need to change my vote. we are two years. so i should have polled 1-2 years.

 

Malcolm started raw in early October. Lila started a couple of weeks later, once we finished off the last of the Acana - she lost ALL her puppy teeth within a week of each other, so I worried about her ability to crunch bones toothless. Knowing now that xellil's Snorkels gets by with four teeth means that I probably wouldn't have worried so much about that...

 

We started feeding raw on February 7th, 2011, so just over a year now

The second pic in my sig was taken as Miko was digging into his first piece of raw chicken.

 

Since just before march, but he quit getting anything but raw on March 11th... I'll never look back! :thumb:

 

Avery's foster was feeding him ground raw before I even took him home. She convinced me to give it a try, I wasnt comfortable with it at all but she talked me into it...I am so happy she did!!! Didn't look back once.

So Avery and I started PMR together in August 2010, I knew nothing about what I was doing. Joined this forum and initially hated it (don't remember why) but I came back and I'm happy I did that as well because I learned so much more about how I should be feeding. *the people I was learning from do a lot of ground and many only feed one protein*

 

5 months

 

It's been a little over a year. Darla was doing well on kibble and transitioned easily. She is just an easy keeper. I feel like I am just now finally getting a handle on what Quinn needs. I have only had Jasper 5 months. He is doing pretty good but is still alittle thin and has a bad coat.

 

It's officially been over a year now for my 3.

 

A little over a year although I started with pre-made and switched to PMR in March 2011 .

 

I said a month, but ya know its only been about a week I have been on partial raw off and on for about a year though haha. Anyhow I am curious to know too. I am already wishing I had another deep freezer..I just dumped out all the drinks in the fridge and put the milk from the deep freezer in it (if I wasn't holding it for a friend I would have pitched it too, no one in my house drinks milk...well aside from the baby and breastmilk lol but I cant pitch that)

 

yes, me too. My outside freezer is 100 percent dog food. My fridge freezer used to have one shelf for dog food, but now it's totally filled up except for half a thing of garlic bread.
