Hey guys! I just wanted to introduce myself and say thank you! I've been lurking for awhile now and just on Sunday I switched my boy over to raw. He is doing fantastically and other than blowing coat like crazy and goopy eyes(which are to be expected) I think we're headed in the right direction. My boy was getting on and off ear infections, acne like crazy, and unpredictable stools. I went through kibbles from Innova to the grain free Acana line. My gut however was telling me that his issues were diet related. I finally bit the bullet and made the switch and I swear his ear and face already is looking better. I'm hoping that we're headed in the right direction and the improvements continue.

I spend hours daily reading posts here. Learning all that I can as this whole switch is very unfamiliar to me and I am still a bit uncomfortable with doing it right.

Anyway...enough of my rambling. Thanks to everyone here for being so open, honest and giving great suggestions and advice!

Thanks guys!

Here are a few photos of my boy. He's one of three at home and the one that pushed me to raw with him. For now the others will stay kibble fed as they're doing wonderfully on it and I want to be able to concentrate on just him for now.

This is CH Mysticals Beyond the Limits aka Paxton. He's just 15 months now and has a ton of growing and filling out to do yet...he's taking his sweet time :p

Thanks guys! I'm loving the results that I've been getting already. I hope that it continues. I have 3 bullmastiffs(two are my show dogs and one is now retired and living the life as a therapy dog). My boy Paxton is what pushed me to the raw. He's just 15 months now and has a ton of growing and filling out to do. He's taking his sweet time which is fine by me :)

I'm attaching a few photos. The first is one of Pax is in June in Canada at a dog show. The other one is one of all three together at the beginning of spring.
I really appreciate the warm welcome and am looking forward to being here and learning a ton more.

Thanks guys! Tomorrow will be a full week and I am really happy with the results already. My dogs are all bullmastiffs. I own 3 of them and am the home to the occasional rescue who needs a place to live while on their journey to their forever home. I tried attaching picts but it won't let me. Says my posts need to be approved.

Glad for you, your dogs are so beautiful. We started raw 3 days ago, so it's nice not to be alone.
