Another question

I don't know if this is related to the raw feeding actually... but...

Victoria used to have problems with eliminating in the crate ALL the TIME... even if she had JUST done her business outside, if we were gone for 20 minutes her crate would be a mess too.

Since we started the raw feeding she has not had one single accident in the crate? Think it's related??

Needless to say I'm pleased as punch.

I'm glad to hear that Victoria is no longer eliminating in her crate. I would like to think that it is another advantage of feeding BARF. It could be because the stools are usually much firmer when they are on a BARF diet and they don't usually eliminate as often. It could also be that Victoria has just grown up and can hold it longer. How old is she?

She is a little over 8 mos, and we've had her for about 6 weeks. My daughter still sees the previous owner's daughter at school.
The previous owner's daughter had a COW when Amy said we were raw feeding Victoria... LOL... she said "But she has to eat Gravy Train... it's the best food for her!" hahahahahaa uh... no.

I am very pleased with the progress we've made and I do have to say that I think it is related to feeding rather than age... 2 short weeks ago she CONSTANTLY had a mess in her crate...she has not at all since we changed her diet.
I'm hoping this is just another one of the positive side effects of feeding a raw diet.
