29th May 2014 | two month anniversary on RAW

Snowie started raw on 29th March. So she's been on two months. Her switch was a little difficult. and her detox was really long. the tears, the shedding, the smell!!!! argh! i'm happy to see that tho..

We've started our third protein. Duck. She seems fine with it. i can't wait to do offals.

The obvious change is smoother fur. more energetic, and a surprise i found yesterday when i check her teeth. such clean and nice bright teeth. If only i have a "before" picture! you'd understand how a happy mother i am!

 She used to have really bad teeth. Brownish, black stain on gum with tartar. Her vet did warn me to watch for her teeth as it will affect her heart as well(she have heart murmur). i was so worry i put her to scalling last year. and i brushes her teeth with orozyme. that was when she was still on kibble. The tartar quickly build up after the scaling. it only lasted a month of clean teeth.

Slowly she starts having aweful breath. I've never smell something that bad in her past 11 years. when she pant. The whole room was filled with her bad breath.

2 weeks after i switched her to raw there's no more bad breath. (i even brought her to the vet regarding her breath, the vet find it normal for an old dog.)

This is a photo taken a day before.

I know many people still do not like idea of raw feeding theirs or "ours" (u know those people) dogs. i also know the fact that the theory is not backed by a scientist or researcher. but how much do u know about kibbles too? the pedigree commercial says "scientifically proven pet food". and all i see in their ingredients are corn, fillers..

your dog's diet is your own choice. i do have friends coming to ask me how to switch to raw diet. i gave them my advice but at the same time i asked them to read more online. Some people are really lazy to read. they just want to try. but don't you wanna know how to do it the right way? and how to feed it balanced? i always offer to send them the starter guide so they can read it briefly. but they want me to spoon feed them. Seriously??? i don't mind giving an advice or two AFTER you've read something. if you're that lazy to read up. i suggest u go back to what u've been feeding.

Lots of people wouldn't do their own research and end up blaming the person who taught them. and blaming RAW killed their dogs! which in fact, they are the one who killed their dogs. so READ!!!RESEARCH!

Lastly, i'm not a "Raw advocate". just another owner who wants to give the best to her own baby. If there's something even better than raw. i don't mind trying. but if raw helps to keep my old gal healthier. i'll stick to it. i guess all owners out there are the same. and i hope they are the same.

Cheers,
Happy Owner Yi <3
