Thanks Susan. I will definitely read these books. I DO want to know more than one side. That way I can make a decision that makes sense to me, and I'll have a foundation of information that might explain problems down the road -- and a way to solve them. > by combining > kibble and raw, especially if you only feed raw > meat, is that you are > upsetting the nutritional balance of the diet. > Therefore, if you want to > combine a kibble diet with a raw foods diet, I would > suggest that you feed > the two separately, i.e., Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun - > kibble, Tues, Thurs, Sat, > raw.

I was combining them in the same meal, and Teddy seemed always to be a picky eater (he wasn't picky when it was only kibble). I think he may have had a pretty constant upset tummy, because now that I'm feeding only raw/NO kibble he's his original foodHOG self. Oh, so much to learn. I just wish it wasn't so much trial-and-error. Hence my desire to READ! Thanks again, Robin McLeod Minnesota __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
