I've read up on the BARF and raw diets. I'm making the switch this weekend. But my question is, for Lily who needs to put on some extra weight, how many times a day should I feed her? And how much should I increase the percentage? I want to do this right. I'm excited to start, but I don't want to deprive her or overfeed her.

Hi Lilysmom! I feed raw to all my dogs (not BARF per se but a diet based on lots of research). How much does Lily weigh and how old is she (I guess a breed would be helpful too). I can't really tell you what to feed but I have guidelines based on weight and breed. I can also tell you what I feed to my newfies and my bratty bear dog. That should get you started.

I would love to know what you feed your newfies. My is just 11 weeks old. How early can you start them on raw?

You can give a dog raw the moment it is weaned from its mom...both my dogs are raw fed, My CO came to me on raw and my CAO i switched over to raw as a pup

Thanks for the input Babs and mognewf. I got all I need to start now and feel somewhat confident in what I'm doing. lol. :)
