OC Raw Dog

I've been eating pre-made raw for a while now. My pawrents put me on it cuz they think it will be better for me than kibble. Of course I love the pre-made raw! I would eat it over kibble any day of the week! I've eaten Bravo!, Primal, and OC Raw Dog. I cannot say which one is my favorite because they are all so delicious! I only ate Bravo! for 2 weeks, before my pawrents got Primal. They tried Primal for about a month, and this lady named Carrie who my pawrents always buys my food and treats from gave my mom samples of OC Raw Dog. Ever since then I've been an OC Raw Dog!

According to OC Raw Dog, here are 10 reasons why a Dog should be a RAW DOG!

• No More Messy Poop Pick Up
• Significantly Smaller Stools
• No More Room Clearing Farts
• All Natural
• Chemical Free
• Preservative Free
• No Animal By-Products
• Dogs Love It
• Human Grade Fresh Meat & Vegitables
• Dogs Eating How Nature Intended

OC Raw Dog is also a local company. They are based very close to where I live and my pawrents decided to switch me to their food to support their business. Not only that, with the money they save from switching me to OC Raw Dog they have more money to buy me treats and toys! Yay! The other week I saw my mom calculating how much my pawrents have saved each month by switching me. Comparing Primals' chicken formula to OC Raw Dog's chicken formula my pawrents save about $22 a month on my food! My mom hasn't calculated other formulas yet, but she says the price Primal charges for formula other than Chicken & Beef is a bit pricey compared to OC Raw Dog's. Of course Primal has more selection, but OC Raw Dog is just as good and we are supporting smaller and local business! Plus, it's yummy and that's all that matters to me!

My pawrents says if any of you doggies or doggie pawrents are in Southern California to check out OC Raw Dog!

Back to Basics

"Why would you feed your dog that?" is what I hear a lot when someone asks me what I'm planning to feed Mika. Mainly my family, asking me what she's eating, asking if I feed her dog food. Well, isn't most human food dog food anyway? Many people (and myself included at one point) didn't realize that dog food wasn't actually made until the 1930's when they had to find something else to do with the food that was rejected to be used and sold on the market for us 2 legged beings.

So what exactly am I feeding Mika? Right now she is still on kibble. She currently eats California Naturals No Grain formula to test for allergies. Her eyes do not tear as often, but I still have to wipe them a few times a day. This morning she got her first pre-made raw turkey patty (see pictures below).

She is very food driven and gets excited when she sees me get her food ready for her, but today when she smelled that raw turkey patty, she went nuts! I could barely get her to calm down to get her food in her bowl. I hope to keep her on a raw diet since I firmly believe that raw is the best diet I can give to her if I want her to live a longer life. I also want to keep her on kibble since there will be times in the future where I may need to go somewhere and cannot take her with me. Having her on a half kibble, half raw diet will be beneficial for when I may need my family to feed her if I end up not being able to feed her.

So I feed her some raw, what's wrong with that? Before the 1930's how else did dogs get their food?

New Menu

When I got Mika, she had really teary eyes. Took her to the vet the next day and the vet said she's fine there's nothing wrong, that the tears are most likely from stress from traveling. It's been over a week now and she's still teary eyed and I'm having to wipe them constantly. The breeder fed her Eukanuba before and I was feeding her Wellness Just for Puppy. Took her to this very nice pet boutique shop and talked to the owner and she suggested I get a small bag of California Naturals No Grain Formula to test for allergies in the food. Going to see how it goes this week with her and see if those tears clear up. I just feel bad for changing her diet again. Wish us luck! Hopefully we can get down to the bottom of what's causing her to tear! I hope it's just allergies and not an airborne disease.
