Good point about factory meat vs kibble
So when you give beef bones are you just getting what you would for making stock?

No the bones seem to be even lower quality (nice and meaty though) - but its from a cow we bought on the hoof (1/2) for our freezer, and I asked the processor to keep all the off cut bits and pieces.Dace said:Good point about factory meat vs kibble

There was a recent study done which linked asthma and allergies to poor gut flora. Probiotics would likely help....perhaps just some kefir or plain yogurt on a regular basis. The thing with yogurt is that the beneficial beasties are transient....meaning they only help digestion as they are passing thru the system. Kefir on the other hand actually colonizes in the gut to fight of pathogens and boost immunity.Shiloh Acres said:But something I am wondering ... Not sure if anyone can answer this. I've been thinking for a while of switching the dog and cats to raw. I used to feed my animals homemade food when I absolutely couldn't afford to buy for then. But my pup now ... He's about 8 months old, weighs around 90 lb, and has recently started having digestive problems. His current food is a commercial chicken, rice, veggie kibble with no corn or by products. I think he's lacking enzymes. His stomach stops all the LOUD weird noises when I give him a broad-spectrum enzyme capsule for humans. I have to give him 2-5 times a week. He even had a few "accidents" in the house though he is well-trained. He just needs to be allowed to eliminate quite often.
Thanks!!!
