Thank you for watching my videos! This channel is dedicated to animal education and improving the lives of captive animals.
Here’s little about me!
My name is Meghan Arriola and I live in Texas with my husband Jaime, where I dedicate my time to taking care of exotic and domesticated animals on my farm. We run a rescue and sanctuary for animals like alpacas, birds and reptiles. I do animal education presentations for groups and schools. Our alpacas also do events where we are able to teach people about these unique animals. I have used service dogs for medical needs for over 10 years and I am an advocate for assistance animals and mental health awareness.
I am an animal educator that brings science related ideas to an audience from around the world by presenting fun and interesting topics in a family friendly way. Animals touch our lives in unique ways everyday as simply being our pets and companions, but how can we make their lives equally as special now that they live in captivity? My RUclips channel and blog explore ways to meet this goal by tackling things like animal behavior, human-animal relationships and veterinary medicine. Animal science is a great way to teach people of all ages that education is fun and nerdy is cool.
My previous animal related work experience includes working in veterinary clinics, private zoos, training horses and volunteer work in wildlife rehabilitation, rescue/foster/adoption programs and therapeutic horsemanship for children with disabilities.
When I am not working with animals, I am working at the health care clinic owned by my husband Jaime and I, where we provide services to low income, minority neighborhoods. We have been on the frontlines fighting covid19. I also have a passion for art and I am an award winning painter and photographer and published author. I am naturally very introverted but I am extroverted about sharing my passions and doing my part to make the world a better place!

You clearly put alot of time and care in to your dogs diets which is amazing. I've been learning alot about raw lately and the only suggestion I would make is to use stainless steel bowls Instead of plastic because the plastic is porous and can absorb bacteria. Likely wont cause a problem but better safe then sorry ❤
Julia Skinner
Than*
Lol safe then sorry has a completely different meaning when u spell than wrong
Julia Skinner We have for years used old Pyrex glass mixing bowls ....so easy to clean ....it slows the dogs down from eating so fast too as it slides away from their tongue ....they have to chase it around the bowl
Dougie Quick 9
Yup
Your dogs live the best life... wow. I would love to feed my dogs like that but meat isn’t cheap.
You can try a premade raw food, our buy in bulk... bulk obviously has its discounts and some companies will offer a discount if you feed a certain quantity. We feed our 5 great danes raw and it costs us less than good quality kibble. We pay at max $2 a lb for standard meats (chicken, beef, pork, duck and fish) but usually just over $1... and a little more than $2 a lb for more exotic meats. (And I'm talking in canada so America would be even less)
Here, even the lower quality kibble like pedigree are over $1 per lb and my dogs could never retain weight on kibble without over eating... which cost more. A high quality kibble is like $3 per lb... and they maintain a healthy weight, and aren't hungry as often... plus I have less poop to clean up, and I have saved thousands on vet and dental bills. So if you take the time to break it down it is not only cheaper but the benefits are worth alot! Try joining a fb raw group and seeing what others in your area are spending and where they are sourcing their product!
I spend 12-20 bucks a month for a 70 pound German Shepherd
@@abbyturner710 me too! Well I have two dogs so double that.
@@abbyturner710 we have 3 German Shepards so it is always expensive to feed them. We also have a lot of other pets so our monthly cost for everything is $50+. This is not a raw food diet
We feed our dog premade patties most of the time, it costs us 60-120 A month depending on what kind of meat (chicken is cheapest, bison & rabbit are more expensive) which is comparable to how much we used to spend on kibble- and he doesn't have any of the same stomach issues!
Hi person scrolling down in the comments. Have a great day!
thx
Trinity Nickel Thank you for replying 😃 Have a great day
Trinity Nickel Thank you so much! Have a great day!
Nice! =) Have a great day, Isabella K!
pi_ beta Thank you!
Just putting this out there, BARF isn't just a name but an acronym for Biologically Appropriate Raw Food. Its not a specific diet plan or anything but kinda like a rough overview of appropriate raw feeding! Love this video and i hope to see more from you!!
Oh thanks for letting me know. I guess where I've seen it it wasn't used appropriately
Except that grains and other plants are NOT species appropriate for dogs/wolves. They would never eat them in nature unless starving, indirectly whilst spilling the contents of the stomach and intestines or to induce vomiting.
They still could have come up with a different acronym cause it really is idiotic
@@jessegarrett2843 Sup acronym police?
@@-whackd ya thats right
I just love how you took your time in showing us alot of meals. Leaving them unmixed is going to help me remember the ingredients. I feel more encouraged to continue on my journey to feeding my dogs and cats better meals.. thanks!!
I feed my two raw every day, I think what you're feeding is great but I would add liver and some other type of organ into their meals daily, its a natural multivitamin for them xx
I think at the time she was transitioning her dogs into the diet. I’m sure she’s done more research
This has been very educational for me, I always thought all chicken bones were bad for dogs, but I never knew that it was just cooked chicken bones.
Cooked chicken bone should NOT be given. Same with cooked fish bones ... not for dogs. My boys ate canned salmon, on Sunday, most of the time, as it was a lot less expensive. than fresh.
@@NolaGB that's what they said
Just some of the physical benefits of a raw dog food diet can be as follows:
Cleaner teeth and fresh breath
Better weight control
Improved digestion
Shinier, healthier skin and coat
Reduction of allergy symptoms
Harder, smaller, less smelly stools
Increased mobility in older animals
More energy and stamina
Strengthened immune system
Improved liver, pancreatic and bowel health
Savings due to less trips
@Fomosapien Did you get this information from a channel called “Animal Watch?” Also, I would like to point out that you said “Savings due to less trips.” instead of, “Savings due to less trips to the vet.” 😉
Those dogs are so lucky to have someone like you as their owner!
Definitely keeping this in mind when I get my pup. Thank you for this I love your pets and vids!
Totally agree there is to much drama with feeding, you do the best you can for your pets!!
This is so true! Every dog is different and there isn’t just one way to feed them. Love this video 😊
I think one thing I learned from this video is that we should use facts and not emotions to know what’s best for our pets because though it looked kind of gross, it’s good for them
I feed 6 out of the seven of my dogs raw. My eldest dog who's 15 eats frozen dried. There names r rosie, jasper, Luna, addison, olie, taca, and basil
Lol when luna just ripped out her squash "on to the next"
This is the first time I've seen one of your vids and almost started crying when I saw Clark. I think it's Clark, white and grey with ice blue eyes. He is the spitting image of my dog Goat. She passed away in April 2014. The only difference in appearance is gender and leg length. He's a beautiful dog.
Hi, your dogs look really healthy. It's so good to see that you take care of them so well.
Grain free is not necessary for dogs unless they are allergic. I get so excited when people actually ask me why all the kibble are formulated that way, and I tell them they can add their own whole cooked grains!
Why would you feed grains to a dog? They are wolves. Grains are NOT GOOD and are HARMFUL to dogs.
@@lunaflamed dogs aren't wolves. They're dogs. By that logic, humans are primates. Primates don't eat McDonald's. Sounds ridiculous
@@davydoesthings not even close to the same thing. Humans were created by God. We didn't evolve from monkeys!!!!!
Justiceforall created by God or from monkeys either way humans are still related to primates by DNA
@@bendurbin7837 says you and bunk science.
Your dogs are living their best life. I try to feed a mixed diet of kibble and raw. I always try to not overfeed, but by the looks of what you’re feeding your dogs I’m not even close. They definitely stay full! These meals definitely would look delicious if I was a dog.
Just depends on their weight. My dogs are so active that I have trouble keeping their weight up.
This should be a series for all your animals, mainly the common pets.
Right or wrong you have got to appreciate this girls determination towards her dogs! To stick to something and take so much care for EVERYDAY is not sm.many would bother for or be able to stick to... nice job! Hats of to you . Can I just ask, is there anything to make sure raw meat is as sanitary as possible?
I’m a little late, but before preparing 100% on your own I would try out Fresh Pet, so you don’t have to worry about doing it right or wrong
As long as you get your cuts of meat/bone/AND organ which she doesn’t add to her food, but it’s essential that you do to make the food balanced, from a local clean farm and not the superstore the meat will be fine for your dogs consumption. Although even if you feed your dog meat from the superstore, they will be able to deal with the bacteria without a problem since their digestive systems are equipped for it
Hi ... As for meats, my rule of thumb was ... if I can eat it, they can eat it.
@Donna Hejnal
Of course. As long as they're not cooked.
Emmaweebler. I’m not against the raw diet, but must say that I almost lost my Boxer from a raw diet which included organs and green tripe, bought from a good reputable outlet. She was very ill. I also knew a lady who’s little dog had trouble digesting the small bone particles, had blood in the stool that resulted in vet visits. I slightly brown my meat in a non stick pan before giving it to my Griffon. I guess raw works well for some, but perhaps, not all. Best wishes.🤗🇳🇿
This gave me some ideas for foods for my dogs that I haven't tried. Looks like an excellent mix of different things.
In Italy we have separated trash, so organi-with biodegradable bags (also the ones you get from the supermarket are biodegradable). Plastic, glass, paper, and other trash
I’ll obviously be shamed, but my 27 Pound Blue Heeler/Jack Russel mix gets 1/2 cup of premium natural kibble with a raw egg and half a chicken breast and or half a chicken thigh. For my 85 Pound Boxer Pit mix, he gets a whole chicken breast/ thigh, an egg, and a full cup of kibble
I mixed the food too, all kind of meat, kible, rice, all kind of veggy, but I dont give the bone whole, afraid they swallow it and we will get in trouble and have to spend money for vet surgery, so Iam cerefull, chicken feet I chop up to smaller pieces, one of the dog is blind and he swallow everything so fast, because he is afraid the other dogs take his food, and every dog has their favorite food and different kind, some of them like vegetable and rice other than meat.
DollyBear X it’s worked for my dogs, considering the amount of kibble they do get is such a low amount. There hasn’t been any signs of distress, and our vet said that both the dogs are okay and healthy.
Lenny Marsidi yes I was scared giving my dog the bones too, but you have to know your dog. I trust my blue heeler mix, but not my boxer mix, since he will just swallow the bone. Like you said, one of your dogs is blind, so I’d either hold the bone while he chews on it, and hand feed him sometimes so he doesn’t worry that the other dogs going to take his food, because you have it for him
Wow this is actually super informative! I didn't know they could eat those types of food on a regular basis. I saw that you have chickens, and this is the first video I've watched so I don't know if those chickens are where you're getting the eggs, in which case would make complete sense to feed them to your dogs raw. I think since I have to get mine from the store I'm going to try hard boiling some eggs and see how my pups do! Right now I'm feeding them a commercial raw diet from Answers, but I just noticed that by adding a mixture of rice and butternut squash, they're not eating as much grass outside anymore. So I was beginning to wonder if the rice was actually helping them. Thanks to your video, I don't feel so bad about what I'm feeding them...and I'm even considering some fun healthy treats to add in from time to time. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!!
This was super informative 👍 I had to subscribe.
But also I wanted to subscribe so I can watch your videos so I can click the ads that pop up- so you can ger that ads money. Haha bc girl- you def need that money to feed allll of your pets :)
Loved this video! Thanks :)
you just keep it very simple and i love it!
Aww! Loved seeing your fur babies! I have two cardigan corgis as well ❤️
Raw fed for 3 yrs now. My dogs are thriving.
Nice dogs!! I have a mini schnauzer, thank you for making another video that talks about dogs!!
(I love dogs)
These dogs be living the life man
I love that she puts a lot of effort into making sure her dogs get the very best nutritional diet. I noticed as she was showing the different meals she prepared, she was saying how some of her dogs have allergies to chicken and touches the food with the fork that just touched chicken. I know it was unintentional, but you need to be aware of cross contamination.
I just read another comment with the same concern. I understand now that the dog has a food intolerance and not full blown allergies to chicken.
Sounds like what I feed my dogs when I feed raw. You make a great deal of sense! Thank you!
You have more dogs than I do. I have (3) 50 lb dogs.
I've really enjoyed the video! I'm planning on getting a GSD puppy, and you really helped me to understand what a balanced diet is.
Thank you very much!
Recently got a Doberman x GSD puppy... been feeding her raw since then... she's still adjusting to it but she loves her meals... raw meat with bones teaches her to chew her food properly... You might wanna check Chad's channel (1st508th Airrborne)... I learned tons of stuff from him and he really tries to respond to viewers when they have questions...
Your awesome!! Thank you for info!
Oh God, I hope you get more sponsors to help you feeding your dogs , I can barely afford one , my dog's dad never paid me child support...really give you credit for your hard work and determination...
hi! i love your account and would love a "hypoallergenic dog types" video! thanks!
Havanaesse is a good breed along with poodle species
Shih Zu and Teddybear are also hypoallergenic.
There’s no such thing as hypoallergenic. Allergies come from pet dander not hair. Loss of hair or not doesn’t change if you’re going to be allergic or not. 😊
@@randomthatsme1 for my friend it does she is not allergic to my do ghb but allergic to shedding
Are you in the Raw Feeding Community facebook group? I love seeing raw feeding randomly in my feed like this 😆
Awesome video 💕💕😊😊 I love how healthy you feed them. ❤️
I really like your video here. I learned a lot here. And know I must research more on raw food type of meals for dogs.
I feed my dog both raw and kibble because she does best on both, and I will never hear the end of it🙄
I had a dog that if he didnt have kibble in his food, he would have diarrhea. He had some stomach issues. Everyone is an individual
For sure. I just wanted to reiterate what you were saying about being shamed for the food you feed your dogs. Every time I post something about my dog’s diet suddenly everyone else is a nutrition expert.
If your profile picture is your dog than shes adorable!!
taylor hubbard thank you😊
I’m genuinely curious! I want to feed them both as well but I’ve heard really bad things about feeding them both, do you have any suggestions?
At the farm I go to we regularly give our German Shepard an egg. It is either a chicken or duck egg and she loves it! She is 5 years old now but you couldn't tell if you saw her.
My dog had so many food allergies. Spent so much money going to the vets and her medication! Changed her diet to boiled calve liver and raw lamb bone. Best thing I ever did. She stopped her constant itching and her chronic ear infections have stopped!
i wanted to see one of them slurp the egg lol
seeing the dogs eat is fun for some reason i love seeing them eat your food for them lol
YOUR DOGS ARE SO LUCKY!
I do raw and grain. And veggies twice a week!!! I also will smash up the bone with a meat mallet for young puppies, and mix it in there meal. It helps a lot with loose stool.
6:25 Are you allowed to put medicine for your other dog in the other bowl. Would anything happen.?
Omg I just noticed the dogs are eating chicken in front of the other live chickens
😧
And I oop 😂😂
Chickens will be cannibals if you let them what they think is “food is food” that’s why you need to make sure that chicken deaths aren’t common unless it’s of old age. Because of the chicken carcass is left out to long then they will eat it
Hey! I love your dog and I hope those haters go away!
Hey, awesome vid! What is the allergy supplement that you put in Clarke's food? Thanks
I love that your corgis have their tails😄 its so horrible that corgi tails get cut of when they are babies because people think its cuter ...
Thank you!
Nadia Peters,
Not all corgis get their tails cut off when they are young. Most are born with no tail it depends on the breed of corgi. There are two breeds of corgis Pembroke Welsh corgis, and Cardigan Welsh corgis! She has cardigan welsh corgis this breed of corgi has long tails. For example, my corgi who is a Pembroke Welsh corgi was born with a short/ no tail. In some instances, people will remove their tails so they won't trip on them when they are herding cattle, not because they think its "cute". So I hope you consider that people aren't as cruel as you believe and you now know the difference between the two types of corgis. Also, if you are in disbelief than go check out an article on google!
Sincerely,
Me
@@avabogar7764 your entire comment is so incredibly stupid, I'm not even sure where to start. My corgis are pembroke. And about 5% of pembrokes are born with natural docks. A natural dock does NOT look like the corgis you are seeing without tails. You're completely delusional about the whole situation, I guess you blindly believe every lie you have ever been told about corgis. Please educate yourself.
@@HappyTailsAnimals Preach!! Thank you for debunking that bull.
@@eternal.prospect really bugs me too when people think its natural, it does sever a purpose at times, like breeders trying to keep dogs from getting them caught. personally I prefer my dogs whole though.
This looks like it's really good for their teeth and they look so happy munch away ❤️
Hi,Does your chihuahua get a calcium supplement since you mentioned that she couldn’t have bones due to bad dental health?Also I really love how happy and healthy your dogs are.In the future where I can finally get my own pets,I would absolutely love to have them as happy and healthy as yours❤️🐾
Thanks
The way she says “salmon” really struck me
Yea what’s wrong with that
Renee Cloudstar I can definitely see what you mean. I’m on the east coast of America and have never heard it pronounced with the L in the word. Definitely not a bad thing everyone is different. Just sometimes different for people to hear depending where you live.
Ye in Australia 🇦🇺 we say salmon without pronouncing the L
East coast pronounce it without the L, i didn’t know anyone else pronounce it with. I thought it was an English language thing
Rebecca Stuck well she’s from the southwest and she’s a Spanish speaker and in Spanish we pronounce salmon in a similar way she pronounce it. Just like me, I pronounce words that are spelled the same way in both Spanish & English the way you’ll pronounce it in Spanish tho I might be speaking English
You are amazing!
Hi, Happy Tails I wanted to ask where did u get the meat from? (like what grocery store)
Nice to hear from you again though. Thanks for the video. I feel sorry to hear about caspian that he is having allergic..... 😂 but anyway I gained a lot of knowledge about this video... Thank you so much
What brand supplement do you use for them? I’m looking for one that has everything they need for a days worth of vitamins
What kind of supplements are you giving your corgis? They look so beautiful with their take by the way, if I had the say in my corgi when it was born, I would have definitely kept the tail. Awesome video :)
Your dog is soooo cuteeee :33
Raw fed dogs glow with health. Can always tell a shiny coated, bright eyed raw/species appropriate-fed dog from a dull, dry, kibble-fed dog.
Omg that Shepard is beautiful 😍😍
Thank you for this information my dog has cancer, I'm hoping this will help.
I fed her her first raw food meal today.
It was a pound of grass fed hamburger
raw shredded zucchini
two eggs organic
organic chicken broth
and shredded lettuce.
Even feeding her the grain free kibbles that cost more money, allowed the cancer to spread
one day after about 6 months, I noticed that she had even more lumps
so much for it being good for our dogs.
I believe that the kibbles acidify their bodies, which allows cancer to grow.
They eat grass when they are to acidic the grass alkalizes their bodies and gives them enzymes.
Your video was the third one I watched.
The first talked about enzymes in raw food to help the body fight off the cancer.
I know we all need to eat enzymes or our bodies will eat themselves
so it made sense to me what he said, and now I have some ideas what to feed her.
Thank you 🙋♀️🐕🐾🥚🥗🥒🥑
for you or anyone who gives their dogs raw diet, was there a transition period to get your doggo to eat raw? my girl likes her meat cooked, sometimes she'll have it raw. Esp how was the transition for veggies?
That’s a beautiful dog!
thank you.
What powder supplement do you use?? My pups are on a raw diet but haven’t gotten a supplement yet 😊 love your videos!! And your animals! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Give the dogs a small bit of liver as their vitamin supplement.
I'm confused on why you kept poking the chicken and then said your dog was allergic to it and then poked the same form in it
uwu me too lol
Sunflower the dog might not be severely allergic to where it is like unable to breath. but i do agree that she probably wouldn't wanan contaminate it
What do you typically spend a month for your dogs on this diet? I have three large dogs I am trying to convert to a raw diet, but I find that it is too expensive so i'm only doing it once a meal.... how do you save on this? I spend about 40 a month on kibble and then another 50-70 on raw...
so, can you give raw pork rib bones to a dog? ive been feeding raw, but ive never tried pork, because i heard pork is a large holder of parasites when raw.
I feed my dachshund/Jack Russell mix various meats cooked med or med rare and steamed veggies. How do you convert from cooking meat to raw uncooked meat? Does it cause stomach upset if you switch suddenly or is it best to cook gradually less until raw?
What vitamin powder do you use? I'm looking into different options for my dog.
Love this! What is that vitamin powder?
So guys how do u keep and maintain the raw meat do u put it back in the freezer or can i keep it in the refrigerator ?
Antonio refrigator when u don’t want to unfreeze every feeding time, but it only stays 3-4 days
What supplement do you use for the itchy paws? I have a corgi who never stops eating his paws, the vet gave us an allergy tablet but it doesn't fully work in my opinion!
Have you taken an allergy test yet? Please dont try to supplement unless you know what he is allergic to.
Happy Tails the vet has put it down to grass related allergies. But he has never pushed for us to actually get it tested.
I LOVE YOU VIDROS,BECAUSE WE CAN SEE THEM EATING.TJSTS THE MAIN EVENT OF THE VIDEO.THANKS.KEEP DOING IT. THANKS.
Are the oats cooked with water or milk? And when you say supplement what supplements are they? Is it a vitamin or something for joints? Also is the beef a high quality beef? Sorry so many questions
@HappyTails you inspired me to feed my dog raw/homemade dog food!!!
Hi! I have a 7 month corgi and I was wondering how much oatmeal you feed per day and how it affects the amount of meat you feed your adult corgis (so without oatmeal you would feed X grams of meat, but with oatmeal you feed X grams of meat...)
Would really appreciate your response :)
Good points. Dr Becker does a good review of different foods for dogs, really informative. Have you tried different eggs? If so can you review that with us? I rescue dogs for decades, transition the Chihuahua to more raw and no grains, go small on bone size and no beef. Hold the bone if you have to until the teeth get better and pup learns to use all teeth. All my dogs have been buried with beautiful teeth no matter how little. It also takes time but also brush a massage teeth with coconut oil. Try it, it will pay off. For fast eaters use slow eating bowls or huge plates with food smeared all around and chopped, eventually they learn, and break up foods if you need to. Keep sharing, love your videos. Blessings
Great video, big help!!! Which multivitamin are you using?
What kind of supplements do you use? What is the powder supplement?
I feed my dog raw and it is the best thing you could possibly do for you dog, it has made such a change in her and she is much healthier and loves it wayyyy more than kibble. Making our own raw meals is actually cheaper than expensive wet food or kibble. It costs us around £1.40 a day to feed her raw but on canagans or lillys kitchen she ate a whole can a day which was £2.10. depending on what she has the price on raw varies. eg tonight she has two chicken wings, lamb heart, ox kidney, minced beef, pig liver, spinach and carrot. She had oatmeal turkey chunks and quails egg for breakfast! She is spoiled but we love her so its worth it. We are going to order in bulk from suppliers so it will be cheaper than how we currently get stuff from the supermarket.
So I’m if one of ur dogs is allergic to chicken and on of ur dogs eats the chicken on the floor.would you clean the floor after they eat?
Never have I ever seen a dog eat Squash! 😮
Mine love it
I feed my dog raw and she’s so freaking picky. She won’t eat ANY vegetables unless I chop them really finely and drizzle fish oil all over everything. You guys are lucky if your dog eats plain vegetables with no extra flavoring lol.
My dog eats anything 😂
Brittany Chaos ,my 2 shih tzu loves it!!!!
My dogs ADORE all types of squash. It's one of their favorite treats!
Hello, where do you get those raw food? just from the supermarket?
what kind of supplement do you give your dogs?
Would you happen to explain the supplement powder and what's in it?
Ahhhhh!!!! I love corgis.
For people who are worried about the bones, I would suggest hitting the meat with a hammer or a meat tenderizer to crush up the bones. My dog is 9 and she had to have 12 teeth removed due to an infection and this trick helps her to eat raw food easier and more comfortable!
Hi very good information, was that raw salmon? I am not sure if cooked is better or raw? Can they eat quinoa? Thank you
My dogs are raw fed. I learned this way of feeding from Dr. Billinghurst, a vet in Australia and author of the book, "Give Your Dog a Bone". I had 2 labs at the time and one lived to be 15 1/2 and the other about the same. I fed them turkey wings, turkey necks, chicken wings, chicken necks, fish (with bone), pork neck bones. There was little in meats that they did not eat. Veggies were also fed raw, though I did put them thru a grinder and ground them coarsely, except for some, like zucchini and crooked neck squash (yellow squash). My furries did NOT eat corn. They enjoyed many fruits also. Their teeth were amazing! Bright white and nothing in-between them. They ate once a day as adults. I saved a lot of money feeding this way and best of all ... I knew what they were eating! Oh, and they had raw egg ... shell and all, I just broke it up (crushed the shell). They also were given different livers with their veggie "slop", as I called it. LOL I applaud you for feeding raw!!!
Beautiful dogs.
Also my dog doesn't do good with salmon oil or meat, do you have any other suggestions?
Is it okay to feed freeze dried nuggets every morning and high quality kibble later that day?
What do you use for the powder vitamins?
What vitamin supplements do you use??
My dogs are now on gently cooked/raw. My biggest critic is my vet! Even tho my lethargic sick 9 yo yorkie came back to healthy puppyhood again! No more allergies, goopy sick matted eyes, sleeping all day. He's playing again after 5 years of hardly the will to live! We tease and call him Lazarus! We'll never go back to kibble!
I have two blonde long hair miniature dachshunds. They are 13yra old and 12yea old. I want to change there diet. I'm not sure if it's too late to give these dogs raw meat with bone?
