Chandler’s first RMB

Monday, December 14th, 2009

We waited all day to see if this actually works, and it sure does!   After feeding Chandler a raw egg this morning with much success it was off to the supermarket to find him his first raw meaty bone (RMB) meal.  The majority of people I am following suggested chicken and chicken only as his first meals for the next 12-14 days so I headed over to the club pack aisle for chicken thighs.   I am sure there are cheaper ways to obtain raw meat for my dog but for this lifestyle change I used the loblaws.  They had chicken thighs at $6.99/KG.  This approximates to about $1 per day to feed the dog.  Not exorbitant but also not cheap, about par with the premium kibble he was eating.   I also found some pork back ribs on sale for $1.99/lb!  So I bought a large package of them for advanced eating.

Have a look as my dog Chandler gets his first raw egg.   We have had Chandler for just over 2 years now and he has been one of the most welcome additions to our family yet.  He brings me joy and acts as an amazing reliever of stress and should be rated as a service dog for all he does for me!

I have been home recently for days at a time and have gotten to know Chandler much better to discover he seems to have a major food allergy.  We used to think all of his snorting and sneezing was normal but it definitely was not!   I began searching in earnest when he would lick at the floor for 15 minutes after every meal.  We already have been feeding him some really premium dog food that was kibble based, knowing that the stuff you buy at the regular store is NOT good for your pets.  What we did not realize is that even the top grade kibble fails to give our dog what he really needs.  He needs raw meat and bones.  That’s it!
