Round two...raw diets and dentals for the kids

[KimberlySRN]

Yesterday was a no go with the Primal Beef. Anakin and Bella licked it and walked away. Lace ate the whole thing. I was told because they didnt really try it to heat it up for a few seconds when first transitioning

Today we tried the duck...they all loved it! I'm so happy I got the starter pack that has 4 different flavors.


All three of the puppies had dentals today...it went very well. The person doesn't have to put them under which made me happy and a little scared because I didn't want the pups to be scared and hurt. She came to the house and sat on the floor with them and as soon as they were done they were running around happy.

Kim - I feed Primal Duck the majority of the time too, and my crew LOVES it . So glad to hear it went well, that's always exciting.

I'm almost done my first bag of raw so I think I'll do Primal duck for my next bag

BTW, how do they do a dental without putting the dog down? That's the part I was most nervous about when Bandit had his first dental done.

It is called gental dentistry. I didn't know how it worked either but I figured I would try it. The lady came in and sat on the floor with the pups and first she gave them some drops that are for calming and sprayed the area with another calming spray. She used a few tools and polished them up and they were done. She even took out a few loose teeth and the pups barely noticed. I would do it again, the pups teeth look 100 times better and smell awesome. We are going to continue to brush and give petzlife and get dentals done once a year.

Awesome. I tried the other varities yesterday and they all loved it. Now I just need to figure out where to buy it. They have it online for $20 a bag but it is $134 for overnight shipping....hahaha...that doesnt even make sense. Maybe I can get a place here to order it, they only order one or two varities at a time.

I've found that specialty pet boutiques are usually willing to accomodate their customers. I would bet they would be willing to order it for you!

Glad your pups got happy w/the duck...When I started introducing new proteins, sometimes they would stop and sniff, a few seconds, before eating...Now they're on a rotation of Primal Duck, Lamb, Pheasant, Venison, Quail, Beef & Chicken...I'm so fortunate that my vendor can get all of the proteins available...And I do put their little plates (stainless, of course) under the kitchen cabinet lights, for a few seconds, to take the chill off...Once you've fed duck, for a while, I bet you'll be able to give all the proteins...

So i can't find anyone locally that has the primal duck. I did find a person that delivers the Stella and chewy's duck duck goose for a little over $16 a bag. Is that a good food and price?
Thank you

I bought a bag of Primal Duck yesterday and I'm so disappointed- Jackson didn't seem to like it! When I first used S&C, he sniffed it for about 10 seconds, and then basically devoured it quickly. I gave him 2 nuggets of Primal this AM and he did the sniffing them for a lot longer... then ate one little nugget, picked up the other and went and dropped it on the floor. Maybe I'll have to try smooshing it up tomorrow.
