Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| So I'm going to do the RAW diet if I feel confident enough to do it supplement wise is the e-barf supplement good or would I still need to give them more vitamins it says it contains
Organic Dried Kelp, Organic Dehydrated Alfalfa Meal, Ground Flaxseed, Dried Yeast, Organic Dried Ground Barley Grass, Organic Dried Ground Wheatgrass, Oat Bran, Dried Ground Barley Malt, Organic Dried Apple Pumice, Pectin, Organic Dried Ground Beet, Dried Ground Parsley, Dried Ground Barley Sprout, Dried Ground Aloe Vera Gel, Organic Dried Ground Carrot, Organic Dried Ground Broccoli, Organic Dried Ground Tomato, Organic Dried Ground Kale, Dried Ground Celery, Dried Ground Cauliflower, Dried Ground Asparagus, Dried Ground Brussels Sprouts, Dried Ground Garlic, Dried Ground Ginger, Dried Aspergillus niger Fermentation Extract, Dried Aspergillus oryzae Fermentation Extract, Dried Lactobacillus acidophilus Fermentation Extract, Dried Bifidobacterium thermophilum Fermentation Extract, Dried Bifodobacterium longum Fermentation Extract, Dried Enterococcus faecium Fermentation Extract, and Bacillus subtilus Fermentation Extract (Source of Amylase, Cellulase, and Hemi-Cellulase)
and since she's a puppy I would give her 10% of her body weight in meat right? |

| I've personally never used the e-barf supplement, but I do use Nupro dog vitamin supplement. It's like a beef gravy flavor and the dog's love it. To me, the e-barf supplement seems to have a bunch of unnecessary things in it. I'm feeding raw, so I don't want my dog's having the veggies and all that stuff, unless I'm giving it to them fresh. That's just my take on it, other's may feel differently. As for feeding amount, I just eyeball it now, but when I first started I would always feed double what was called for (when the dogs were puppies). I started feeding Vital Essential patties, which are awesome by the way! I would give 2 patties per meal twice a day. Calculator to help you out : http://www.raw4dogs.com/calculate.htm |

| I use Wholistic Canine Complete as a supplement. Nikko eats it like it's part of his food so I'm guessing he likes it haha. |

| WCC is amazing. I make my own supplement. I have one for Cato that has minimal joint support and one for Delilah that is serious joint support. If anyone would like the exact ingredients and measurements let me know |

| As far as supplements go I would highly recommend Nupro or Wholistic Canine Complete. Both are excellent supplements that will complement a raw or kibble diet well. I like to alternate between the two. _________________ |

If anyone would like the exact ingredients and measurements let me know I'm interested in what you put in your supplement I hadn't thought about making my own |

| No, supplements are not a requirement but many of us do use them as a means of filling in the gaps so to speak. I never used to supplement until I started taking my dogs to a holistic vet who recommended I supplement even on a raw diet. She has never steered me wrong in all the years I've gone to her. _________________ |
