Hi, New Member, Raw Feeding

Hi guys

I'm living over in london uk, and have got a 4 month old jack russell male called rex!!

my first dog was a cross between jack russell and beagle, and he was an amazing dog!!!!! so clever

unfortunately, he developed cancer at the age of 12, and we decided to put him down shortly after, (he was fed commercial dog food, and cooked human leftovers)

10 years on, and rex is upon us

i have started to feed rex, on raw food, from a complete raw food company, and i have a puppy formula!! it came frozen, and i needed to defrost, and serve

at the start, it was hard to get him to eat raw food (designed for puppy) so i started sprinkling parmesan cheese over the raw meal, and now he loves it

my question is, is the parmesan ok to mix with raw meat for my dog???

thanks

If you feed a variety of meats, bones, and organs a dog/puppy will be just fine. It's not rocket science, nutrients are all there as long as there is variety. Kibble is full of crap in my opinion and would rather spend time in feeding something without all the processed ingredients than feeding kibble solely for convenience. Not sure where others are from here, but in my area, many farmers use roundup industrial grade to kill all weeds/grass in their fields. It soaks into the ground then they plant corn, soy, etc. Then it gets processed and sold off, which I am pretty certain it's also sold for dog food manufacturing. Then we feed it to our pets. I am guilty too of feeding kibble in the past and while in school due to finances, but have had them back on raw as soon as I could and feel much better about it. I also understand that raised meats are also full of crap in the sense of antibiotics, etc but I feel it is the lesser evil than the processed fillers found in kibble. I also do understand that there are very good brands of kibble that dogs can do very well on, yet the way they are processed gives me doubts when compered to feeding fresh ingredients.

A little bit of parm is not going to kill the pup. Yet, I would recommend you wean him off of it and just use tough love to get him to eat. It's worked here in the past.

@Basil1985, I think you're overcomplicating things. The OP is feeding a raw diet and I don't remember reading they wanted to switch off of it. The person is just asking if a little bit of parm cheese is ok. If you have some issues with raw feeding, maybe a different you can be started to post your opinions on it instead of derailing the OP's question.
My dogs sometimes find big braches in the yard that fall from the willow tree and I sometimes see them playing with them and chewing on them. I will not be so fussy over a little bit of chewed wood.
