My guys are on Eagle Pack Holistic and I add two tablespoons of canned (wellness 95% chicken) so worth the price! out here a 35lb. bag is $100 but what a huge difference I noticed in Mack

What raw stuff do you feed? I 've been giving that some thought, to mix with the kibble.

I usually do the chicken wings, pig stomachs, livers and gizzards (which Kollow hates) lots of hamburger, but I don't feed raw WITH kibble. They kibble in the morning and raw at night. I had read somewhere that mixing raw with kibble cannot be digested the right way. That a dogs body digests raw food different than what they do kibble.

I have not done fish yet, I am still leary on that one, but would love to try as we go to Florida almost every summer and deep sea fish, I have a ton in my freezer.

The only time I find they have loose stools is when I put the raw eggs in their meals, but they LOVE them, shell and all.

So what i have been doing is just the egg white with some shell a little at a time and they do great.
