Things I wish I knew as a first-time raw feeder. 🐶⬇️
1. It is nowhere near as messy or intimidating as people make it out to be once you establish a clean prep routine.
2. A 14 lb bag actually fits easily in a standard kitchen freezer without needing a dedicated deep freezer.
3. You do not have to go completely all-or-nothing, because adding fresh raw food to a kibble base still offers massive benefits.
4. The natural energy boost and playfulness showed up almost immediately once the switch was made.
5. The reduction in daily shedding and the overall softness of their coat took me completely by surprise.
6. Smaller, firmer, and practically odorless backyard cleanups make daily scoop duty dramatically easier.
