I then give them a bigger meaty bone every three weeks or so. I have come to realize that the meat and bone have great nutritional ingredient for the muscles, bones, and joints. Your dog may be vomiting due to allergens in the commercial food or the dryness of the kibble. Wet down the kibble and see what happens. Check out my book, Dog Dish Diet.

I do have one question, I have a 13 year old Britney spaniel who has had a tendency of sort of swallowing the kibble/wet food mixture I give her whole and then throwing it up and re eating it. I recently took her to the vet who said that this was probably caused by tartar build up which made it painful to eat, and that while a cleaning might be in order, I should try raw chicken first to see if that took care of the problem. So here's the question; you say a piece of chicken every 3 weeks will keep my dogs teeth healthy and also not to do this too often since that can be bad for them, but is it possible to start off with several pieces in a short period of time to get her teeth clean and then drop back to the 1/3weeks system once they are back to normal?

This may apply to dogs too, I wouldn't be surprised.However this is from human sources. I use meaty bones and frozen chicken thighs to keep my dogs teeth clean. You can see the videos at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1ieNMvfpQQ. Put the chicken in the the micro for 30 secs to defrost the outside skin a bit to make it taste and smell better. You may want to let him eat some of the cartilage on the knuckle too, it will supply his joints with great nutrition, protect his joints from wearing out and getting arthritis, as well as polish his teeth Greg,

Enzynmatic toothpaste. But I recently became aware that it has two ingrediants which bother me: Dextrose and Sorbitol. Dextrose is a sugar and I think that sorbitol is an alcohol sugar. All the other popular brands of pet toothpaste have these two ingrediants also. Question: Will these ingrediants -- dextrose and sorbitol --harm my dogs teeth? I'm afraid to continue brushing my dog's teeth because of these ingrediants, even though my vet recommended this toothpaste to me. Another question: Are the big raw frozen Bravo knucklebones that are sold in pet stores good to give to my dog for his teeth? (He is not an aggresive chewer and I've been letting him have them as directed, until the meat is stripped, so I only let him have the knucklebones for a few hours before I throw them out.) (I am new to raw feeding, just using a lot of the Stella and Chewy's freeze dried for now while I read more and try to work up the courage to do things like you're talking about, like give my dogs frozen chicken thighs, if he will even eat them. He won't eat the frozen patties of different brands , just freeze dried. He loves that, so I buy it in great bulk to make the cost the same as if it were frozen. But that won't give him the dental benefits of a RMB diet.) I have been brushing my German Sheperd’s teeth daily for five months with C.E.T. Enzynmatic toothpaste.

Millions of dogs and cats suffer from the results of high grain, low fat, allergenic diets. Giving our pets the joy of something they evolved to eat is convincing isn't it? Deborah,

I was nervous at first to give them the frozen chicken thighs but they handled it like a champ! They enjoyed every bite and it took quite a bit or tarter off their teeth. Now, that's all that they want to eat!!! I am excited to also order your book and get them on your Dog Dish Diet. I always thought it wasn't good to give them people food but it makes complete sense actually after researching your website and your www.youtube.com videos. I learned so much and have already started telling my friends about it!:) Thank you SO much Dr. Greg! It's nice to know that there are veterinarians out there who think outside the box for our babies well-being! Also, I am sending you an e-mail with some questions re: cats on the Dog Dish Diet! Thank you again and I will definitely continue to "spread the word." People definitely need this information for their pets:) Dr. Greg, Thank you SO much for this information:) My Samoyed’s, Sammy & Max think that I am the best mom ever to let them eat raw chicken!

I leave the bones with them for 20-30 min. My lab Tucker eats a pretty good size bone in that time and his poop is pretty white the next day. You can buy raw bones at the market or pet store. Same with smoked. Does that help? I also use raw meaty lambs bones, smoked pork bones, pigs feet, and beef femur and hock bones if the dogs are ok with beef.

The raw frozen chicken thigh and flexible raw bone inside gives the meal that added tartar cleaning muscle. I give them bones or frozen chicken weekly or so Deborah, i don’t thaw them.
