    What is the best site/books etc for Raw diets.

    Hi all!

     

    I have been thinking of talking to my vet at the pooches upcoming vet appointment (yearly) in August about slowly switching to a raw diet.  I know that it will entail a LOT of learning, reading, and research...and just wondering where a good "start" would be?  I know there is a husky breeder/kennel owner that feeds raw not too far from me here, and is very knowledgeable about it...I've been thinking of hitting her up for information too.

     

    Any direction into where to start to research over the next few months would be great.

     

    Thanks!

    Before I made the switch, I read The Barf Diet by Ian Billinghurst, & Optimal Nutrition by Monica Segal.

    Just a heads up...don't expect your vet to be supportive of feeding raw.  There are not many, non holistic, vets who are supportive of raw feeding.

    I believe that first site I really checked out was the Raw Dog Ranch site. It got me hooked, and made me actually believe that I could really do it. Before that, I was so paranoid.
