Mitaban....wow, I figured they'd have moved beyond that. Memories... Word to the wise, in close quarters it'll make you groggy. If you do the bath at home, I'd wait a little while before hopping in the car, and I found I needed to either wait until Andy was dry before bringing him home if the vet did it, or ride with my window open.
SARGUY yes, they get raw beef or chicken, right now with some cooked carbs so I can use a little less meat plus have something to mix vitamins into. And vitamins and of course taurine. There are books on the subject and I would do some reading if you're interested in raw feeding. Many are not fans of it... I have seen the results with my dogs and it's worth the effort and braving the controversy to me. Andy went from needing $100/month in meds (heartworm meds that work on demodex) to keep his demo under control... in lieu of me having to constantly dip him... to no meds and an occasional quarter sized bald spot that would take care of itself. His situation was chronic and had been extremely severe when I got him (vet said "he looked like the Elephant Man!") so the change was really very striking.
