Yep, we left our roommate for three days over the weekend with separate ziploc bags including sharpie instructions on each bag... Werked out great.

My cats eat super slow too. I actually switched to feeding them twice a day. They weren't finishing their food at night but they were both gettting way too skinny. So to save us from wasting food and them not getting enough, I am giving them 60% at night and 40% in the morning. It seemed to work great, but I will see tonight when I get home how much they eat of their dinner. Hopefully they finish it off.

OSP, you need to remember that cats can't be fasted like dogs can. They have to eat every 24 hours. Their livers can't handle not being fed the way a dog or human can.

All of our animals will be fed 2x per day... the dogs because Taco gets a sour stomach and tends to vomit if he doesn't eat every 10-12 hours and the cats because they are FUCKING annoying as hell when hungry.

Right on. I didn't know that when I first started doing this. thought they were just like dogs.

Just a note-Lost my oldest Schnauzer Saturday. She had a Grand Mal Seizure.

RIP Nikki.

Nothing really to do with Raw Diet, but I do believe she got another 6 months because of it.

Sounds ruff OSP.

Sorry to hear Vator.

Gas Man · 08-24-2011, 07:37 PM

We are still having a ruff go with this. Brinks has always been a picky eater. He never seems to like the same diet for much longer than a few months.

We are at that point with this I believe. The only difference with kibble is that you can just leave it out. The chicken, now is a different story.

We have continued to seer it in a pan.
About a month ago he quit liking garlic. salt and loved it plain.

Now he's back to barely eating. It's very very frustrating!! Why can't he just eat like a normal dog?!?!

OneSickPsycho · 08-24-2011, 08:37 PM

Maybe try the prey model? Whole chickens, feathers and all... Does Brinks chase shit? Are his hunting instincts in tact?

Gas Man · 08-24-2011, 10:19 PM

He chases other dogs and people. I don't know if his hunting instincts are in tact... you can't exactly let your 140-150lb dog hunt shit!

Plus I'm not dealing with that, thanks anyway. I need other suggestions...
