Small game as well...anyone make there own homemade

Hey Cueball, welcome to the forum. There is lots of information in the health sub forum on raw feeding, which it sounds like you are leaning to with the food items you mentioned. I"m experiencing my first allergy reaction in my BM Emma, hoping it is just chicken. Anyway, post pics of your pups, we love pics. :)

Raw feeding is a perfect way to deal with allergies... even if it's just a temporary thing. You have complete control of the dog's diet, and can get rid of all processed and preserved food items which might also be triggers.

Raw is probably cheaper than going with a canned-food-only diet, too.

First thing to ditch would be anything with cooked/processed chicken - that's a common mastiff trigger.

Check out the raw-feeding sub-forum under health & nutrition. Lots of good info there!

You can also google "whole prey model raw" for info - that's the "menu plan" we base our home-made meals on here.
I had to buy venison... but now we have 60lbs of it in the freezer, and Denna's loving every bite! :)
