Correct, most dogs on the raw diet drink less water for that reason.

This is great because his poop has been very soft, goo patties lately due to anti-biotics and clariton pills daily.

Further, I think I have noticed a significant lack of water drinking in comparison to kibble diet. He use to be almost obcessed with water, and now not so much. Please confirm, but I think the kibble was so dry (in comparison to the chicken) that it caused him to drink more.
Wait... you weigh your dog's poo?

Sadie did drink less water than she did with kibble. I think your reasoning is on target.
Well thank you I think. Remember though. This is my kid.

Thanks. But I was told to wait like 2 weeks before introducing anything besides chicken.

But it brings up another great question. What veggie do you all suggest to start with? Potatoes and carrot? Just slice and serve? Did the dog go for them?

poop....

I didn't weight it so much as I flicked it onto my scooper and when you're use to dog shit the size I am. You'll notice when he only craps a 1/3 the amount.

And as I said. He's been shittin moon pies for the past couple months. Which stink horribly and you can barely pick up. It sucks. But now he's shittin the previously stated different poop.

Brinks is doing well. I'm sure he's lost weight, Uma noticed it when she returned from her vacation. But he's now up to 2.75 leg qrts where he should be.

Our butcher shop is running a fathers day weekend special on leg quarters... over the counter $0.59lb so I'm sure my case price will be cheap. I think I'm going to buy 3 cases if it's down around $0.50lb cause that saves me like $0.14lb or about $8 a case.

Also going to pick up other various meats... both for him and us. They got this awesome deal going on now for meat bundle that I think we're buying for us.

And we are going to introduce GLOP to his diet. Just ordered for store pick up a Kenmore Elite food processor. Hopefully it lasts... it is a 800 watt motor. on sale as well.

I tell ya though... the freezer, and now processor does make this more expensive initially.
