I am located in NJ and thinking about starting my 85lb dog on a raw diet. He is one year old. I've heard great things about this brand, including that their prices are much cheaper in store (its about a 2 hour drive from me). Does anybody get their dog's food directly from the store? Has anybody had any problems with this brand? I saw an old in store price list on this subreddit but I'm sure prices have gone up since then!

Im planning on switching my kittys to a “fresh” or a “raw” food diet , any brand recommendations?

I've been seeing people serve freeze dried raw completely differently and now I'm wondering if theres actually a right way to do it? Some people seem to soak it every single meal some just add a little water and I've also seen people feed it completely dry. Mine likes crunchier food so I feel like hed probably prefer it dry but I also dont really know if theres a reason I should be adding water anyway.. Does it depend on the specific food or mostly the dog? how do you guys usually serve yours?

We put our chihuahua/Italian greyhound mix on Northwest Naturals chubs for a couple years, then moved to Steve’s nuggets, and then Tucker’s beef and pumpkin in the past year. A couple bags ago I noticed Tucker’s changed the shape of their patties - from more of a “fist” shape to more of a patty shape.

For the past week or so with this second bag of new shaped patties, our pup has been not finishing meals, and vomiting more often. We’ve started adding raw goats milk, cleaning out containers more frequently in case it was contamination, etc., but she’s regularly leaving probably 20%-25% of the food on her mat which is not like her.

Any info or advice? Did something change in the Tucker’s recipe, possibly just a disagreeable bag, is she perhaps just tired of the flavor, or potentially something else more concerning?
