Hi; We do not feed raw, (I just have a think about it) but Frank does cook for the dogs. He makes a large pot of rice, veggies and switches between ground turkey, chicken and beef. They also get Kirkland kibble, which does not contain all the additives that many foods have. My guys also get leftovers, the other night we had homemade baked macirone and they had that with the rest of their dinner. The cats will also get ground turkey and thank God I do not feed them anything in fancy graveys, only Friskies from Purina. My parrots also do not get seed, but pellets, veggies, fruits, potatoes and pasta. They also love pizza! I found out from my Avain Vet that seed is the worst thing to feed birds, as they do not eat them in the wild. Cathy Kelstar Catherine Murch fmurch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Why Wait?
