First time boarding.

Saya will be boarded for the first time we are going to Ozarks Arkansas for vacation sadly the place doesn't allow dogs. :\

She and Bella will be boarded at The dog house of Lafayette a dog boarding, daycare, grooming type place and only place that sells fromm dog food and cat food.. They also have locally made leather leashes, collars, treats, and some toys.

Bella boarded there when we went to Louisiana Saya came with us because she is relatively well behaved and more socialized. Bella is getting better with being good with company now she has had more visitors.

Dink boarded there too our 15 year old catahoula mix she was having hard time with arthritis and we hated to leave and have her boarded, but couldn't trust anyone in family to properly take care of the dogs last time it was disaster Dink had accidents because they didn't let her out at proper times..

The staff did well with Dink gave her right meds and washed the blanket when she peed on it due to her incontinence. They took them on walks and Bella I could tell she got exercised so that's good.

I know when she hasn't she is horribly hyper and annoying she needs good run once a day and one or two walks depends on weather.

Saya exploring.

One good thing about the place they do raw and have fridge/freezer for that type of stuff and they had shiba before being boarded.

They will also seperate the dogs during feeding time if there is issue with resource guarding which is good especially since Saya takes a bit to eat her food. Though she will be eating pre made raw which she can eat faster thawed I feed it frozen helps slow her down.

I got her pre made lamb food luckily had coupon month ago so that was nice..

8 baggies to put each days food in. We will be gone for 7days, but I figure it'd be good for her to have extra day never know with traffic if we'll be delayed.. coarse I don't think a day on kibble would hurt her and if it gave her issue I'd just have to buy her some bone in chicken and have her on bland meal till she is good..

I figure pre made would be easier for the staff to feed then tossing chicken drumstick, liver in one bag, boneless meat in other, tongue and heart and drumstick and kidney etc.. haha

she loves lamb so I got that she also has bison pre made which she liked, but I mainly been giving as a quick snack to have.

I don't really give pre made except for boarding since it can get pricey and I much rather fresh whole raw then it.

Coarse if your worried about food being nutritionally balance pre made is good type raw to feed.. Though I'd give a chicken drumstick, pork rib, lamb ribs and stuff like that to give more chewing actions..

The pre made is all bagged up! two rectangle blocks for each day.

Each block weighs like 3 oz maybe bit more two together is about 6oz or bit more that's about what she gets a day..

I fed her the pre made bison for whole week and she did fine no yucky poo and she kept weight on fine.

I hope she does well during boarding she has met the staff during times we went to get fromm when I had a coupon or for a visit and she loved the workers so that's good.

The place has tvs on animal planet so that is nice. The dogs don't seem to bark like past places which is good. Our last three dogs were so hoarse from all the barking..

Wasn't fun for them. hehe

Pre made raw test this week

I picked up a bag of bison Nature's variety raw to do a trail run had a coupon. I don't think I'd ever do pre made. I love the type raw I do much more fun the nugget seem so small..

One nugget

Ingredients seem fine.. i got bison one since I don't feed bison often there is a bison farm somewhere so I might buy their stuff soon..

Here's some examples of the formula of food.


Venison, Lamb Heart, Lamb Liver, Raw Ground Lamb Bone, Apples, Carrots, Pumpkinseeds, Butternut Squash, Ground Flaxseeds, Montmorillonite Clay, Chicken Eggs, Broccoli, Lettuce, Spinach, Dried Kelp, Apple Cider Vinegar, Parsley, Honey, Salmon Oil, Olive Oil, Blueberries, Alfalfa Sprouts, Persimmons, Duck Eggs, Pheasant Eggs, Quail Eggs, Inulin, Rosemary, Sage, Clove.

comes with 48 raw nuggets

Bison, Bison Liver, Beef Kidney, Raw Ground Bison Bone, Bison Kidney, Apples, Carrots, Butternut Squash, Montmorillonite Clay, Chicken Eggs, Broccoli, Lettuce, Salmon Oil, Spinach, Dried Kelp, Apple Cider Vinegar, Parsley, Honey, Olive Oil, Blueberries, Mixed Tocopherols with Citric Acid (a natural preservative), Rosemary Extract, Alfalfa Sprouts, Persimmons, Duck Eggs, Pheasant Eggs, Quail Eggs, Inulin, Rosemary, Sage, Clove
 

Saya eating her meal of beef gullet good source glucosamine or condrotine

Ingredient wise it looks good if your dog is allergic to chicken, duck or any poultry seems they have chicken and other poultry eggs. I know most dogs who are allergic to cooked chicken or what ever meat, but not raw, but there are some dogs who are allergic to both..

So be aware of that also it's not one protein formula I bold up the different proteins which is good for a dog who does fine with all proteins, but just thought I'd point that out.

48 nuggets in it should feed her for 8days or so price for bison is like $16. We'll see how it goes.

Tomorrow will be Saya's first day on it I plan to give her three nuggets in am and three in pm I weighed 6nuggets and it's about right amount she gets in a day.

I'll keep try on her poop if it gets runny or hard not sure how much bone is in it I can always give her bit of caned fish, little more boneless, a egg, gizzard with each day..

hare today order

Hare today also has meat/bone and organ mixes and they're more single protein you order duck you just get duck meat/bone/organs, order chicken same, goat etc.

Example of it is sheep meat, bone and organs(liver, heart, lung and kidneys. )

Goat meat, bone, and organs(heart, lung, liver, tripe and kidney along with bones)

Duck meat, bone and organs(heart, liver, and gizzard)

Only difference is these don't have veggies, fruit, salmon oil, olive oil, and vitamin and minerals added. I dunno if this could be fed full time like pre made, but it's very nice for traveling and stuff.

The goat was my fav since it had tripe in it.

Hare today pre ground stuff is probably great for feeding when in a hurry, boarding, or traveling.

Saya loved the goat, mutton, and duck ones she didn't have any tummy issues.

This is a whole days worth of it. We'll see how she likes it tomorrow she seems like it when I was photographing it.

I'll be sure to update on how she does this week on it I don't think I'd do this full time though I prefer variety of items and affordability of my own type of raw..
