A: Almost any mammal will get sick when his diet is suddenly changed, even when you are changing to a better diet. It works the same in humans.
Put your dog back on the dang kibble, but give him a raw egg-including the shell-with it. This will be a great step forward. Over a period of about a month, gradually add chicken necks to the kibble and egg mixture. Make sure the chicken necks still have the skin on them. They're actually harder to find than you might think: The butcher thinks he is doing you a favor by removing the skin. Just call your butcher ahead of time and let him know what you want-you'll be saving him work, so, odds are, he'll be happy to oblige.
After a few weeks on this mixture, start adding chicken liver as you decrease the kibble. I use kibble only as filler on top, since dogs do like the crunch. And don't forget the raw pork or beef joint two or three times a week.
I often substitute raw hamburger for the liver in my dog's diet. Buy the cheapest priced hamburger because, ironically, it is the most nutritious; it contains the most fat (YOU should eat it too).
My dog, Silky, has eaten this diet since she was six weeks old. Six months later, she was all bone and muscle and is covered with the most beautiful coat I have ever seen.

Good blog post, but the question shouldn't be what's the best way, but when. The answer to that, is now. If you don't know what's even IN commercial dog food, then you don't know what could be causing Dog Health Problems Symptoms. For the sake of your dog, please check it out.
I loved this article!
It's simple but we don't always follow common sense. When we make any major changes to a diet the digestive system needs time to adjust.
Some dogs also make have sensitivities or allergies to certain foods so it's a good idea to add things slowly and one at a time. It can also be helpful for some dogs to have a digestive enzyme added to their diet especially if they're on a mostly kibble food.

Great post, I wonder if my dog is still a little to young though?
I also read an interesting post about organic food here: http://www.drpetadvice.com/2010/06/05/organic-pet-food-choosing-organic-pet-food/
Great piece of advice! I thought changing foods are just as easy as changing brands of dog foods...It does takes time, there's also adjustment period huh, amazing! love this article!
I found so many interesting stuff in your blog especially its discussion. This will be a great step forward. Over a period of about a month, gradually add chicken necks to the kibble and egg mixture.

Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing with us.

It is very important to choose the right dog food which has good nutritional value that help to make your dog strong and healthy. I think raw food is one of the best dog food which provide good nutrient value to them.
