I have an Italian Greyhound/ JRT mix who weighs about 12 lbs. She is very svelte, built just like an IG, and the problem I have when feeding her is she bloats very easily and becomes very uncomfortable. I cannot feed a whole meal once a day, it has to be split up because of the bloat. Also, due to my work schedule, her dinner meal is fed by someone other than me who is not willing to feed raw meat in her house, she is often puppysat during the evenings elsewhere. To make sure her dinner is being fed correctly she gets Wellness Core Ocean in portionpaks from smartpak. (I formerly fed Orijen 6 fish but it is not available from smartpak, I stick with the fish as my main ingredient to help with her dry skin as she will not eat fish oil.)
I would love to feed her raw but due to the aforementioned dilemmas I simply cannot feed a completely raw diet. So, my questions are as follows:
Is it okay to feed a partial raw diet?
What are things I can give her for her raw portions that are easily obtained in small quantities as she is a small dog?
Would freeze dried raw be a good substitute for the kibble to get a better raw diet?
Thanks!
