Re: Which Kefir better for dogs? for LESLIE

June 13, 2012

Hi ,

Thank you for the wonderful testimonial. The information is invaluable. I am

so very happy for your dog. It is very heartbreaking when they are

suffering.... even if they are not my dogs, my heart aches for them. I will see

if I can find raw goats milk in my area. I wish your dog continued improvement

in his health.

know the difference in benefits between Milk and Water. By growing in sugar

water, does that mean you consume the sugar?

mix. He just turned 13 in March and has had arthritis since he was 2. Around 6

years ago I started raw feeding him and treating him holistically. I don't use

any chemicals on him or in our home. He gets a lot of supplements for his

joints/nutrition. Bowser has been having digestive issues since last fall. He

gets gassy at times and his stools are not real firm and smelly. It has been

suggested by a couple of people to start feeding him a home cooked diet. I am

concerned about the change because I know nothing about it but I'm also reading

a book and on a few groups. I have been experimenting with cooking some of his

meat and adding quinoa to the meals and he seems to be doing better in the gas

department. I have also been giving him Probiotics and enzymes for months.
