Thank you for the link, that definately looks worth a try.
While I am sure the freezing kills them off, the carcasses and faeces would remain wouldn't they.
Saying that it might be worth a try if Natures Menu makes no difference. Happy to try anything at least once.......you never know.

I am a wee bit confused here. Are you talking about raw pet food like Natures Menu, not that I really know what it is - or the food I buy for Pereg, which is fresh and from my poulterer or butcher and which I freeze it as soon as it is delivered.

And I have never seen faeces on the poultry or carcases because they are sold for human consumption, and I buy turkey gizzards, livers and hearts, which Pereg has raw and I cook for myself.

Also ox heart but that is mostly for me [because it is expensive and has to be ordered in advance and I am mean] plus udder and beef lung which are mostly for Pereg to have raw, and which come from a human quality butcher.

None of this food has ever caused gastrointestinal problems for either Pereg or myself. And I have never had food poisoning from touching the raw stuff.

In the kibble? I think the idea is to bag it and freeze it as soon as you buy a new bag, making sure the dust in the bottom of the bag is binned minimising any opportunity for the little blighters to multiply.

Sorry I missed this post. I cook 3rd protein (chicken breasts at the moment are cheap in Tesco) 3rd rice, and 3rd mixed vegetables (frozen mix again from Tesco).

Cook it all together for 20 minutes or until rice is cooked then blitz the chicken breasts in the food processor and mix them back into the rice and veg mix.

Mine love it ! And are looking good on it too.

They also have some tuna or mackerel if I open a can and if I bake a potato I stick one in the oven for them too along with any left over veggies (cauliflower and sprouts only when we are not having visitors as the wind is immense when they have them).

Malka I meant in the dry kibble. The bags are often breeding grounds for mites.
Trouble was suggesting putting the kibble into the freezer to kill off the mites. Id imagine it would work but the kibble would still contain the faeces and carcasses which are also allergens.

OK - I now understand, but before I changed Pereg to raw she was fed on kibble, as was my Little one, and I thought you were talking about raw meat and poultry.

I do, at times, give Pereg soaked kibble mixed with her vegetables as her first meal, just as sometimes she will have some tinned also mixed with vegetables [I also add well cooked whole grains] so that if she has to go to the Pension for emergency kenneling, I know what she will eat as they cannot guarantee to feed her raw as I do. It is more than enough for them to have to give her her medication.

Feeding kibble or opening a tin is easy. Working out raw with sufficient vitamins and minerals is not quite so easy. And with an epi dog it is even more importand to avoid certain things but learn what are good.

But epi or not, if I was ever able to have another dog, she would be fed on raw from the day I got her.

It should help as the steam kills dust mites....but we've not seen a difference yet, apart from the house being cleaner.

Tonks is on Naturediet which is a wet food in a traybut it's not raw.
I read that they are still insure as to if consuming dead storage mites would set up a reaction. So e decided to change to wet to be safe.

Do you give any kibble with the wet food, or is it just wet food only?

If it is not raw, is it just like canned food but in a tray?

I just give Tonks the wet food as it's complete and we are trying hard to avoid all kibble now.
Well I didn't think it as raw. I've just read up on their gumf and the raw ingredients are mixed and then steam steralized...so I suppose that's a type of cooking so it's not raw..is it? Confused.com!
