You just want to make sure your doing it right CC,I was exactly the same,and I still need advice sometimes.
On another forum I belong to there is a member on there who has a 10 week old cocker puppy,she did no research into a raw diet she just started giving her pup raw,the pup has been unwell for a few weeks,it has an infection beginning with Ch cannot remember the rest,the vet has told her one of the causes of this infection is raw meat,I asked her yesterday if she was freezing the pups food before feeding and her reply was I didn’t know I had to ,so good on you CC for asking loads of Q’s
