Our Shibas are both second generation raw fed. Having not personally owned a dog before, and only knowing of comercially prepared kibbles and canned diets I was breifly taken aback at the prospect of feeding raw . After a lot of reading and research, I cannot imagine allowing our dogs to eat anything else. All litters born here will be thrid generation raw fed from birth. There are a few pre-made raw diets available in the Maritimes, please check out our links page for recommended reading on raw, as well as links to the prepared diets
