Raw Paws Yahoo Group  

Raw Paws is a great place to start learning about improving your pet's diet.  While some Yahoo Groups tend to be very ideologically strict, Raw Paws is flexible and they also have great quick start guides so you can immediately improve upon your pet's diet without doing enough reading to get a degree in animal nutrition!

Raw Feeding Yahoo Group

This group is dedicated to the "Whole Prey'" or "Franken-prey"model of raw feeding, which we subscribe to here. There's a lot of information in these archives!

Naturally Grey

 A site dedicated to the raw feeding and holistic care of greyhounds.

Silver Pets

A community of animal lovers devoted to using medicinal silver in conjunction with other alternative and standard approaches to keeping our pets healthy and happy.  Colloidal Silver is available through Awesome Paws. 

 Diatomaceous Earth

A great website that explains the many uses of this product.  We recommend it's use for a natural alternative to worming and flea control. We will be offering this product for sale sometime later in 2008.  You can also view the history of the use of this product, and what McGill university thinks of it, right here.

 

USDA NUTRIENT CALCULATOR   

Use this site to find out what nutrients are in the food you're feeding.  For example, if you enter "raw lung" you'll pull up entries for beef, pork, veal and lamb, and you can see exactly what nutrients your dog will be getting.
