how about them ears!
while doing the weekend grooming the other day (claws, whiskers, a thorough brushing with skin and coat inspection, teeth inspection) i thought "wow when was the last time i cleaned their ears?" I got the flashlight out and peered inside but everything is spic and span in there, nothing at all to clean.
Thinking back, i have never cleaned Maika's ears at all and Dakotah's ears were wiped last spring or so, when he was eating more kibble than raw (he is almost ALL raw now). I know prick-eared dogs have cleaner ears in general than floppy-eared dogs but still i know there is a cause-and-effect between what you feed your pets, and what you see in their health. i loooove raw-feeding!

I've never really cleaned Boo's ears except after a good swim, but Jemma's teeny closed up ears are a pain. *sigh*

Ears
We used to have to clean Barkley's ears almost everyday when he was on kibble because they kept getting brown gunk in them and they smelled god-awful (it makes green tripe smell like ). Ever since we switched him to raw, I haven't had to clean them even once! They are absolutely spotless! He is a golden retriever, so he has long,floppy ears and you'd think that I'd still have to clean them from time to time, but I inspect them every week and still nothing. It's been approx 4 months now. Woo Hoo!

Meik is odd man out, have to wait until February till the specialist comes up from Guelph. He has stopped passing out/overheating so much since i put him back on kibble. But he still does overheat quick. For now I have been instructed to keep him "quiet" ( impossible for a Border Collie) and not let him get worked up or overly excited, regular excersise is still alright but instead of a long "session" it has to be a whole lot of short ones. Poor guy, he's missing out on the scrumptious dinners.
