Tricia
It seems easy NOW but I was really a basketcase when I first started.
I was trying to wade thru the rants of the raw purists on the forums and voices of the vets telling me I was killing my dog feeding raw. I overanalyzed everything. I created elaborate concoctions of vitamins and weighed precisely all the ingredients. It was so time consuming and utterly unnecessary no wonder people are put off by it.
My journey was almost exactly as you laid out in your post. First a couple eggs on kibble then I cooked recipes I found in books. Got brave enough for some raw chicken necks and backs. When all that went down well and begged for more I knew I was on to something.
Honestly when you start seeing the differences in your animal you will be hooked for life.
