My girl had terrible wind on kibble. Terrible! She had lots of anal gland issues so we changed to raw but it didn’t help and in the end we had her anal glands removed. Best thing we did.
we carried on feeding raw. I’m currently feeding the free flow Albion tripe and chicken mince with Dorwest herbs keepers mix extra vegetables and she also gets rabbit ears tripe treats etc. she looks amazing. Weight stable plenty of energy. Any thoughts? Thanks for reading. Pic of beast!

Ideally, you want to feed a few different meats - variety stops them developing sensitivity to something. Personally I don't add veg but some do. She looks well though, if it's not broke don't fix it I guess

Does the Albion mix have any organ meat in it, do you know? Liver, kidney etc? That's the main thing I would say she might be missing, unless she gets it in treat form. Tripe is awesome but doesn't count as a 'secreting organ' which is supposed to make up 10% of a raw diet apparently. I have no idea whether my boy gets 10% honestly, I just make sure he has some 'complete' mixes (meat, organ and bone) and some liver or kidney on his food every now and then!

No it doesn’t have any organ meat. So a bit of liver now and again I guess?

Yeah I would do that! Apparently some dogs don't like the texture of raw liver (mine'll eat ANYthing!?) so don't buy too much the first time in case she turns her nose up - I find packs of liver and kidney turn up in Tesco reduced counter quite often so I get some, slice it up and freeze it :)
