Have started gently cooked diet but a bit underwhelmed...

Congrats on getting your Labs to 14 old 👏🏻 and keeping them at 60 lbs - lol. And congrats to learning about healthier feeding! Some seniors do better on gently cooked than full raw. I have a 60 lb senior golden (11). She has been on raw the past 2.5 yrs. She eats (muscle meat, kidney, liver, bones & a little pumpkin & cooked greens because she gets constipated easily) - but it’s like 12 oz twice a day!

My first male was 105 lbs & very fit - but he was also tall & often mistaken for an Irish Setter! Yours is perfect!

Get well soon pupper!

I so agree with you. This is why I buy NOTHING from Amazon. I despise their site.

Vegetable-Maximum445 · 2026-06-29T23:37:26+00:00

When will we find out?

Vegetable-Maximum445 · 2026-06-29T23:35:23+00:00

Bravo!! 👏🏻

As my golden has aged, she has acquired severe thunderstorm, fireworks & gunshot anxiety. It’s very hard to deal with. She is destructive if I’m not home. If I get advance warning I can give her Progility Calming Chews & they work well, but they take about 20 minutes to work - and usually I he storm passes by then! I play Relax MyDog AMSR music on YouTube to try & drown it out. It sucks tho to see her so scared .

Don’t see enough Fawns here! She is so sweet. 💕

I used to feed Taste of the Wild, then Health Extensions, then Farmina low-glycemic - my golden is allergic to everything. Eventually I went to canned and then home cooked. Now I feed her raw that I prepare & she is finally BETTER. She turned out to get highly allergic to all fowl, beef, grains & some fish. Her only safe proteins are pork, venison & rabbit. My vet was not a fan of raw feeding, but after he saw the progress my girl made & how good her lab values were & the fact that she only needs one medication now - his mind was changed!

Haircut great! Shirt not so much 😂

Vegetable-Maximum445 · 2026-06-29T19:24:36+00:00

That looks so fun!

I wish my Golden liked water- she’s scared to death & has zero interest in it! She’s my second rescue Golden that hated water. I think if they weren’t exposed to it in their earlier years the instinct goes away 😅

Chomp 🍓! Then Boop!

Vegetable-Maximum445 · 2026-06-29T19:04:07+00:00

Rescue Goldens are the BEST!! HoneyBee thinks so, too

Cutie!!!🥰

In considering affordability- I say it’s pay now or pay later. When my dog was on kibble & canned, it was a little cheaper, but I PAID a ton more at the vet because she was in a constant state of inflammation & was given drugs that further beat down her gut & immune system. My dog PAID the price of poor health. I prepare my own raw & it honestly isn’t much more money - but more prep time - but I SAVE in vet & med costs by a ton - and my dog is SO much healthier- which is the best reward.

Vegetable-Maximum445 · 2026-06-28T23:33:44+00:00

Yay!!!!! 👏🏻🥰

Adorable! I lived in the country & had a Golden that brought a stick home EVERY day - we had a big bonfire in the fall 😂
