I've talked a lot about my disatisfaction with "random food events" and that how my diet choices affected my working dogs, was what drove my move to spreadsheets, becoming educated about nutrient balances, and using a nutrition expert, etc. I was organizing my hard drive for archiving onto an external drive, and realized I've got a really vivid pictoral sequence of what I mean.
Here's a couple pictures I took at the beginning of the adventure to show Ted's condition. He was slightly over a year old, and I was feeding "prey model" raw - true prey model in fact, since I had access to whole carcasses of ducks, chickens, and lamb. But the bulk of his calories had to come from chicken, turkey, and duck since these were cheapest and he ate a LOT. 
He was perfectly healthy - just had a complete physical.
This was after the switch to balanced home prepared a year ago, last spring. I added carb sources, fruits and veggies, and supplements.
This was after his potassium levels were adjusted by a nutrition expert, and in fact I'd switched to Orijen and raw bones combined right before this. But this was how he looked after the adjustment - there was no change between that and the Orijen.
