I can understand not wanting to feed your animals or your family so much processed food.
I think it will be interesting, since her dog works among animals -sheep, it appears from her photo-, if the raw meat diet gives her dog a taste for lamb (if you know what I mean).
I’d like to hear her discuss with vegetarians, their glowing reports of how well their dogs do on a vegatarian diet.
I noticed that in the comments section, most people who didn’t have their dogs eating commercial food, were cooking meat - not giving it to them raw - and also adding rice and vegetables - not exactly what wild dogs would do.
Commercial dog food hasn’t been around very long. My parents’ generation fed their dogs table scraps and rarely went to the vet - then again they rarely went to the doctor themselves.
All in all, I think she’s going off the deep end with the raw meat diet - though by writing this article, she’s probably pulling a few in with her.
Well, if you haven't done it why are you trashing it? I've fed raw for over 12 years and my dogs basically never see the inside of a vets office, no need to take them just to take them when they never get sick, have gleaming white teeth and good stools.
Actually, feeding raw does not give them a taste for any animal unless the person feeding raw is feeding alive “raw”. We feed our heelers raw (along with our three yorkies). The onyl one who chases chickens is the young heeler but he’s learning to not do that. The older one knows it is wrong to chase chickens and the cows. Yorkies teeth are major clean since feeding raw. There is people on the yahoo raw fed group who have big dogs fed raw who have farm animals and non of them have problems with the dogs wanting the live animals. It is the same principal that vegans/vegetarians throw out that people eating meat are more violent. Our smallest yorkie (at 4 lbs) gets a meal about the size of a golfball - per day. She stays full on that. I was amazed. 2-3% of adult body weight is all they need. Over feed and they bury it for later.
