Janet,
Have you studied the intestinal tracks of dogs? The reason I feed a
raw diet is I want all grains out of the diet since their intestinal
track is not designed to deal with grains. I live in a rural area
and feed prey method to my dogs. None get are exposed to any
chemicals here at home. I cannot afford to feed the dogs organic but
would if I could. But I do feed only human grade food.
Have you ever seen any dog raid a grain, corn or rice field? I
haven't and the dogs on the farm I grew up on never did. What I
don't get are the people who try to feed veggies and go through all
the effort to juice or cook them so the dogs can digest something
that they are not designed for.
I'm sorry to hear of your loss of pups. From your post I assume your
bitch had eclampsia which could kill the bitch but what was the
cause of the pups death?
I feel it is very important to study the diet of wolves and feed dogs
accordingly.
Sorry but I feel that valid comparisons have been in the wild for
many years and that can not be considered anecdotal information.
My new profession is speaking at seminars teaching Natural
Rearing. I do this so that people can learn how to feed a raw meaty
bones diet correctly to avoid as many problems as they can. I also
introduce them to not vaccinating etc.
I don't trust the AFCO or any kibble manufacturer and haven't for
many years since I found out about them using pets that were
euthanized in pet food. They are only another industry who to make
a profit uses the cheapest materials they can buy to use in
manufacturing pet food.
Funny but we tend to watch the show "How it's made" every time they
show a food product I am sickened. I don't buy much in the way of
processed food for us to eat as I love to cook from scratch.
