Sorry, whatever you say, I cannot believe that highly processed food from dubious sources (rendering plants) which most kibbles originate from; can be better than raw food. Even non organic, and although my experience is anecdotal it is *my* experience and I have seen it with my own eyes; many times. One woman had spent thousands (literally) on her dog with constant diarrhoea always the result, until she went to raw. She had tried every kibble there was and I mean *every* one with no success. Someone else I know had the same problem with both her Labradors, and the youngest one was due to be operated on for hip dysplasia, and was on the strongest painkillers. I persuaded her not to have the op but to give him a few months (he was eight months) to allow his bones to sort themselves. She agreed, and at the same time asked me what my dogs were fed on because they looked so well. When I told her, she asked me to order her some, and her dogs recovery was nothing short of a miracle! Literally within weeks he had bloomed; no diarrhoea and within two months he was off painkillers and running with the best. I could go on and on, as I have so many stories that are just the same; the change in the dogs was miraculous. Two of my dogs had the same story, so I know first hand that it is true. One was fed for six years on kibble, and I tried EVERY kibble on the market; even one that cost me £18 per kilo and was supposed to be hypo allergenic! On the other hand, I have known many, many dogs who are constantly at the vets, constantly having diarrhoea, bad skin, pancreatitis etc., who are fed kibble and whose owners will not change. This is their choice but I know what I would rather feed mine! Dee

Like I said I *know what is in kibble. I was studying raw feeding when Raw feeding wasn't cool, back in the 70's. I am trained in scientific Research and statistics. Show me the "raw" data and I will analyze the Information. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
