Brooks, I very much appreciate your sensitive view of differing
viewpoints on a dog's diet. My dog and most I have known will eat raw
grass and other raw plants of their choosing whenever they feel like
it. It may well be a natural form of medicine for them, who knows?
Anyway, thanks for the update etc. -- Kathryn

Hello Barbara,
Your observations about carbohydrate requirements are quite well
taken. However, without being confrontational, one point might be of
value to list members......while canines are carnivores, unlike
felines they are not obligate carnivores. That is, many do exhibit the
ability to partially digest various forms of
carbohydrates....including forms of unprocessed vegetative matter. I
state this not to be argumentive, but to NOT encourage persons feeding
their dogs certain vegetable forms......to cease just because dogs can
do well without them. The reason being that this ability to extract
useful portions of beneficial juice-borne compounds from certain
classes of vegetative matter-----has demonstrated to be vital in some
health cases. This condition stands as useful quite beyond nutritional
considerations.....especially considering possible pathogenic,
parasitic and toxic insults. Lacking this ability, it would be
fruitless to give them substances similar! to kelp meal.
Thank you for your commentary. Brooks.

I have four Chihuahuas and I feed 100% raw diet since 1998.
Your adding the real food to your dogs diet is great but I will say
that adding cooked oatmeal is not necessary because they already have
the carbs in kibble. Dogs being carnivores have no need for
carbohydrates at all.
Libby's story is a great example what good diet can do to get rid of
cancer. You didn't say if Libby gets her chicken in addition to her
kibble or is she eating it as her only food. Either way it is a great
triumph and a testimony for the REAL foods.

Our present, daily diet, regimen includes: 1.25 cups of a 38% meat
product dry food, 1.5 cups of 70/30 raw milk/homogenized mix, 1/2 cup
cooked oatmeal, 7-to-8 oz raw chicken quarter, 1/4 cup whole fish
(canned product), one large dry dog biscuit, one tablespoon marine
kelp, one tablespoon 5 ppm CS, 1 teaspoon brewers yeast, one
One-a-Day type
vitamin pill (crushed). All of the dogs are in peak health and look
like slick seals.
Our vet bills have diminished from around $3000.00 per year circa
2000 A.D......to
essentially, nothing in 2007-----primarily (we believe) because of
their diet.
