Kathryn,
You can feed what you choose to that is your right. But common sense
dictates a carnivores ideal diet would be meats and bones. It is
really a shame that you refuse to believe that the way your are
feeding your dog could be harmful.
The current crop of kids here in the US are being fed terrible diets
I'm sure you can concur. So yes they adapt to eating fast food or
Hamburger Helper etc. But the health of these kids is not the best,
few are really healthy eating that way. Common sense dictates
feeding organic food not chemical laden food. Wherein lies a
difference between children diet and health and dogs, diet and health?
Do you use a homeopathic veterinarian or an allopathic one? What
does the vet say about you feeding a vegetarian diet to your dog?
Dr. Mech has as others have pointed out stated wolves shake out the
stomach contents prior to eating the stomach.
Can I ask you to get Dr. Mech's books and read them before you close
your mind totally to these facts?
I didn't get where I am today by not researching the best possible
diet for my dogs and myself. I have many puppy buyers who are
veggans and they feed the dogs they get from me a raw meaty bones
diet. They get it that maybe their body dictates what they eat but
they accept dogs are carnivores and require meaty bones.
One of my puppy buyers recently commented about how his raw feed,
unvaccinated dog had never been to a vet and healthy as can be (dog
is 4 yrs old) but that the neighbor who got a pup at the same time,
well that dog who was given all the recommended vaccines and HW
preventives, flea and tick treatments is being taken to the vet all
the time for one problem or another. This is the typical scenario.
I know you are a good person as I've been reading your posts on this
list for a long time. I just want what is best for all dogs not just my own.
