Raw Pet Food

[marie]

Having seen what passes through dogs digestive tracts over the years I have a hard time believing they can't handle eating raw food and kibble at the same time

And we are no more/less developed than any other species out there... our brain is developed, we stand and have opposable thumbs... we also have back problems because we stand (which our bone structure is not specifically designed for)... So I do not see how 'appearance' is a good basis for saying raw is better or worse....

But the basis for the arguments people give for feeding raw is that a dog has a shinier coat, don't shed as much, have less allergies ect. I have not yet seen that myself.

I can't comment on dogs having more stamina and energy because I need them to stand still and therefore have no idea if its true or not

and you can tell by "looking" that some kids have been raised on mickey dee's hamburgers

No you inferred that dogs live longer on a raw food diet and I felt a need to clarify that people who choose kibble aren't necessarily consigning their pet to a premature death



And if you keep rolling your eyes like that, you'll give yourself a headache

My beloved rottie Diva, was never vaccinated, never ate dog food, and drank filtered water all her life. I thought she was going to live a good long time since I made darned sure I did everything right... she was dead shortly after she turned seven due to Lymphoma

I did everything the pure and "right" way... it did not matter.
