Is Raw Meat Safe for Dogs?

check out my website: www.dogscamefromwolves.com

it explains the benefits of feeding raw meat/bones to a dog, the vitamins and nutrients you get from various animals and organs they can eat, and also different supplements you can give them.

pet owners have to 'get over' this fantasy land we live in that our precous fido's eat kibble which is 1. convenient for americans because we all love our convenience and something that is quick and 2. we might think raw is disgusting and we don't want little tommy and little sarah seeing our dog eat a whole chicken.

Re Raw food



I am not a vet or the owner of a raw food outlet

These are some observations noted about 2 weeks after changing my dog's diet.

I own 2 dogs (boxers actually) They have been on a raw diet now for about 6 months.



Dog # 1 ( Male 80lbs)

1 ) Over all doggie smell Gone.

He had a overall doggie smell. A bath with a baking powder shampoo would help for about a week then the smell would return.



2) Bad breath Gone.

This dog could knock you over with his breath



3)pimples and minor skin infections Gone.

He used to get pimples on his chin which would occasionally bleed



Dog # 2 (Female 65lbs)

1) Less lethargic more active.

She would be less active on a walk and lay around the house more. Now she is much more active.



Both Dogs

1) Better looking coats.

Both my dogs now have healthier looking coats and I swear the white looks whiter



2)drink less water

They both drink less water. This is because the raw diet has more moisture than the premium kibble they were on.



2)Stools are substantially smaller approximately 20 % of pre diet size

Their stools are smaller and more firm mainly composed of bone. If left in the sun for a day or 2 they turn white and can be put in the garden.



Wish I had fed this way from the first. Feeding was scary at first as I too had fallen for the " it's not safe" comment. As long as the bone is not cooked they can have it. Mixing raw and kibble is not a good idea.



My conclusion

1) Most vets don't know much about nutrition. Your not being lied to by your vet but all they generally know is what the dog food companies tell them. A good dog food does not come from a vet's merchandise or an outlet store.
