Who else feeds RAW?

Just to be nit-picky, you will see in my original post about her that I did not say she was allergic to meat I do not doubt that she is highly allergic to a mulitiude of other things, but she is simply unable to properly process meat protein.

And absolutely, if it were in the wild, she wouldn't survive.

Glad to have explained it to the best of my memory.

:rofl1::rofl1:

(Although the dog who is allergic to humans is a corgi. And he really is. Showed up in his allergy testing...positive for allergy to human dander.)

If I was new here I would be totally with you, 100%.

But I KNOW there are lots of educated people on this board who DONT think they are gods gift to the earth and are happy to share their beliefs in a much much much nicer fashion.

Please dont ever read another post by these three new "zealots" who have joined... I dont plan to either... in time I guarantee they will be gone

But dont be turned off all together to topics regarding food.

Now, wherever did you get that idea?

May I have a moment of your time to spread the good news about our lord and saviour, meat?

^^^ This.

Raw, like any other diet, comes with its pros and cons, but overall it can indeed be an excellent way to feed your dog if you have the time, space and dedication for it, and it works for you and your dog.

So now you go and exclude all the vegetarians from your little "religion"

j/k

It's more than an opinion, the way we feed out dogs approximates as closely as we can what dogs/wolves have eaten since the beginning of time. It is the way nature intended them to eat. If that was not a fact they would have different teeth, mouths, stomachs, and intestines along with different pancreas and liver. This is not just something I made up. It is all provable fact.

It does make me completely right but whether the other methods of feeding are wrong depends on how closely you want to feed your dogs the ideal food based on their biological makeup.

If they don't agree with me, and many people don't, the let them come up with logical scientific reasons why they don't. So far I have yet to see any of that. All I see is criticisms of my methods of delivery of information, not the information itself. People don't like when I say things against their belief systems and hate it even more when they can't prove me wrong.

For example, I have asked many many times on various boards over 7 years for someone to tell me what needed nutrients a dog would get from fruits and/or veggies that isn't in the meat, bones, and organs of the prey animals that eat them. I have never gotten an answer.

I'll never say never but for the life of me, I can't imagine what that could be. Possibly it will be discovered some day in the far distant future that dogs really decended from cows and are herbivores, but I don't think that is very likely. :rofl1:

Seriously, I don't think that dog exists.

Seriously?

opcorn:

Exactly Allie......I had him quoted and was going to respond to a bunch of it, but nah.......changed my mind.

Let him be the "raw fed god" he thinks he is, he's a legend in his own mind :rofl1:

Hey, sorry, I am a strict follower of meat. Especially bacon.

(might explain my weight issues, though... hah)

*hands out bowls of kibble to dogs*
*watches them be exceedingly happy*
*enjoys that they are incredibly healthy*

*offers nyx a chicken back*
*watches nyx be miserable because she doesn't understand that it's food and is hungry and feels very frustrated over being unable to eat what is offered*
Yup, my dogs are less happy on kibble.

I don't think bacon alone is a complete diet though. You really need to include some cake in there.

STOP pushing your beliefs on me... cake is BAD, it will cause you to die early... do you think the cavemen had cake?!

Zealot!

It is a fact that cake is a necessary part of my diet.

:rofl1:

I just asked Xena. She's happy with her kibble. You can't tell me otherwise. I'm 100% right, so there.

Yep, I think they did, and unless you can scientifically prove they didnt, Im right and your wrong!!!

It really is like a religion tho...but I'm Atheist...so...am I truly Atheist if I believe in Meat? LOL :rofl1:

Actually yes...I have only seen a few people actually post up a good rebuttle contributing to the discussion, the others have either been too hurt to post or just said what they feed...which we don't bash them for.

Prove him wrong. That will make both sides look more credible.

That is classic. I think that is what I will call him from now on, but not in a mean way, but in a haha funny way :lol-sign:

Now that is just plain mean

Actually...I plan on sticking around, even though you and a few others don't welcome us or the way we post up

Have you noticed that RFD and I have not turned nasty towards you the way that you have to for bashing the way that we post?

It really does suck that people don't see it as being confident, but not mean...but rather arrogant. Instead of getting mad and hurt...post up a rebuttle to the debate in your own confidence. That will make you more credible in this whole thing.

Confident is not the same as arrogant. If you have received a half dozen posts telling you you're coming across as arrogant, I suggest you consider that you are being arrogant--not confident as you seem to believe.

I feed kibble, because it contains enough nutrition to keep my dog happy, healthy, and fit. She looks phenomenal on it. She has more energy than I know what to do with, and she loves her kibble so much I can use it as treats and she'll still go nuts for it.

I tried raw for a week (not long enough for a full transition, I know), but she was pooping straight liquid (and couldn't hold it in to make it outside), throwing up, and was lethargic/bleh for the whole week. My husband finally told me I needed to stop, because it wasn't fair to her or us. If we need to go through 2-3 months of that to fully acclimate her to a raw diet, there is no way she will ever eat raw! It just doesn't seem worth it to me--even if it is slightly better (and I happen to think premium kibbles don't need much improvement), I'm not going to make my dog suffer for 3 months for that minimal improvement. I don't think that will make my dog "happier" in any way!

I am glad to hear this! 1.) I don't personally find YOUR posts offensive and 2.) I LOVE the danes in your avatar, LOL

Depends on what you call nasty I guess. When RFD states HE is right and everyone else is wrong, I consider that nasty *shrugs* When zoom posted links that went against HIS "personal beliefs" he shrugged them off and still reiterated he was completely right and everyone else was still wrong.......*chuckles* It's all opinion and decisions of individuals no matter what his OPINION may be on the subject, LOL

People don't see it as "confidence" when someone with an *OPINION* states THEIR opinion is right and other OPINIONS are wrong. They see that as being arrogant ........plain and simple.

(you will notice my use of the word OPINION because no matter what he thinks, it's all speculation as nobody ACTUALLY knows where dogs came from, what their diet was, and how evolution has affected them........all opinion and speculation )
