I see your point, as someone who's seen the results from raw feeding allergic or dogs with health issues, it just makes me question when someone would rather feed food made in a lab, suppose it's because I wouldn't feed it to myself either. So being as I've seen the results I hope you understand my reasoning behind questioning these methods and my cinicism | |

| I don't want to outsmart myself. Cookie loves her Royal Canin, and my awesome breeder Deb recommends it for her health, so I gotta go with the expert on my team (especially since I'm not one lol).

| Well I will stick to the more natural methods available for feeding my dogs and natural holistic health care if they get ill, rather than something concocted in a lab with chemicals and landfill waste or bugs and maggots. Seems to me if you feed your dog in the most natural means available from day one the immune system will remain strong then allergies and organ failure will be the least of your worries, whether that be home cooking or raw feeding. I'd like to be in complete control of what goes in my dogs and aware of where the ingredients originated, which I am. |

Well said, and I totally agree, (I do the same) however, saying that, I am okay with people who have tried to keep their pets healthy... seeing the best vets, specialists etc, and then having to go to a medicinal food for health reasons. Be very selective with your vets... make sure you see a vet that has added nutritional training, regular vet. training spends very little time on nutrition and many more hours on pharmaceuticals and most if not all get bonus' for selling some dog foods in their practice. | |

| Yes indeed Kathy And I certainly don't slam anyone who has to resort to the means of feeding whatever medical food. |

| I'm not sure what the big problem is here. I think we would all prefer to feed our dogs foods that we cinsider natural. That is not always possible. Not sure why Rx foods are being supported here but yet it keeps coming up that this shouldn't be fed. Nobody is feeding this to their healthy dog.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | My goodness wringing chicken necks lol. I would imagine none of us go that far, unless of course we are farmers. You forgot to mention plucking them too.

| I did forget about plucking them too...ugh! LOL!! Oh well too much work so guess no chickens on my ranch but maybe I could pay my neighbors to do it for me. I would have to find out what they feed them first. Not sure the chicken we buy in stores is good for us humans much less my little girl. Stopped buying hamburger from W_____T (for me) because it smelled like ammonia when I cooked it. Just a little additives...right? On a more serious note I will buy or pay for whatever is good for my little girl. Just still confused on what that should be.
