I feed a very varied raw diet with lots of different raw meaty bones, muscle meat, organ meat, raw eggs, live yogurt and a small amount of pureed fruit and veg.

Unlike home cooking there is little need to supplement with a raw diet because they actually get everything they need from it. The only supplements I use are salmon oil and vitamin e.

I don't worry about salmonella because a healthy dog has the stomach acids to combat it if it is there in the first place.

Dogs have completely different enzymes in their stomachs which allow then to thrive on bacteria that would be harmful to us.

Meat was never supposed to be cooked, the only reason we have to cook it for us is because as we are evolved from chimps (who are vegetarian) we are not even supposed to eat meat so we cannot handle it in its raw form. Dogs are evolved from wolves, they can handle it.

As for vets, you just have to find a good one. My vet actually admitted to me that anyone who has done more than 2 hours of research into their dogs diet knows more than her and most other vets. They simply promote what they are paid to. There is a fantastic holistic vet in the UK called Nick Thompson, he is a huge promoter of the raw diet.


People who criticize raw are usually just too scared to try it, thats fine but they shouldn't go around making out that others should not feed it.

Due to allergies if it wasn't for raw my Indy would be a complete mess, dry flakey skin, bad coat, weeping eyes. I tried everything, all the best dog foods and even home cooked, it did not help her. Within 2 weeks of raw you woulden't of ever known she had health problems. She looks fantastic now, all of my dogs and other raw feeders dogs do.

Raw saved my little girl and all of my dogs are absolutly thriving on it, they've never looked and acted better.
