After reading thru some things i've decided that homecooking is even more of a gamble then feeding raw or kibble. You need all these supplements because cooked food is no where near a natural diet for dogs. If you don't supplement then you run the risk of doing more harm then good. Feeding kibble, while also nowhere near their natural diets at least gives them all they need (if its a premium food). And if your feeding raw you don't need to supplement AT ALL. People who do supplement do it for their own ease, not the dogs, or because the dog needs something a little extra like joint protection. |
Yes that bravo recall reminded me exactly why I don't feed a pre made raw, they are so much more careful when it comes to meat that they think humans will be eating. Your right, feeding raw you do not need to supplement at all because they get everything they need from their food. The more you vary the different raw meats the more variety of vitamins they get. I do give salmon oil and vitamin e though, not because I think they need it but simply as a little extra for their coats and skin.
