We will progress so much quicker, and our furfriends will benefit from longer, healthier lives when we stop thinking of them as people. I know it's a difficult transition. Believe me! I was TERRIFIED when I switched to RAW Meaty diet five(?) years ago with my Mozart (mixed Shih-tzu/Maltese/Silky). But, I know this saved his life. Very long story there . Abigail has been fed RAW Meaty diet since she was 9 weeks old, and 2.2lbs. She's doing great, and looks forward to her meals! She can put the hurt on a chicken leg, I'll tell ya! It breaks my heart to see so many posts by people who love their pets, saying that the pup won't eat. My theory is that it's most often because the dog knows what his/her body needs, and it's not the fillers, plastic, grains, diseased animals in the kibble set before him.
