Please, I'm not suggesting you shouldn't feed raw, I'm only saying we don't know enough about it yet to satisfy me. My point is that there are pros and cons with every food choice, and I'm uncomfortable with anyone who suggests their are no cons to their food choice, I just think it means that we don't know enough about it yet. I was only suggesting to the OP, that there will be some realistic negatives to her food choice, and she will have to weigh the good with the bad, and come to a decision on what's right for her dog at this point in his life. |
From your post, it seems like you felt I was attacking you. I am so sorry if it came across that way, I was no way trying to argue with you. I just wanted to point out that there are some pretty great benefits to raw and I think sometimes it gets a bad rep from vets/pet food companies/pet owners, etc. I understand that the evidence out there isn't enough to convince some pet owners but we shouldn't let that get in the way of other pet owners being convinced. I too agree that there are negatives to any diet, particularly raw, but for me those negatives are far overshadowed by the positives. Sometimes my enthusiasm can be a little overzealous so I'm deeply sorry if I offended you.
