The raw that is so popular is from the grocery store and I am not comfortable with that. Besides a Yorkie is not a wolf and is now so domesticated that some are so picky (like my Cerise) that they don't mind letting you know that they WILL NOT eat, or drink commercial garbage food or nasty tab water. I don't blame them at all  |
Again, not trying to argue, but I will stick up for raw when I feel it's necessary. The raw I feed DOES have blood, skin, fur, and organs. Yorkies, as well as all dogs, ARE wolves. They are taxonomically the same species with the domesticated dog as a subspecies of the wolf. They are also physiologically and anatomically the same, sharing 99.8% of the same DNA. The differences in appearance and size are accounted for in that less than 2%. I am not saying raw is better than homecooking but I wanted to point out the discrepancies posted.
