A Yorkie may not be able to survive on it's own in the wild but that does not make them any less a wolf. Yorkies are not simply "related back to the wolf", they ARE wolves. They are genetically, anatomically, and physiologically the same. That means that their bodies are designed the exact same way and they require the exact same diet. It's obvious that there are alternative ways of providing the "same" nutrition -- kibble, supplements, etc., but why not give it in it's natural form?
Let's get real here, I feed prey-model raw which includes muscle meat, organ, bones, and WHOLE PREY, even some wild prey. I don't see any whole prey, organs, bones, fur, skin, etc. provided in homecooked or kibble so what exactly is your point? The same nutrition is provided in pre-made raw as is in kibble or homecooked. There is no "better" form.
I agree that they should take the time and research what works for their Yorkies and their lifestyle which is why I am taking the time out to educate others on the benefits of raw feeding.
As many others (including myself) have posted
numerous times, it is important to pick what works best for you, whether it be kibble, canned, homecooked or, God forbid, raw. I just don't quite understand how putting down raw helps the education or is beneficial to the discussion. Pointing out the cons is an entirely different story. I could pick out the flaws in every diet but I don't because I don't think it's necessary --
different diets work for different people, period. I'm simply here to share my knowledge and experiences about a diet that has worked for me and millions of other pet owners.
