Ok, this thread is cutting into my study time.
I would be much more willing to read some of these raw fed sites if I thought a substantial amount of research was applied. I see long answers about why non raw feeder concerns aren't valid and that is not what I like to see at all...
There is a bunch of, "Those non raw feeders are just trying to scare you about the parasite thing." Welllllll, ok, but the potential of giving my dog worm cysts doesn't sit right with me and I know by cooking the meat, we have taken care fo the problem. If worms and cysts were destroyed in digestion, then why do dogs get worms and why can they be found in the heart and brain? That is why I appreciate the people on YT who take time to look into these things without just saying, "It's fine. Don't worry about it. Your concern isn't valid" which I think a lot of these sites do.
As somebody said on Yahoo Answers who lost her dog to the BARF diet (I know it's just one person's story, but it's the same as a pro raw feeders story), break one of these bones in half and see what you get. It's sharp edges and doesn't look too pleasant. She did everything right too and yes, they were raw bones. It happens with any chew, but when something is that sharp, it is a concern.
I'd just as soon add vitamins back in, balance the diet, and not take the chance. I'm pretty sure premade raw would be better as far as safety b/c their foods should be tested before leaving.
