(my vet told me that only a minority of people are feeding their dogs raw diet. which makes sense to me)
it also bothers me when articles/info. written about raw only focuses on all the benefits of a raw diet for dogs without discussing all the un-knowns and possible dangers. while i wish someone could just tell me a simple answer when it comes to what is the best diet for dogs, i still appreciate honesty and objectivity more than my lazy preference for a simple answer.
i think most of the info on raw diet is good, but the reliability of the info is questionable, and honestly, it would make their points stronger if they point out what is not known at this point and their own biases. that way, at least we can make our own informed choices on what to do... |
Very well put, especially the bolded part. I love seeing both sides of the coin so I can make my own educated decision. Like spaying/neutering vs leaving your pet unaltered. There are arguments on both sides, I read it and came to my own conclusion.
