Don't humans also share 99% of our DNA with mice and 98% with apes? LOL. But I get your point. I've followed this thread, too, and the whole subject of raw feeding since learning about it on YT - and want to feed Tibbe the best thing for him that comprises the least risk to his day-to-day health and lifestyle. Still not convinced that raw feeding is for Tibbe because wolves ate/eat it anymore than I want to eat the mice/ape diets my above "brothers" ate/eat but giving it my first serious hard look all the same, as early dogs ate raw a lot but they also ate any scavenged cooked food, cooked/raw veggies, fruit & grains they could get once the boldest or least shy befriended man and started to evolve into canines. I'm still reading all that I can but still unsure if ancestral dogs' supposition of eating all raw is basically why dogs are fed it or there are years of credible studies by financially disinterested entities of pure reputations proving its health/longevity benefits and how risks are calculated into the final assessments - or both. So I am still reading and reading.
This vet warning that is set to come out has really gotten my attention though. Are they the same organization of vets whose vaccine protocol is now largely seen as the healthiest to follow or a different group, I wonder?
I would do anything to keep Tibbe from getting sick as he did in early June and lasting over a month so am vitally interested in this thread.
