Wolves and dogs are very different and yorkies are even more different. I had tried freeze dried raw and my older girl has IBD which can not be fixed by raw she has to be on a special diet Royal Canin Hypoallergenic small breed that has a man made protein in it because she is allergic to most real ones. I prefer homecooking to raw and had even tried that for her but some meats still caused issues even cooked duck and rabbit. She has no choice but to be on her prescription food and my vet didn't push it. When she was diagnosed my vet said this is the issue and we have these foods that can help and told me about each one and let me make my decision. Some medical conditions require prescription food. I have known several people who did right raw feeding and it made their dogs sick so it's not a one fits all thing it doesn't work for everybody. Did you know therapy dogs can't eat raw food or they are not aloud to visit the sick and elderly? Everything is not black and wight there are shades of many colors. |
So it wasn't the raw, your dog is sick there's something wrong with her personally so you can't blame the raw for that. I know a ton of people in the bully world that feed only raw because their dogs health issues litterally went away whether it was they couldn't keep weight or muscles on them or their coats were dry and balding in some areas. The grand parent to one one Rottweilers is raw fed has been raw fed since a puppy and she is turning 17 this year and she still gets out on her land and herds cattle. Me personally I switched because one of my toy poodles couldn't keep weight on and she was so picky about her food I started her on raw she took to it immediately started gaining weight and her hair texture changed and she now has the nicest poodle coat and 1 of my Rottweilers his eye would ooze this green gunk took him to the vet they wanted to put him on antibiotics I decided to switch him to raw before giving him any medicine to see if the problem would go away a week on raw his eyes cleared, his coat is the best I've seen it and I haven't had that problem since. My dogs are extremely healthy they visit the vet now every 3 years for rabies because I'm required by my license for them to have it but other than that and taking my pregnant girls in to get x-rays close to their due dates, and the occasional emergency they don't go to the vets. My puppies from my litter go to the vet once and that is before they leave to get a check up and a full exam.
