You are correct. One size fits all is not the case with food! I have no desire to argue with anyone and don't expect anyone to feed their pups what I feed mine. I do have a problem with people pushing ANY diet on people. Some of the things alleged here really annoyed me because there is NO evidence of food causing some of the issues mentioned. I follow veterinary nutritionists because they are, in my opinion, the experts on animal nutrition. If they are really good at what they do, they won't bash any particular food someone feeds their pup, but will assist them if it is not well balanced. My pups who don't require RX foods are all on Hill's Science Diet. I trust the company and please don't anyone come back and tell them they are bad. I just want to say this: I have had pups with many different conditions who may have started out on that food and ended up on RX...NO WAY did the food cause those issues as was alleged here. My Armani and Pippi will be 14 in May. They have been on the same food as the others and have never had any health issues. At the end of the day we each must do what is best for OUR pups.

If you have not had any of those conditions, thank your lucky stars. I can promise you it is not because you feed raw. Law of averages says if you get more pups the larger the risk (I am a prime example of that) Multiple pups...some very healthy, some not so much. One thing I can promise is that the "rotting teeth" are something your pups would have if they didn't have dentals unless you hit the lottery of yorkies with good teeth. (genetics plays a huge roll here) The "rot" has more to do with the size of their mouths than anything and often it starts above the gum line; so examining their teeth is not a valid way to know the health of their teeth. Dental x-rays are a must.
