So glad to read the posts you'v...Hi Y'all,<br /><br />So glad to read the posts you've made on raw diet. I remember my mom ordering frozen horse meat and feeding it when I was young. I thought that was awful, 'cause we raised horses. She eventually switched to canned food. <br /><br />Since I have a dog with food allergies, among other allergies, I've had people suggest raw feeding. I talked to his vet about it and still feed the food she recommends. I also buy it from her although it is available in Petco and Petsmart. I also like the convenience of getting most of my meds from the vet. But that's just me.<br /><br />BrownDog's HumanFANCY the Red Standard Poodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369189341017481001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667516629745731439.post-67933187074315831012012-05-06T23:55:06.540-07:002012-05-06T23:55:06.540-07:0023: I think retractable leashes are a bad plan in ...23: I think retractable leashes are a bad plan in general. Trainers believe that they teach dogs to pull and our vet believes that they can contribute to neck damage.<br /><br />24: I would definitely not use a vitamin supplement arbitrarily. Quite often this might lead to excess of some, while still being deficient in another. I believe that any supplementation needs to be evaluated on individual basis. Not only based on what the present diet is, but also base on the needs of the individual body. We supplement selectively, based on Jasmine's individual needs.<br /><br />25: I find this quite ironic, in the light of the recent situation with commercial dog food recalls and human illnesses that came from that. How exactly is raw more dangerous than commercial kibble again? Truly.<br /><br />26: Totally agree here.<br /><br />28: Totally agree here also.DawgBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549947489170037163noreply@blogger.com
