Re: raw food diet for dogs
Fiona,
I agree with Invincible.
I too feed a raw diet to our dogs and they are the epitomy of health. They have perfectly clean teeth, no dog breath, no doggy smell (except when they play in the mud - ha), and shiny beautiful coats....and so, so much more. I find it cheaper to feed raw and so very simple to do. Not to mention the fun it is to watch them.
Dogs are really wolves and their digestive system is short and acidic and designed to digest meat. The acidity takes care of any parasites.
Here are some interesting books to read if you want some more info about why it is good to feed raw and bad to feed commercial food.
