Myths about a raw diet

Misconceptions about feeding dogs a raw diet abound: dogs are omnivores, dogs have adapted to cooked diets, raw diets are not balanced, even feeding raw meat makes a dog bloodthirsty.

These myths, and many more, are covered at http://rawfed.com/myths/.

I suffered through my Basenji’s intestinal problems and diarrhea for four years. Tests for parasites and giardia were negative, and no matter what type of dry or canned food I tried, the problem persisted. After a lot of research and talking with owners who feed a raw diet, I made the switch. Ziggy now eats raw chicken, beef, lamb, liver, and fish–and his digestive problems are completely gone. No more kibble (sometimes called “krapple”) for my dogs, ever again.

This is one dog owner’s story and, of course, owners must make their own decision about what to feed their dog, but for me and my guys, the choice is clear.

  1. One thing I want to touch upon is that weightloss program fast can be carried out by the right diet and exercise. Ones size not just affects the look, but also the quality of life. Self-esteem, despression symptoms, health risks, and physical skills are disturbed in extra weight. It is possible to do everything right and still gain. If this happens, a problem may be the root cause. While a lot of food and not enough physical exercise are usually the culprit, common health conditions and traditionally used prescriptions can certainly greatly increase size. Many thanks for your post right here.

  2. I believe that avoiding ready-made foods is a first step so that you can lose weight. They can taste good, but packaged foods have got very little nutritional value, making you try to eat more in order to have enough vigor to get through the day. If you’re constantly taking in these foods, switching to whole grains and other complex carbohydrates will aid you to have more energy while feeding on less. Great blog post.
