I skimmed it after it looked to be the usual info... what was the "hidden" truth??
I feed raw. Denna's diet is based on the "Whole Prey Model Raw" plan, but I add in veggies and fruits randomly, because Denna enjoys them, and I've read scientific studies that suggest incorporating some veggie content (but not grains) lead to reduced instances of various cancers.
If you have kids... how do you feed them? convenience foods? fast food? hamburger helper out of a box? or whole foods, prepared fresh at home with no preservatives or added synthetic chemicals? Which do you think will better help your kids become healthy functioning adults?
I don't like to eat "fortified cereal" from a box for every meal (or for any meal, for that matter)... so I don't feed my dog "fortified kibble" every day either.
I personally feel MUCH better eating what they now refer to as "clean"... i.e. whole foods, minimally processed, in balanced and as-needed (not too much, not too little) quantities.
I can't help but translate that to expecting my dog to feel better when eating fresh meals of raw meats, organs and bones.
So, what do I think? I think a home-prepared raw diet is the best diet you can feed your dog. But I also think the link has a lot of personal commentary in it that is unnecessary.
The video in the link started off silly..the dog as a sophisticated biological machine.... hmm.... not sure I buy into that. Biology has adapted to a LOT of crap over the eons, and has lots of methods to survive on really bad fuel. Depending on the dog's genetics, the quality of the fuel may - or may not - have a significant effect on the dogs's overall quality (and quantity) of life. There are people here who feed their dogs purina dog chow, and the dog does fine. But there are MANY others who have dogs that itch like crazy and have other serious health issues when fed that low-quality fuel.
Note - heart is NOT fed as an organ, it is fed as muscle meat. His meal is NOT balanced. It needs liver and other organs (like kidney, spleen, brain, pancreas, or any other secreting organ) to fill out the nutrient profile. Also, with big dogs, you don't have to cut up the meat into such small pieces. If you want the dog to benefit from a good tooth flossing, leave the chunks in big enough pieces that they'll need to chew, and get the meat sinews to floss a bit!
