Look into the BARF diet. Bones and raw food. I’ve fed this diet to my dogs for the last 30 years. They don’t get ear infections, skin infections etc. when feeding bones only raw bones. No chicken bones!! Just raw beef, deer bones etc. no cooked bones they splinter. We adopted an older dog and feed Honest Kitchen with a fist size helping of raw turkey and whatever veg we had the night before chopped up finely. No cooked bones they splinter. When I was younger I used to feed a raw chicken breast bones and all, veg’s some fruit every day. I’ll give applesauce or pumpkin if on a NSAD for arthritis. So, I just wanted to share my experiences.
When raw food is fed, dogs don’t drink as much, the food is moist. Kibble is dry so they have to drink in order for the toxic food (dry dog food ) to move through their digestive tract. On the kibble bag they list how much protein. This protein can be anything. When you feed raw you know what you are getting. It is my understanding, if anyone is worried about salmonella, that dogs have very short intestines (something like eight feet) so their food doesn’t stay long in their intestinal tract. Has your dog been vaccinated lately? Vaccinations cause a lot of problems. Lots of people don’t know that they don’t have to get their dogs a rabies vaccine every year. It’s every third year by law. But after age five or so if titers were taken, most of our dogs wouldn’t need a rabies shot for the rest of their lives. But it’s a vaccine and makes someone money!
