The beef over pet food

Bowser gets raw meat because wolves eat it in the wild. Tabby gets raw chicken because lions don't eat kibble. But vets say the recent trend of raw feeding is dangerous to pets and people.

    raw food

    Patricia - if you're concerned about your dog eating manure (and from your post, I couldn't tell if you were), try feeding him/her plain, whole milk yogurt. Often, dogs eat other creatures' poop because they're lacking something in their diets and yogurt is a great remedy for that.

    LMAO - you're getting tiresome with your insults. I'd be interested to know what you really think and what's beneath the insults and name calling.

    RE: income and raw food. I'd define myself as middle class, live very frugally. Please don't make assumptions about raw food advocates' incomes. It's so trite and hackneyed. I've forgone certain things I used to enjoy so that I can afford to feed my pets a raw food diet.

    I may be opening a whole can of worms here, but no one has mentioned the vaccination controversy. There is more and more evidence (regarding felines) that there's an increase in cancerous tumors at vaccination sites on a cat's body. Anybody out there that has an opinion?
