I recommend feeding a raw diet, but what does that mean and why do choose to feed raw. I want to know what exactly is going into my dogs just like I do with my family, I go to the grocery store and I buy food for my dogs just the way I do for us, which means fresh meat.
Yes, they eat different cuts of meat than we do and no they do not eat fruits and vegetables. Dogs have a different digestive system than we do, they are designed to eat meat, dogs are carnivores.
Kibble, why not feed kibble? Kibble is easy and when you look at the picture on the bag it looks like they will be getting lots of healthy meat. But kibble is not required to use human-grade meat that has been inspected.
“The primary ingredients in pet food are byproducts of meat, poultry, and seafood, feed grains, and soybean meal. Among the animals used in rendering are livestock, horses, and house pets which have been put to sleep. The National Animal Control Association estimated that each year about 5 million pets were shipped to rendering plants and recycled into pet food during the 1990s. They are generally listed as meat or bone meal in the ingredient lists.

According to Slate.com Many ” facilities that find themselves with large volumes of otherwise unusable dead animal parts, including animal shelters and veterinary clinics that euthanize a lot of animals.”
“ parts from slaughterhouses, whole carcasses of diseased animals, cats and dogs from shelters, zoo animals, roadkill and expired meat from grocery store shelves (tossed in fully packaged, complete with plastic wrap and Styrofoam).”
We have all heard the saying we are what we eat, so are our dogs. I don’t want to feed my dogs eating the chemicals used to euthanize animals. I also don’t want to feed them styrofoam, which is known to cause cancer.
