ETA> Chuckles, you heard that a dog’s head will *explode* if fed raw meat? Wow LOL. What a myth!
that raw feeding is the ONLY way a dog should be fed, and your dog will drop dead on the spot and turn inside out if you so much as think about feeding it anything else.
I agree raw food is important, but so is having a varied and balanced diet, as dogs are not just hunters/ carnivores, but also have always been scavengers.
Ive heard enough c**p here that just about covers every thing ive heard
lol
The “people food” thing does have some aspect of truth however
this I think refers to things like chocolate (that is potentially toxic for dogs) and all the crud that our food is made with (additives & preservatives etc). And maybe this is directed at people that feed there dog, ‘left overs from the chippy’, and ‘ready meals’ and say things like “oh it won’t do him any harm”….. saying all that, most of the Commercial dog food is as bad as some of those things any way…. so which ever way you look at it Raw is probably the best way forward
It’s natural. But it does have it’s down side. It gives them worms and that is not a myth.
Feeding dried food has more side effects. It causes kidney failure, cancer and auto immune diseases.
These things were not around before dried food was invented.
Dogs ate table scraps and lived to a ripe old age.
And that’s not a myth either.
“gives them a taste for blood” (similar to your aggressive myth)
“chicken bones will kill your dog”
“human food is bad for dogs”
“kibble is nutritionally balanced for dogs”
“But your dog will get salmonella and E.ecolli.”
“Raw meat will make yor dogs head explode.”
“If your dog eats blood, he will become a KILLER.”
Stupid…little…myths…
Edit _ Seems like the TD fairy is out…
Every vet I have ever known has disagreed with raw feeding
That “people food” is bad for dogs. As if humans are the only creatures that eat beef or chicken.
I’ve never seen any correct info here.
I’v heard that once a dog eats raw meat and gets a taste of it, they’ll go mad! Oh my!
