RE: Dogs and people food page 8This is a discussion thread · 82 replies Wolf <>: well if its luck, then i must be real lucky, because i havent had a problem for 16 years of this and the amount of dogs i have fed this is great. close to 50 or 60. not one incidence. have a calculator? what are the odds of me being lucky?anyhow, i dont feed them just a raw diet, their staple is pedigree dog food, i feed them that as a supplement. But, i could show you many arguments that if you want a dog with a healthy immune system you better be feeding them a raw meat diet, it cures cancer, some autoimmune diseases, and allows for a completely healthy immunie system that combats god know how many diseases. would you like links? flick off, just kidding, lol, couldnt resist. wolf "flick" >

Wolf <>: Acid, not fat. Fatty Acids arent fat, they are acids, stomach acids digest the bone before it enters the small intestine, the small intestine absorbs the nutrients, then the large intesting ingests the water. Who said anything about enzymes? Im talkin about calcium breakdown.wolf quiz; where does digestion first take place?

Wolf <>: http://www.thepetcenter.com/imtop/contrast.html heres to your corn diet, and it may explain why i give my dogs ground turkey, chicken wings, broccoli, vitamins, among other good stuff. as far as raw meat, im getting to that still will send you more links wolf [nq:1]And while all fats contain fatty acids, not all fatty acids are good for all things. For example, omega-3 fatty ... systems (not enough to harm healthy dogs, but something you'd consider before supplementing a dog with existing immune system problems).[/nq] Throwing slabs of beef fat at your dogs

Wolf <>: Heres another one for you Flick, and anybody that is interested in a raw meat diet.Q. Why raw meat? A. Handling raw meat can be a messy job and your preference may be to feed your companion something closer to what you would eat, but your needs and those of your dog are completely different.Raw meat is the natural source of protein for both carnivorous and omnivorous animals. Protein is an amino acid, and an amino acid is a molecule. Raw meat is made up of long molecule chains that are easily broken down by the dog's digestive system. The long molecule chain is broken into short chain amino acids through the cooking process, and the dog is left with a deficiency of a complete amino acid profile. Amino acids, essential nutrients, enzymes and antioxidants are destroyed or altered through the cooking process. These nutrients are absolutely vital to good health, and in fact are essential for every biochemical activity in your dog's body. The feeding of cooked or processed foods interferes with many of the body's normal functions, and therefore is responsible for impairing or otherwise compromising the immune system. When fat in the meat is cooked it transforms to trans-fats, which are toxic and have been found to have a detrimental effect on the immune system, cell membranes and liver function. taken from http://www.knowbetterdogfood.com/faq.php

Wolf <>: Another one for you flickModern man has modified a number of characteristics of the canine. But there's one thing man has not altered... the basic nutrient requirements of the dog. Dogs need today essentially the same nutrients that their predecessors required eons ago. That is precisely why there has been so much notice given to the practice of feeding dogs (and cats, too!) raw meat and other unprocessed foods. There is ample proof that today's pet dogs and cats DO NOT thrive on cheap, packaged, corn-based pet foods. Dogs and cats are primarily meat eaters; to fill them up with grain-based processed dry foods that barely meet minimum daily nutrient requirements has proven to be a mistake. And the fact that some pet foods have artificial colors and flavors added simply reveals the trickery needed to coax dogs and cats into consuming such material. http://www.thepetcenter.com/xra/bonecomp.html
