Feeding Pets Raw Foods
All the talk about giving your pets Raw Food such as Chicken bones, Beef and Table Scraps. I realize that the Veterinarian Profession wants to keep animals healthy and safe, but there comes a point to which Natural is sometimes or even most times better than what the industry says. Dry Pet Foods serve a purpose for those big companies that make it----to make money.
Raw foods are good and nutritional for cats and dogs. Think of it this way--what would a dog or cat in the outdoors, in it's natural state be eating? Other live animals.Natural Foods. That is not what makes their lives less enjoyable or healthy. It's the fighting between animals and the killing by humans that do it.
In my observances about the natural state of my outdoor versus my indoor cats I learned some very interesting things. For one, the cats that live outdoors all the time don't have many fleas, but my indoor/outdoor cats have many fleas. Now my indoor cats will get fleas really bad. Is there something missing in the equation? They all get fed the same things. Only the outdoor cats get wild things on occasion. When the mommy cat brought me al her kittens and they were teething I gave them semi-frozen chicken wings. They loved them and they even fought over them even though I gave each one their own bone! I did no harm to them and it was very good for them. I did have to take them away from them when they got to bigger part of the bones, only because they would try to stuff the whole piece in their mouths at once and a few of the kittens got it stuck in their mouths! You just need to keep an eye on them. My dog, however, didn't really care for them.
Raw foods has gotten a bad name over the years. Chicken bones are healthy for your pets, if they will eat them. Just don't cook anything that you give raw. The cooking and heating process makes the bone brittle and that is what kills dogs or cats.........not uncooked ones. Raw means raw--uncooked. Here are a few sites in which you can get more detailed information from:
.....A prey model diet is one that is meant to resemble, as closely as possible, the diet that carnivorous canines and felines have evolved to eat, and have been eating, for many thousands, if not millions of years. It's a diet that is modeled on the kinds of whole prey critters that are consumed by our domestic dogs' and cats' wild counterparts........
,,,,The pet food industry has been running in place and causing immeasurable harm to pets for at least 75 years. It presents an egregious example of scientific hubris and commercial irresponsibility. Whether you have pets or not, what follows will underscore and substantiate everything the book has said thus far regarding how wrong society can be on health and nutrition. Only in this case, our wrongness falls upon innocent pet victims. ,,,,,,,,
