Re: Raw Diet (read) Hi! I have 2 mini dachshunds. Reina & Torres. Reina grew up eating raw, chicken with bones while Torres's diet is cooked mutton and brown rice. Though both of them are equally healthy, it is apparent that Reina has got a better built (even though she is a female). She is sturdy and stronger. So i thought it could be because of the raw diet Posted by reinadoxie - July 14, 2010 at 10:23 pm The following message was in reply to the "parent" topic above.

Re:Re: Raw Diet As every human is an individual, so are dogs. Some dogs live on kibbles and cans their whole lives without a problem, and I never argue with people regarding what or how they feed their dogs. The only problem is that most people are concerned with raw meat issues. And that is where a person has to look at the "animal" they own. Cooking meat destroys all the valuable nutrition, remember all the cells in your body are supplied by your blood, and that is where the the nutrients are in raw food. People put supplements into their dog's canned and kibbled foods, this makes no sense to me when it is all right there in the raw meat. I just walked my gang down the East River to 63rd from 90th Street and across to 5 Ave back up to my home (roughly 4-5 mile walk). I get a lot of compliments regarding my Doxies, their shine, their slim bodies, and natural appearance of health. But they get turned off when I tell them I feed them raw, as if they magically changed their little dogs into a human like eating creature. I am just amazed at how the commercial dog food companies and pharmaceutical corporations have basically brain washed people and vets to think the way they do. As a Human I require 8 amino acids to survive that my body can not create, dogs need a total of 10 amino acids to survive which their bodies do not create (Those 10 are arginine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine). If your vet can not tell you these 10 amino acids off the top of their head, maybe it's time to find one who can. Posted by 2.0paradox - July 17, 2010 at 9:18 pm
