Confessions of a Raw Feeder
In 1996, my partner and I founded True Carnivores, the raw food store for cats and dogs. I've been feeding a raw prey diet to my dogs for almost 2 decades now. Raised on raw, my Jill Russell Terrorist is now 18, and my Nova Scotia Duck Toller is 15. My cat was shifted to raw at age 18 and lived til 21 years. We saw so many benefits for all.
Benefits
- fresher breath
- cleaner teeth
- shinier coat
- no itchies
- not hotspots
- no fleas!
- and perhaps the biggest bonus for me, the human, was LESS POOP. The animals were not having to 'pump out' those undigested grains/carbs.
Well, I just recently decided to 'pass the torch' on to a new owner for True Carnivores (the store), but I haven't stopped talking about the value of feeding a raw diet to your cats and dogs. So, if any of you 'out there' have questions, or, need some encouragement on making the transition to raw...maybe I can help. And if you are in the Greater Vancouver area, always stop in and talk with the knowledgeable staff at True Carnivores. Your dogs and cats will LOVE you for it.!
Good on ya, Dakota! I'll be reading right along, as always.
