Feed our dogs raw food as well. Sometimes they eat better than I do.

My dog has a sensitive stomach and has been dealing with bouts of pancreatitis. He's currently on a prescription low fat diet. I've considered switching him to raw but im worried how his digestive system and pancreas will react so I have been hesitant.
Planning to consult with a nutritionist regarding the matter. |

Any vets here on the forum? How much time do you guys get on nutrition at Vet School? Oh, who sponsors it? (Iams, or Science diet maybe?) I got a prescription diet from my vet at the time for my golden being over weight.. Do you know what the filler is in Science diet RD is? Peanut shells, 0- nutritional value. My poor dog was starving to death while eating till he was full... As for chicken alergies, I would venture to say the allergy issues are to the antibiotics pumped into the chickens or cows and not the animals them self. There is a possibility but typically very rarely. Even my wife and I have issues with certain chicken meat, we can't eat non fair trade or organic without issues. Pets are the same, not likely an issue with the type of meat but how it was raised, fed, what it was treated with. I do agree, everyone should read up on what they are feeding their pets/family members.

I agree with David In Germany. The Rx foods from the vet are pretty crappy from what I've seen. |

On a serious note though, I do agree with you. Educating ones self and making an informed decision is always best. |

As I said in my other reply "somenelia does not effect dogs" I did not say they can't get it.

I could be mistaken (or buying the hype) but I believe the freeze dried raw brands like the one I switched my dogs to addresses the food safety issue through that freeze drying process. The bacteria cant survive it and it leaves the nutrients in place.

Dogs managed to survive eating dead and often decaying animals for tens of thousands of years, they're very robust
My boys eaten thousands of raw whole chickens and has never had a single problem with salmonella, although I do wipe his mouth before hes allowed to kiss us after eating |

http://vetnutrition.tufts.edu/2016/0...or-a-raw-deal/ Ultimately, each pet owner needs to research themselves and reach their own conclusion. This is one link from a 2 minute search. More exhaustive research can yield contradictory results or an overall more complete picture.

Quoting from Animal Planet:
"A pet food manufacturer made a mock product that had a guaranteed analysis of 10% protein, 6.5% fat, 2.4% fiber, and 68% moisture, similar to what you see on many canned pet food labels. The only problem, was that the ingredients were old leather work boots, used motor oil, crushed coal, and water!" The breeder where I got my Phoebe showed me what happens when you dissolve a bunch of typical dogfood in water and let sit until it settles. Floating on the surface there was a half-inch thick layer of finely ground hair. Human or animal, not quite sure which... still, legitimate protein source for your beloved pet according to a typical pet food label. This is why I will NEVER feed my dog any commercially available dog food product. Period. Last edited by vinylengraver; 04-05-2018 at 09:17 PM.. |

You guys are freaking me out. I've researched this in the past and concluded the internet is full of shit(no surprise). So many biased and contradictory reports, it's nearly impossible to come up with a clear and conclusive answer as to just what we should be feeding our beloved pets.
Often the results of a bad diet for a dog is clear as the changes in their behavior is evident quickly, but not always. So, we may think we're doing them good, but they can't exactly say "Hey, asshole, this stuff is killing me", especially when they're like mine and want to eat anything and everything in sight. Eventually wound up on DogFoodAdvisor.com and found what I think is a relatively good, dry food at a cost I can live with. NutriSource Supreme grain free, which I switch between chicken and lamb every 3 months or so. It's about $75/month for 2 Labs that average about 75lbs each. They're 12 years old and they've been on it for about 2 years now. Things seem ok, they're slowing down a bit, but I'm blaming that on age...but how does one really know? |

As for the contamination issues, there's not a lot you can do. It's a numbers game and you just cross your fingers and hope you don't get locked into a food that winds up being bad. Kinda like eating at the taco truck. It's so damn tasty, and a bit sketchy. You know the risk is there and once in a while you get bit. |

We feed our dogs Fromms dry food aimed at their sizes and ages with some yogurt and salmon oil. They are all very healthy and one of them even uses a laptop.

+1 for Fromms. My oldest Cavalier Kings Charles just turned 14 and the youngest is seven. There are quality, commercially produced dog foods out there and like most things in this world you're going pay up for that quality. As others noted, find what works for your pet...
And no, my dogs have not learned to use the laptop!!
