Hi everyone I will jump in here about RAW... I understand both sides of raw feeding (feed or not feed). as I said in one of my posts, I know that in the wild, dogs, and big cats eat raw. I have not educated myself on raw feeding, so I can not give my opinion on pro's or con's. The ones who feed raw I am sure know exactly what they are doing. I believe that what ever someone wants to feed there pets is up to them as long as they feed good quality foods, and what works. I may find down the road that raw may be the way to go with Ricky. But for now, he seems not to like raw...at least not the way I did it. lol. but right now he seems not to like anything! I think he is holding out.. for human foods! I do not know what he was eating before he came to me. The SPCA will not contact the previous owner for me to ask some questions about food or health.
for now I am going to buy the Solid Gold Hundchen flocken sm breed puppy food. I will stick to it, without any changes. I am confusing Ricky to much with changing food every other day. (I am just a worry wort). anyway... this group is such a help, and very knowledgeable, and I am happy I found you all. To the person who put down RAW FEEDING. Remember, everyone has a right to feed as they want. you can disagree with it, but do it with respect. I do not enjoy a group that always fights loudly and with disrespect over and over. I will continue to give updates, and I still want to read some CUTE DOG STORIES!!

UPDATE ON RICKY THE THIN CHI To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, September 25, 2010, 3:42 AM It was charliemom and she is not interested in anything except being rude and ignorant. She has no desire to educate herself because the pleasure comes from putting others down because when she started slamming raw feeders a few months back the very educated set her straight. She knows she can't win a debate or discussion on this list by using facts or logic so she decides to resort to name calling. It is sad for sure. Because those of us who feed raw don't agree with her we are faddist or cultist which seriously makes me laugh because she apparently failed to even look up the definition of those words.

What is that? And why can't you ever just post w/o slamming other folks and being rude?

Please stick to what your vet told you and don't be swayed to give him raw food by some dedicated cultists you may run across! Good luck
