There's a pet peeve of mine that irritates me even more than the umbilical hernia issue. Have any of you ever educated your puppy buyer about the raw diet and then had them take the puppy to the vet who then absolutely has to run several expensive tests because, according to most vets, the raw diet creates worms, salmonella, and chemistry panels that are out of whack. Of course, one negative word from the vet and that puppy is on kibble for the rest of it's life. We board our puppies for free for the length of their life, so we get them back quite often and can compare them against pups from the same litter that we kept. The difference is pretty marked. The pups fed kibble are always larger, have teeth that are getting plague and staining, and are usually on Program, Advantage and sometimes a flea shampoo to boot. This last time, I noticed as well, a change in pigment. This was a puppy who had lovely auburn and white coloring, who is now twice as large as her litter mates with very faded pigment. I'm not sure what they are feeding her, but clearly not something that is working. Myra
