Hi Berta, I have been feeding what I call a "modified raw diet" for about four years now and have noticed a significant improvement in the overall health of my dogs.I originally embarked on a natural and raw foods diet due to the severe allergies that one of my girls, Brittany, was suffering from and wanted to avoid the use of prednisone which was being advised by my vet.
Brittany ,in particular, has benefited the most from changing to a diet of mostly raw chicken and veggies. Prior my changing the way I feed, Brittany suffered from a multitude of problems, all of which must have been at least partly diet related. She suffered something fierce from allergies. She had itchy skin and feet and often chewed herself to the point where she was left with horrible skin lesions. My vet was thinking we should try steroids, which is actually what prompted me to try a raw diet in a last ditch effort to avoid the use of cortisone. Within two months time I saw a remarkable improvement in Brittany's skin. Her itching had lessoned to a significant degree, her skin was free of redness and sores and she had all but stopped chewing her feet. In Brittany's case changing her to a natural and raw foods diet seems to have done the trick relieving her symptoms. I feed a combination of raw meats, pureed vegetables (including garlic)and Canidae holistic kibble (http://www.canidae.com). All the best, Susan V.
