Where do you think all those nutrients in meat to come from? They ALL
come from vegetables. The meat you are feeding those dogs is made from
vegetarians animals, who have synthesized all of it from the vegetable
foods they eat. ALL nutrition comes from the vegetable kingdom
ultimately.
It is too bad that you both have decided to attack me personally for my
decisions which are well thought out, because I have come to a
different conclusion than you. This only reinforces my belief that the
raw meat feeding community is intolerant and dogmatic.
Since this is a free country, we are all free to feed ourselves, our
children and our animals in the way we think is best.

I take issue with this, as my dog and many I know are vegan, and do
very well on the diet, which includes some raw veges.
Dogs seem to be like people in that they can adapt to a their
environment to a great degree.

Hi Brooks,
I agree with what you said but also want to point out that there is
nothing in the plant matter that the dogs can not get in meat, bones
and organs. Meat, bones and organ meats are the complete nutrition
that dogs need to thrive.

Hello Barbara,
Your observations about carbohydrate requirements are quite well
taken. However, without being confrontational, one point might be of
value to list members......while canines are carnivores, unlike
felines they are not obligate carnivores. That is, many do exhibit
the ability to partially digest various forms of
carbohydrates....including forms of unprocessed vegetative matter. I
state this not to be argumentive, but to NOT encourage persons
feeding their dogs certain vegetable forms......to cease just
because dogs can do well without them. The reason being that this
ability to extract useful portions of beneficial juice-borne
compounds from certain classes of vegetative matter-----has
demonstrated to be vital in some health cases. This condition stands
as useful quite beyond nutritional considerations.....especially
considering possible pathogenic, parasitic and toxic insults.
Lacking this ability, it would be fruitless to give them substances
similar! to kelp meal.
Thank you for your commentary. Brooks.
