Penny & Greenies

[My Peanuts]

I suppose you eat the same our ancestors did?


FYI, the longest living dogs I've ever met were fed Kibbles & Bits and scraps their whole lives. Not saying that's right, but your statement isn't necessarily true.


And geez, I really wish someone would tell Kiara that, being a kibble fed dog, she is NOT supposed to be so energetic.

So true. My childhood dog, Barney, was fed not great food until he was older. I believe he was raised on Top Choice. He was born in 1976 when neutering wasn't really big so he wasn't neutered. Both are things I am an advocate for now. Spay/neuter and nutrition. Well Mr. Barney lived to be 18 years old and other than being diabetic (which we controlled with insulin), he was in pretty good shape considering his age.

I don't mean to start a war but I thought I'd throw this in..

Dogs are carnivores. Not obligate carnivores, but carnivores none-the-less. There's no denying that their teeth were made for tearing through flesh and eating bones.

But with that said, I can see where you (Kay and Diana) are coming from. The raw diet isn't the end all, be all for health problems. Some dogs do well on raw, some don't. Oh well. Just gotta find what's best for your dog.

Greenies are just as dangerous as any other dog chew... so why point out just Greenies? Your dog can choke on anything whether it's a toy or chew or even food. And you have to get the right size for your dog... it says right on the back!

Exactly!

It doesn't mean CCL's or any other person's dog who's going to be fed raw (partially or what have you) is any healthy or better looking than those fed on kibble.
