    Raw feeder here, I feed based on billinghurst BEFORE any of the grinding buisness came about, I have no idea where that came from, I have met billinghurst in person, I have only resently heard that he likes everything ground? veggies need to be pulped so the dogs can get the nutrients but thats all, everything else is whole. there diet is mostly meat, bones, and organ meats, we dont give them pulped veggies everyday anymore, mostly just because of lack of time lol I love it, I will never go back to kibble, the dogs are so much better off on Raw, the effects ware even long lasting, I mean Shadow was on kibble and threw up at least once a day(on purina one, it was the only thing she could eat without throwing up 5 times a day-litterally) she was so arthritic she could no longer stand up etc.. she was switched to raw and all of it cleared up, no more throwing up, and NO signs of arthritus, when she went to her new hom she went back on kibble..and to my shock it did NOT cause her to start throwing up again, she has been on kibble of 2 years now, and her arthritus has not come back, she will be 10 years old in june, and her coat is still pure black and she still has plenty of energy, her current brother however who has been on kibble his whole life is slowing down and going grey at 5 years.

    Wow Sarah, I'm impressed Very helpful info!!!

    I'm very interested in feeding raw, my parents aren't too keen on the idea...yet It took them long enough to allow me to switch the gang from Iams to Nutro, lol.
