Anyone else feed an all RAW diet?

When I get my dog I will feed raw. I joined the Livejournal Rawdogs group thanks to a post made on PT and I am hooked on the idea!

I'm a memeber of that community too, although since I stopped feeding raw (or cut down, they still get raw 1-2 times a week) a few weeks ago I haven't been on as much, that & I've been so busy lately. It's such a great group. I'm rauook on LJ.

(These are not my pictures, please do not use them!)
A 6-year-old-ish retired racing Greyhound on a kibble diet:

The same dog after one raw recreational bone:

Need I say more? This is after THREE hours. If a single rec bone can make so much difference in three hours, can you imagine the teeth of a dog fed raw its whole life? A picture is literally a thousand words.

OH MY GOD

That is an incredible difference

**Tollers-n-Dobes** · 04-01-2006, 01:44 AM

That's disgusting! I can't believe 3 hours made such a huge difference

Although, I must say that I personally have never seen a kibble fed dog's teeth ever look that bad.....

Wow! What a difference!!! That is amazing.

Yeah, same here, even my (almost) 10 year old Rottie has better teeth than that 6 year old had!!

really? I have seen a LOT of kibble fed dogs with teeth that bad.

I like this pic of Shadow, the pic was taken when shadow was just about 9 years old, 4 years on kibble and 4 years on raw

I was looking at this pic, and it struck me how white her teeth are for her age lol

and look at Happys teeth..she has the dirtiest teeth out of all my dogs because she wont do any recriational chewing whatsoever, she wont even eat her dinner if she cant break the bone with one bite.

it was funny, we are so used to how much the rest of the dogs teeth sparkle, that we look at happys and go.."I wonder if something is wrong with her teeth?" so we take her to the vet and the vet goes "WOW these are some of the best teeth I have seen" lol
