The target audience is those new to the concept of a raw diet, that's why.Originally Posted by crow_noir
I've never, ever heard this. Whenever Buck was eating ground food for 3 weeks after his surgery, his teeth got NASTY and now they are stained. Once he started eating bones again, it scraped all of the plaque and tarter off. My dogs very rarely get fur, they got it more often last year, and their teeth are very clean.One thing that stuck out in my mind though is that no one ever mentions fur in these reports. If you can get a fresh kill (such as a rabbit) that it the best for cleaning the teeth (physically.) pH is the major cleaner for mouth health, not the bones (very misleading info/myth that is out there online. The bones do play a minor roll in cleaning the teeth, but the internal pH is the thing the majority of the credit should be going to.) (Then again... this is another thing that is debated amongst the raw community. ...I'm sticking with the P.H.D. in nutrition on this one.*)
If I'm being completely honest, and I know this is bad, I was so crammed with homework that I didn't have any resources. Everything in that paper came from my head, it's all stuff that I have memorized. I know my teacher probably doesn't believe that and will probably mark me down for it, but I honestly didn't have any resources.Oh, maybe it wasn't listed since i didn't pull up the file (I just did preview) but when writing a paper one should ALWAYS have another page listing the sources. (I forget the name for the credits.)
Thanks, I really do appreciate the feedback.![]()
