Kerny92 1,246 Posted July 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 I know everyone recommends a raw diet but has anyone actually seen the results on a dog that has gone from biscuits to raw? Quote Link to post

I always rear mine on raw from day 1 so never had chance to notice a difference.But i have seen lads rear littermates of dogs ive owned on complete kibbles and they havnt physically made the same animals and its happened too many times to be a coincidence. 6 1 Quote Link to post

I wonder though if introduced at a later date it's a case of too little too late? Once it's growth has been stunted maybe they will never develop like a dog started on raw? Quote Link to post

Deffinately.Ive took on older dogs reared by other people and no matter how much ive put into them ive never been able to get them quite like dogs ive reared myself.Im not saying its been down to the food exclusively.Plenty of exercise,regular worming etc all played a part but i think a good quality varied flesh diet played a major part. 2 Quote Link to post
socks 32,253 Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 If you change a pup over to raw before it's around 6 months of age you can see the difference and they do catch up .... I've never seen it over that age so can't comment ...... Quote Link to post

The meat I get sometimes has pork in it and I was feeding it (with no problems) but I recently heard of a parasite or similar that raw pork contains and it killed hounds in kennel so I stopped feeding the pork. Has anyone else heard of this ? Quote Link to post

My stupidity there, I'd imagine uncured pork would do kill em, on that note can't say I've ever heard anyone feeding pork maybe someone can answer your question tho. 1 Quote Link to post

Kerny92 1,246 Posted July 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) That's the thing with raw, from what I've read it's fine and healthy and almost certainly beneficial for the most part but if your dog eats something off it can be very bad for them and even your own health.
