Raw goat and veggies: Kibble's off the menu for these dogs

Raw goat and veggies: Kibble's off the menu for these dogs

My main problem with this article is the feeding of raw goat; it's just too risky. There is a reason why we cook our meat, to destroy parasites and bacteria. Feeding your pet raw food puts not only your pet at risk but it also puts you at risk.

I don't however, have a problem with feeding home made diets to your pets and I've seen these diets work wonders for pets with certain health problems.  BUT if you're going to you must consult with a veterinary nutritionist in order to develop a nutritionally balanced meal. If you don't you're putting your pet at great risk.  Also remember there are certain human foods that are toxic to pets such as grapes and raisins, bread dough, macadamia nuts, chocolate, garlic, onions, and foods artificially sweetened with xylitol. 

One last thing, in defense of commercial pet food companies please remember companies like Hill's, Purina and Royal Canin have contributed a lot to the advancement of veterinary medicine through their constant research and have worked hard to make their diets the best that they can be.

Remember the Internet is a great source of information; it is also a great source of misinformation.
