As long as you practice good hygene, raw feeding is perfectly safe. I wouldn't want my dog treading shite through the house, raw fed or not though, to be honest, that is just rank.
As for a vet preferring any other method of feeding than raw. That suprises me not. Sadly, vet's do not know everything, as I increasingly find out.  |
No one want there dog walking shat in the house but im afraid its something you dont have control of, when they have been playin in the yard you dont know where they step!

He also thinks small dogs are further removed from wolves than larger dogs which is completely untrue. Some small breeds have actually been found to have more genetic simularities to wolves than more reminescent (sp?) breeds. 
He's leading you up the garden path I'm afraid. URL]

Im not being rude alan but i will stick with the vets advice thanks, they dont train all them years to know nothing about nutrition, tinned meat is suiting cassie she has had a good health check and the vet said she is perfect, i did explain a little to him what i had read on the internet and he said the problem is ya can read anything on the internet doesnt mean its correct
