With the massive pet food recall in the spring of 2007, many of you have been shocked to learn that not only are there harmful substances in commercial dog food, apparently the manufacturers didn't realize it either.
Feeding a raw or homecooked diet to your dogs allows you near total control, not only of ingredients but also nutritional proportions more in line with what their digestive systems are designed for - food high in animal protein and fat and low in carbohydrates.
The results can be dramatic. While not a cure-all, nor changing genetics, controlling your dog's diet often results in cleaner teeth, less allergies, clean ears without cleaning, less arthritis, increased energy, and better appetites.
The Birchrun girls have been fed a raw diet since 1997.
