The Great Pet Food Debate: Raw versus Cooked versus Commercial Pet Food

Who's right? Who's wrong? Which one is better? This is the great pet food debate for many but not for me.

While others waste their time arguing and debating what's right, what's wrong, which is better, which is worse, who's right, who's wrong and so on, I would prefer to spend my time loving my pets. What a waste of time it is to debate such a silly issue.

By debating this topic, we fail to remember the whole point we have pets in our life — love.

Instead of spending our time loving our pets, this whole debate creates tension — the opposite of which of our pets are meant to bring to our life — peace.

Ultimately, when it comes to feeding our pets, we must all do what makes sense to us. For me, I am comfortable feeding a raw meat diet. Therefore, I do not need to debate, nor try to convince anyone, that I am right or that you are wrong. Interestingly enough, when we debate others, all we are really trying to do is convince ourselves that what we are doing is correct. Since I already know that what I am doing is the right diet for me, I don't need to convince anyone else, let alone myself.

When I first began feeding a wholesome raw meat diet in 1993, I definitely tried to convince anyone about the benefits and I was ready for a debate. But later, I realized I was doing just what I said above — missing the whole point of having a pet along with ultimately trying to convince myself that what I was doing was correct.

Now, I spend more time hugging and playing with my pets — what a life I have.

Arguing and debating is such a waste of energy.

Shining Bright

2005-03-10

Wynnie's coat shines like I have never seen it shine before. She also had a bowel condition that flared up every 1 to 2 weeks. Now these flare ups are 2 months apart. Her water consumption has been cut by more than two thirds. In closing, there are no words of appreciation that can express how thankful I am for your dedicated interest in the nutrition of dogs and cats.

Rocky's Comeback

2008-09-14

I took on a dog that was very, very skinny, extremely stressed, and sick with a major cold and diarrhea caused by an intestinal parasite that he picked up at an overcrowded animal shelter. That was August 22, 2008. He was only the second dog I've had, and I didn't feel all that equipped to handle him (I'm still learning!).

I was scared to death he was going to die on my watch. But I immediately ditched all commercially prepared food and started feeding him by hand, scrambled eggs, rice, and cheese. I started doing research and found your book, which I enjoyed and printed. I've employed its recipes (for the most part — I still have a cultural need to just sear the meat before serving, still mostly raw, and I still include rice), but the results have been phenomenal. I bought a $20 food chopper at Wal–Mart to chop the vegetables and the organ meats, and for most things it works just fine. I use cheese as training treats. And this was while he was on medication, which as we all know can hinder weight gain.

Now he's a happy bundle of energy, more than I can handle, actually. We go out for long, energetic walks and today I bought my first set of running shoes in over 15 years. We may wind up saving each other here!

Because of his poor health, I took pictures of him every day to examine his progress in detail to make sure I could tell for sure whether he was improving or getting worse. They wound up being great before and after testimonials for the power of healthy food for your dog. These pictures are only 10 days apart! Except for the last, which is 3 weeks from the first, I think. I'm allowing him to stay lean and energetic, and we're working on building up muscle.

Thank you for your very helpful website – Nancy

I'm Totally Sold On The Raw Meat Diet

2010-01-27

I'm totally sold on the raw diet in every way — health wise, time wise, even money wise — it is less than I was spending on wellness canned food.

And if it wasn't for all your information — your book — your website — your informative emails I would feel a bit more lost, but I don't because of everything you have provided. You have made me feel more confident about everything.

Thanks again for everything and I'll keep you posted! :)
