The dogs stuff is truly disgusting- it comes with a think layer of while stretchy stuff then the green stomache bits where obviously the grass in he diet has stained the inside - it looks a bit like octopus bumps, it is really gross when you have to touch it - it feels all rough and knobbly.

thats fine marcella, i agree that this discussion will never end.
by average joe i didnt mean you guys, i wanted to make the point that even although im not a vet, i still have studied nutrition, and work with it every day, working out feeding plans etc for different illnesses.
i never had a problem with anyone feeding RAW, i just wanted to let people know that there are side effects to this diet, more in my opinion than there is from feeding a complete feed but each to their own.
also i didnt ask sharon and emma to come on this site, they did so of their own choice, so i cannot speak for them. they were simply interested after i kept speaking about it in work, annoying everyone and asking what they fed their own pets.
and one last thing, fiona, im not a vet, but i do consider myself qualified. i spent many years working towards my qualification, which only has a 57% pass rate as it is a difficult course, and i am proud to say i am a qualified veterinary nurse.

[/quote]Now veterinary nurse or not you are simply NOT an canine nutritionist nor does it make you any more qualified to tell us how it makes us care less for our dogs. That is simply an ignorant and offensive statement.[/quote]

ok, that's right i studied veterinary nursing, including: pathology, nutrition, anatomy and much more in canines at university level, but i have no more knowledge than you. Do you have more knowledge than a mechanic by having a car? Or a Dr from being sick? I keep getting abuse for trying to home in on what is, in the long run the best ingredients for a healthy pet, if u want to feed raw then do it, I'm clearly not even making you consider anything else. I just hope your dog stays healthy and you prove me wrong in the years to come, because this site is, consider all about the dog, not us.

I really wanna ask again what qualifications do u and John have? I'm just curious as you are the people behind this forum and a healthy debate needs knowledge as well as passion.

Emma,

My vet has advised me to stick very strickly to a raw diet for one of my dogs to control his allergies. Please answer this point?

not once have i said that dry is the best option i have simply said that bones are no good, and that dogs need a complete diet wet or dry or both. I find myself repeating myself too. My guns were not blazing i find it hard, when ppl are clearly disregarding mine and other qualified opinions. I haven't contributed to all threads on here because there are loads and am working a 6day week so would rather not spend all my free time typing. You still haven't answered any of my questions, what qualifications do you have considering animal health and care, i have told you mine. there's no need to feel sorry for me i take pride in the fact that i get to work with animals everyday and have worked my ass off to do so. i feel sorry for you, and your need to insult my manners when clearly u know nothing about me.
