Raw Food Diet For Dogs
My dog was sick. She had bad skin and crusty sores all over. One eye was completely swollen from a sore on her eyelid. She scratched continually.
After visiting several local vets and spending $1500 on medicine, tests, experimental food and vet bills, they said she had an allergy. This seemed like a basic dog skin problem yet the vets were willing to give her steroids, take biopsies and incur huge bills without ever solving the problem. I finally decided I knew more about my dog than they did.
I spent some time researching dog health and dog allergies. I learned that dogs could get food allergies – especially allergies to grains. That made perfect sense since wild dogs aren't able to cook wheat or rice. I also found out that dogs can become suddenly allergic to food that they've been eating for years. Then, I discovered the BARF diet (Biologically Appropriate Raw Foods or Bones).
