I have had and continue to have support from individuals who breed and own pugs and who also feed their pugs raw and have done so for years with no problems. Of course, any dietary change would cause concern for nutritional composition but I have more concern for the unnecessary additives in commercial dog foods than I ever would in feeding raw/grain free/high quality/etc.. There are a lot of myths associated with raw diets for dogs and this website may help improve understanding of this approach. |
Great! This is why I asked. I don't want to make assumptions. Thanks for the response.
ETA: ButchEire, Do you think that there are a number of raw food diet makers who do not do this well? That are missing things?
