Personally, I find this thread kind of oppressive. Especially when the OP comes on and "reprimands" raw-feeders for not giving an Anti-raw annecdote. Seriously, you can't start a thread and say "No, you can't reply like that, I don't like your response. Tsk Tsk."

Happy cats, I am beyond touchy right now, and have been for the last few days. One major downfall to the internet, cant read tone.
Sorry to over react as well as blunty type "who judged" I should have elaborated more I know. However, ON TOPIC and them Im gone. There are downfalls to BOTH diets. Kibble- trusting complete strangers to feed your dogs or cats. No control of what is going in each meal, imported ingredients that could poision your pet, fillers! And from a "pro raw" standpoint: the downfalls of raw. Raw- Except for certain circumstances, there is no way to know the source of your meat, Lots of work, hazards )ie choking, perforations, intestinal blockages ect.), bacteria ( although not a big concern of mine) and for some, not researching thourougly ( again, not for all "raw gone bad " situations)

I'm interested in the BARF diet but not convinced YET this is what's best for my pooch. Right now, she's healthy & doing great with kibble.

The question was ; for those who don't feed raw,what are the reasons.

and those of us who do aren't allowed to say anything? People who don't feed raw still pipe up in raw-positive threads, but you don't see any of the raw feeders saying "No! You're off topic! Stop it! I want to only know about why raw is good!"?

Crappy food sucks. Good food rocks. That's the jist of it. Form is secondary.
I think where this thread went off the tracks was when the OP asked why people don't feed raw, and the raw feeders basically said "They don't feed raw because..." My turn to get preachy. It's one thing to plug raw. It's a whole other thing pushing kibble down while you do it, and vice versa. That's just unnecessary. If everybody kept their comments personal, we probably wouldn't clash as much. By personal, I mean, "I feed kibble because I know my dogs and I've researched everything and I feel this is the best choice for my dogs." Not personal is "People don't feed kibble because they're too lazy to scoop it out of the bag." You know what I mean? Say what you do and what you've decided on without implying things of others.

Please don't be offended, like I said, I started this post to see the other side of things, which isn't always discussed or obvious, NOT as a pot-stirring excercise... There have been some great posts in here, it's always good to see the other side of the coin, don't you think?

I have replied to a thread about this but here goes again. I had a Bullmastiff who died as a result of a chicken bone lodged in his intestine and his intestines ruptured. I did NOT give him the chicken bone, I did however cook food for him. Such as scrambled eggs,boiled or grilled boneless chicken, rice, beef roast, beef steak.He also got the quality dry dog food. I NEVER gave him meat with a bone in it, it is too dangerous. Blockage of the intestine, splintering and lacerating the insides. Sounds painfull doesn't it. I don't have a problem with feeding your dog meats as long as there is NO bone in it,and it is cooked. I don't have a problem with feeding dogs dry dog food as long as it is a quality, healthy food.

Very sorry about your Bullie amsmom2njkz. Can you tell me, was it a raw or cooked chicken bone?

Thank You Scott. I would have to assume it was cooked and have to assume he got it out of the trash or outside somewhere.

Diversity of opinion is fine - but let's keep things civil.
Some members are passionate about raw. Some members are passionate about not feeding raw. Like everything on this planet there are multiple points of view. There comes a point in time where we need to pull back after we have stated our opinions many times in a particular thread. Failure to do so usually results in passionate threads becoming overheated and often rudeness, slander and other rule breakers are quick to surface. This thread will now be closed. thx marko
