[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 313867, member: 1963"] I fed my previous dog an entirely raw diet as I did with my cats. We lived right near a slaughterhouse in Germany that also had a retail butcher shop. You could go in and get a mixture of meat and offal that was sold for pennies a pound as 'dog meat'. When I came back to the states with that dog I switched her onto a food called Carnique. It's the raw food fed to zoo canines. All you need to add are some raw bones for the calcium and to help keep tartar down. My current dog ate raw meat until various crises forced me out of my home and into a cross state move. With his illness he eats RX food, but he still gets raw meat, offal when I can find it, and raw bones to keep his teeth and gums healthy. The previous dog lived to be fourteen and never required a "dental". My current big guy is seven and even though he doesn't eat a completely raw diet, his teeth are in great shape beyond a bit of wear and some staining. People are always surprised to find out how old he is (Shepherds usually don't live past 10-12 years or so). Absent the arthritis, the only noticeable sign of aging is that he's just starting to silver on his chin and he's got a couple of white whiskers coming in. [/QUOTE]
