Feeding an optimal raw diet takes planning and being given a combination of well-chosen ingredients, not just "some hamburger."

And the benefits of feeding an optimal raw do NOT happen from part-time efforts, but only from repeated, consistent, and continual efforts

Truly feeding an optimal raw diet is a lifetime commitment to your animals' welfare; it is not a "fad" or something to "brag about" online, but lie about at home.

It is a repeated, and consistent effort that is only possible by intelligent NON-lazy dogmen.

It will ALWAYS be easier to walk through the yard slinging kibble back-and-forth with a measuring cup ... but it will NEVER produce as good longterm-health results as making a true commitment to taking the time every day of the year, year-after-year, to provide an optimal raw diet.

I agree with you 100% on this point Jack. I bought 300lbs of chicken quarters just yesterday. I put 150lbs in the freezer when I got home and since they are already frozen, I let the other 150lbs thaw overnight. Then I have to get up about 45 minutes earlier than normal, put that 150 in the fridge and tend to some typical start the day dog biz. Of course, these quarters will only last 2 weeks, so to add to your above post, it takes a freakin financial commitment as well. I know there are plenty feeding more than me and spending more than me, but I feed 15 dogs for $400 a month. So yeah....it is no doubt a commitment.


How about the guys calling to do YOU the favor of taking your dog and "making him famous". "Say dawg, I goin send this fool to circuit in South America wit my connections. Once he champion out, I send him back to you as a stud dog"
