Occasionally I watch a show called 'Natural Companions' on Veria network. Most of the show is feel good fluff in my opinion, but now and then there is something in this fluff that gives a hint at the healthful trends that are happening in regards to how we care for our pets. I was flipping through the channels trying to find something worth watching for a few minutes (out of 250 channels) when this episode of 'Natural Companions' caught my interest. There was a story about a couple who was having health problems with thier Miniature Dachshund (was it punctured eardrums?) that had their veterinarians baffled. Long story short, they put the dog on a raw food diet. The health problems were resolved, ears were healed, when all else had failed, and now they have a healthy and happy pup!
It helps me to hear stories like these. When I do tell people what I am doing for our cats, most of the time they look at me like I am a little crazy. One 'cat lady' told me that I am the crazy cat lady! More so than she was! She feeds and cares for over twenty cats (verses my six to nine) but feeds hers low cost commercial cat food. I think that you are either going to pay the price one way or the other. Cheap commercial cat food will lead to expensive vet bills in the long haul. Our venison is free, but we pay for additional vitamins, probiotics, etc., but the hope is for far healthier animals for the duration of their lives.
