It's also important for pet owners to realize that the dry kibbles are part of the cause of obesity as well. Adding real food that dogs are intended to eat will help reduce the high starch of the bagged foods.

If anyone would like to contact me, I'd be pleased to supply veterinary written documentation regarding this information. I hope this is helpful.

In response to obesity posted by Diane_Schuller:

Pets can eat a lot of "real" food but you must be careful with what food you give your pet. For example dogs should not have grapes, onion, and chocolate. And if your dog is getting extra's cut back on the amount of kibble you give. Also, if you want to feed an all raw diet then definately do research to be positive your dog is getting the right nutrients. I've seen a few dogs in practice on a raw meat diet who were malnurished.

Diane - I would like to see your documentation. I am interested in homeopathic medicine. I've just started myself on an all organic diet.

Charla,

Yes, excellent points you bring up and we must be aware of those things. I will be pleased to forward some of that documentation and will send it directly to your personal email.

Warm regards,

Diane
