1. I feed raw. It works for the hardest working dogs on the planet, sled dogs.
2. Most kibble looks like crap to me. Almost all have grains as fillers. Dogs aren't omnivores, they're carnivores.
3. Grains create yeast, yeast feeds cancer cells. I supplement less than 5% of their diet with a grain free kibble.
1. The first thing that wild canids eat are the guts. The guts contain all kinds of vegetable matter. Uncooked grains carry lots of yeasts.
The huge majority of sled dogs are fed kibble (usually Eagle Pack) supplemented with raw (high fat) meats. They are fed more high fat meat when competing.
2. Do you really consider grains as being fillers?....... When properly prepared, grains provide a great source of carbohydrates.
3. Show me a peer reviewed published research article that says so. Grains do not create yeast. Yeasts are constantly in our environment.
As long as pathogenic yeasts and pathogenic bacteria are kept under control with beneficial bacteria, they are not a bad thing.
