Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Thanks everyone! I believe the salmon is from British Columbia, and i believe it is farmed salmon. Not sure if that makes it better or worse, but I'm going to see what i can google.
For peace of mind though, I think I'll take him off the salmon. He does seem less red these days, but still pretty itchy! |

| Hi everyone, Despite feeling like I've read a bazillion pages I still have what is probably the stupidest question. Are the meats in the raw diet literally raw, as in uncooked? If so, how do you avoid issues with things like raw chicken and the bacteria (or whatever bug it carries) that makes humans sick? Is this really not a concern for dogs?
Or is the meat really cooked and just referred to as raw because it's meat and not kibble? |

| Welcome to the forum! It is really raw meat. Dogs digestive tracts are much shorter than ours, so a healthy dog with a good immune system should never have issues like we do with salmonella and other bugs like that. Any other questions you may have, ask away. |

| Wow thanks for the quick reply!
I feel like I walked into Target for a $3 gallon of milk and came out with $200 worth of stuff. I came in looking into reasons why Mia won't eat her food and end up researching crazy amounts of info on a raw diet.
She is very finicky and I think she was also spoiled by her previous owner (we rescued her last June) who gave her lots of human food. She turns her nose up at the kibble but can hear a cheese wrapper from three rooms away.
She also has epilepsy so I'm always trying to be aware of what goes into her body to either not exacerbate her condition or to help it. |
