    Default Who feeds his dog raw vegetarian/vegan?

    and for how long? Is the dog healthy?

    I don't have a dog but plan to get one. I already read all the posts here about raw & dogs. It's hard for me to imagine having raw meat around the house, so I'm wondering if it's possible to feed your dog raw vegetarian/vegan before I get one.

    Thanks in advance.

    My best friend has 7 and does. They detoxed and are in stunning condition. They eat a lot of raw, too.

    David Wolfe says it best. He feeds them raw vegan. If they want anything else, they go out and get it.

    That's my philosophy, although I have no dog yet.

    Thank you! I'm so happy to hear this because this will determine whether or not I may have a dog since I really don't want to handle raw meat.

    He said he feeds his dog up to 4 avocado's a day. Big dogs can be expensive to feed WELL. I have a little dog now and am at least cooking brown rice-veggies and a little lamb, I add the olive oil at the end so its not cooked oil. I will try to start avocado soon.

    HILARIOUS. So true. And I want a ton. So, it'll be awhile.

    I have two doberman's (usually considered big dogs) and although we were feeding them the best dry food $ could buy, we recently switched them to a primarily raw food diet. They are just loving it. They were healthy and active before and their energy seems to be skyrocketing.

    In all honesty, it isn't costing us that much more than their premium dry food.

    They get meat 2x/day - about 12 ozs/serving. We order it from a local meat supply company and it is additive free (no hormones, etc.) To round out their diet, they get fresh or frozen fruit in the a.m., today it was blueberries. This morning they also got a bonus of 2 oz plain organic yogurt. Tonight they will be getting veggies along with their meat. So far we have discovered they like carrots, bok choy, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage. They also get yummy home made doggie treats thanks to a good friend.

    I did for awhile and then my dog started losing weight and he is already super skinny so my hubby started feeding him dog food again. Not my choice, but its his dog too!
