I want to thank everyone who has participated in this RawFoodTalk.com forum. There have been some amazing exchanges here and so many words of wisdom spoken. But its time for me to close this board. I am moving on to new ventures and feel that its time for me to let this go. A forum of this size takes loads of money, time and energy. I have not been keeping up with the forum upgrades, the spam problems, etc…. which is resulting in many disgruntled emails and people calling the office daily. I’m sorry to disappoint the many of you who have spent your time and wonderful words of help and inspiration here. I hope that you have all benefited from this board and that it has helped you on your path to optimal health. I know many of you have made lasting friendships here as well. I will leave this board up for a month of so, so that you may copy what you need and any information you would like to save.
Thank you for being part of the RawFoodTalk.com community! It’s been a wonderful ride! I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for all of you and of course, you can keep up with my adventures through my blog, Facebook and twitter. I am continuing my certification trainings and there will be some exciting new classes, events and projects coming into fruition in the near future!
My dogs love apples, carrotts, bell peppers,nut butters, flax crackers,bananas, berries. Their favorite thing is kale stems which I think is ok and cleans their teeth. Are these safe dog foods?
Unless your pets are sensitive to them, just do it.
I've fed my dog, Spicey, many different kinds of raw foods and she is doing well. I'd say go for it. i don't see HOW raw foods could hurt anything at all.
Hi,
Onion can cause anemia in dogs! most dogs dont like it, but you get the odd one that does.
Walnuts and Macadamia Nuts, saying that most nuts are apparently not good for dogs.
Potato
Grapes
Chocolate- the Theobromine inside of it can be fatal, saying that, im not sure if it is in raw chocolate or not.
Im sure there is lots more!
I found a site saying that Garlic is poisionous to dogs, iv read other things that say it is good for them, so i would read up on it. a couple others unknown whether they are harmful or not are-
Avocados,Broccoli,Apple Seeds,mushroom,varies other seeds.
Please read my post Good for you NOT for Dogs. There are some raw veggies fruits and nuts that will cause a lot of harm and possible death to your dogs.
Advacados were not mention as hamful to dogs but i don't know for sure and don't feed them to my dogs. What my dogs get each day:
Costo brand dog food for older dogs
1 banana
2 to 4 large carrotts
1 lg apple
1 lg handful of almonds
2 capsules of black currant oil
romaine leaves at least 2 lg each
My vet who sees my dogs 1 time a year for a check up is always amazed at them. They act and seem much younger than they are, there coats are full, shiny and soft as a cats, they are playful, full of energy, and their eyes sparkle. My 2 big guys run out in the yard and play hard till they drop then rest and get up to play more. No one limps, no sore muscles, lots of energy. If I forget the black currant oil or run out for a while my oldest will start favoring one of his legs but as soon as I get him back on the oil it goes away, so I try t o be faithful in giving it to them.
Seeing as there is a brand of dog & cat food based on avocados called Avoderm, I would quite imagine them to be a safe food for furry friends. I know you aren't supposed to feed them to birds, though. My pets have always eaten and enjoyed avocados - they love to clean out the shells!
