<<I'm sure your right, Suze. I'm not a dog owner (yet) but when the time

comes

I do hope to raise a pup on all raw meat, bones, and lacto-fermented bits if

I can afford it. Is trich only a problem in pork?>>

I've been feeding raw for about 5 years and all are first gen raw fed.

Research shows that it takes several generations (about 4) to return to

optimal health. This of course has a lot of wiggle room in it and needs to

be taken to a pet health group for discussion. Mine are also minimally

vaccinated.

Where would my pet get lacto fermented bits?? Interesting idea. I do give

yogurt but it is not something any pet would ever come across.

<,In the gut of their kill. Mimics partially digested food.>>

Umm- I always wonder when " gut " is mentioned. Its really a moot point since

my pets all like yogurt but to be clear wolves, do not eat the stomach and

apparently only eat the intestines when pressed for food and they take these

and shake the " food " out and eat what is leftover.

" What can one say of a soul, of a heart, filled with compassion? It is a

heart which burns with love for every creature: for human beings, birds, and

animals, for serpents and for demons. The thought of them and the sight of

them make the tears of the saint flow. And this immense and intense

compassion, which flows from the heart of the saints, makes them unable to

bear the sight of the smallest, most insignificant wound in any creature.

Thus they pray ceaselessly, with tears, even for animals, for enemies of the

truth, and for those who do them wrong. "

--Saint Isaac the Syrian
