Can't someone post a simple non biased article without the immature kiddies getting crazy? Seriously. Why was it so bad? Because moi posted it? That article was written by a vet on a vet site. A very very good article. Look at what you are all doing. Posting pictures of cats eating raw,anti commercial, etc... It is sooo obvious. Grow up. Omg!

And Dave this is the honest truth. Look at this! All for me posting a non biased article that gave some good advice to raw feeders. It is not the raw vs commercial that is a problem at this site.

BTW, I found this great article while browsing through a vet site that I found while looking for new food for Teddy. If you look under my evil pet food video thread you will see the link. The article was on the front page sticking out like a sore thumb. No mean intentions anywhere. But look what happens...

Plus I would hate to see anyone have to go through what I did with Sasha. I still have to support her neck at times. Although I don't agree with raw, i want others to do it as safely as posible. Sometimes concern over others needs to come before egos.

AS I am one of the posters of Raw food photos, as my cats are fed a raw diet, I can only presume for some reason that this is a dig at me though I have no clue why?

You have posted one negative article about the dangers of feeding raw food, there are many article out there that also100 percent agree with feeding raw? Just because a VET wrote it does not make it right its his opinion that’s all. Some vets are owned body and soul by dried food manufacturers… When Mathyuis lost all his coat, I was offered every single EXPENSIVE prescription diet there was, none of them made him better, the only made him more sick because he would not eat it..


We all have our ways of doing things, and bad experience can cloud our judgment, but I did my research… and YOU can clearly read from past posts NO one was a more supporter of RC that I.. I spent over 700 euros a month with them…


My cats diets have been especially thought out, I have got to a lot of trouble to ensure that my cats get everything they require for their daily need and then some.

I understand you being anti-RAW given the circumstances, but one posting that says RAW food is dangerous! does not outweigh the many that say that RAW food is good.


It’s all about preparation, hygiene and buying the best quality food you can

I read on another post I think written by Antonia, that most cats unless totally starving will not eat bad meat and she is right, I took out a batch of chicken once and unknown to me the fridge which I store my meat in when I take it out of the freezer had been accidentally turned down when I out the meat in it… I out it all out for the cats and they walked away.

YOU had a bad experience with RAW , I had a bad experience with Dried, that does not mean I say all dried is bad? You can have a perfectly good dried food and store it in the wrong conditions and this also can make you animal sick.

I have been feeding the RAW diet for the past 7 months now.. and to be honest with you nothing will make me go back, I have healthy cats, with shiny coats, who have lots of energy and muscle and much less fat.
They have strong clean teeth, and they have a new lease of life but its my choice, they are my cats, my kittens are reared BARF, but if a new owner who has paid a deposit wishes me to feed them half and half for their own convenience I will and they will get Orijen Cat food as well as raw.. But fed again in the correct way as feeding both raw and buiscuits at the same time is not good unless there is a long time in between meals.



To turn it on it butt... I have also read on here many posting about Dried food with different companies being called back, withdrawn... etc etc...


You postings are personal and not very nice, and maybe its the way they are written which is taken badly not what you write.

I will not get in to a slanging match with you Candes.. Every one is entitled to their own opinion, I have mine you have yours and many others have theirs.. on a forum like this, with in reason we are allowed to share our experiences etc etc...

But I and the other raw feeders, did not make negative comments about you, so please keep them to your self!
