Mommy found this info in her searchins,Feel free to add coments. Mommy is here to learn to.

Here is a tid bit of info. If you still want to feed processed foods.
If there are any not on the new revised recall list. But also for home cookers and raw feeders to. That are new to it!!


Cats & dogs are carnivorous so they need mainly meat and protein, along with carbohydrates, vitamins, fat, minerals, and water. The manufacturers choice as to the types and amounts of proteins, minerals, and vitamins that they put into their products is not always adequate. Higher levels of animal protein like chicken, lamb, and beef are needed by active dogs,while proteins found in plants or grains such as corn, soy, wheat, and rice are less needed for cats & dogs.

NOT ALL vitamins and minerals are contained in MEAT so VeGGys and FRUITs are needed,to an extent,but less than meat.

I HAVE ALWAYS AVOID SOY In the last few years IT SAYs WHY BELOW ~~THE HUMAN ANEL LEACKAGE THING,MADE ME LOOK HARD AT THE CONTENT OF MY DOG FOOD THAT HAD CAUSED DIAREA IN MY DOGS YEARS AGO.LOTS OF SOY.

Puppy & kitten foods generally contain more protein then dog or cat foods. What you are looking for is a food that has two animal proteins in the first three ingredients listing. This is a good rule of thumb that applies to all dogs & cats and breeds, not just puppies & kittens. You also want the largest moisture content,more moisture means more real meat not filler was used.

Carbohydrates are important but in lesser amounts. You should avoid foods that contain soy, altogether soy is high in protein,but it is also a carbohydrate that slows down digestion and prevents absorbtion of vitamins and minerals.

TRUTH IS SOY DOES NOT DIGEST IT just GOES THREW one end out the other!!

YOU CAN SEARCH VITIMIN WEBSITES TO FIND WHAT FRUIT AND VEGGY GOT WHAT vitiomins and minerals!IF I FIND ANY ILL POST THEM.I got books but not websites at the moment.

Vitamins come in two types, fat soluble, and water soluble. Vitamins B and C are water soluble, while vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat soluble. The B and C vitamins are lost through urination and need to be included in every meal,to replenish, while vitamins A, D, E and K are stored up in the fatty tissues of the body and liver.

SOME VITIMINS AND MINERALS ARE NOT ABSORBED BECAUSE OF THE CONTENT SUROUNDING THEM also-THIS IS WHY IVE ALWAYS FED TABLESCRAPS WITH DOG FOOD EVEN IF MOST FRIENDS AN VETS SAY NO! THERE ARE SEVERAL B vitimins. B12 is one of the main vitimins it help all the vitimins WORK together.

The type of food or foods you feed is important, because of digestion time. Raw foods, such as meat, vegetables, and even fruit are the easiest foods to digest, usually in about 4 hours. Semi moist processed dog foods take longer, usually around 9 hours to pass through the stomach, and dry dog foods up to 16 hours before the dog is receiving energy from the food.

Also PRICE DOES NOT MATTER PURINAS GOOD FOOD IS 21 % PROTIEN ALWAYS HAS BEEN LESS THAN WALLY KIBBLES AND CHUCKS and cost MUCH BIGGER DOLLARS.

If going to feed your baby raw foods remember if they are not use to any raw,meat or veggy,or fruit,that it will take time for their stomachs to adjust to the change,just like you if you never ate a kiwi may make you get diariea it can a furbabie to at first. Only in alot smaller potions.

And also your babies can have allergys just like humans can,be careful when introducing new things. They've never had before,small bites is best at first. Allergys can be milk peanuts egg all the same as with humans.

I read about THAT stomach bacterias thing some where,and the RAW i TALK ABOUT here IS RAW meat!! I may go rare but not RAW. Some swear by it though an i can see the benifits OF THE RAW. Books say the dog food diet is the biggest cause of the loss of bacteries in a doggys stomach. Because of the lack of meat and veggys the amount of junk in them.

I WANT to find RECIPES MOMMY CAN EAT to SHE WON"T EAT RAW!!


Also WE NEED TO BE SURE AND READ LABLES!!
