In the wild....they get carbs from the gut of their 'kill'.......but they are
all pre-digested. <G>
Maybe our dogs are "odd".....( shut up Paul ) <G>
BUT left to their own...our dogs will always go into the garden and eat
Zucchini, & carrots. They also will pick blackberries with me...AND... they
ONLY pick and eat the ripe blackberries! <G> Also, some seem to like
Cantaloupe rind. When I managed a restaurant I brought home all the cores of
the lettuce that was removed from the lettuce that day in a big box to feed to
the geese we had. The dogs would line up on one side, and the geese on the
other and all would SNATCH a lettuce core for themselves and come back for more
if the geese left any.
Also....when we had
horses and had them shod...the dogs would line up and wait for their share of
horse hoof trimmings to eat....with RELISH. The Farrier said almost all of
his clients dogs would do that if allowed. I personally don't
think we can pinpoint exactly what they MUST eat or used to eat for
survival...and nothing else should be allowed in their diet......except maybe
no Chocolate. <G>

Nothing to do with good or bad carbs, the dogs GI system is just not set up to
easily break down cards. Carbs , veggies and grains, are chewed by herbivores
( cows and humans) side to side motion of the lower jaw begins the digestion
process along with a certain enzymes in the saliva.... Dogs don't have this
enzyme in their saliva, dogs don't have lateral side to side movement of the
lower jaw, dogs don't have flat teeth like humans and cows, dogs have adjusted
to carbs and they can survive eating them... Just as humans have adjusted to
putting cigarette smoke down their lungs. Survive does not mean thrive!
Dogs don't need carbs! Ed

Ed, you know there is a big difference between carbs. Veggie carbs (and some
others) = good most grain carbs (and others) = bad

Yes she does, and believe it or not I don't agree with everything she says
either, even on raw diets! She believes dogs, cats need a balanced diet every
meal ( not true) and sometimes she says dogs don't need carbohydrates ( they
don't) and then she talks about feeding veggies! Can't have it both ways but I
really really like this vet! She is not afraid to apply the science with common
sense, she admits her mistakes! She even almost broke down into tears in one
video! I get her emails too! But I ain't gonna join FB... I don't like her
enough to do that! We think alike Iza... Is it because I love your dogs and we
have the same birthday? Go Raiders! FB

Ed – I am subscribed to her e-mails and Mercola e-mails, and I enjoy reading
them. The only thing I very much DISLIKE about HER is that she refers to dog
owners as “GUARDIANS” and that is not good <wlEmoticon-sadsmile[1].png>

Go to this website and hit tab : pet videos! www.healthypets.mercola.com I
must admit I am quite impressed with this holistic pet veterinarian, Dr. Karen
Becker! She covers a wide variety of topics , I'd love to have her speak at
the GSDCA annual seminar, oh yeah, almost forgot, we don't have one ( just one
of many reasons to have new board members) any way, I just watched her video,
(25 minutes long) on spaying and neutering dogs!... I've owned dogs since I was
9 and have never spayed or neutered a dog, never required a pet buyer to do it
either!, not saying it's a bad thing to do, I just don't do it! Check out her
website and videos.. She is very different, just like my wife's husband! Oh
yea, one more thing before I waste my day watching football, I will only make
ONE video showing how I feed my dogs, at the end of my presentation I will
reference Dr Becker's three part video on the raw diet! She does it far better
than I could have! I am starting to really like this vet! I almost joined
Facebook so I could follow her.... Then I came back to my senses!... Maybe the
Raiders will win today...anything is possible! FB
