Just ran across this link recently and it's very informative.

WHAT CAUSES YEAST TO OVERGROW?

Many factors contribute to yeast overgrowth in dogs such as poor diet
(feeding grains/carbohydrates/sugars), the use of antibiotics, steroids
and other prescription drugs, environmental toxins, vaccines, and stress.

Genetics, environmental factors, smoking in the household, moisture, breed,
anatomical anomolies.... It's not JUST kibble. Until I see every single raw
fed dog live well into the teens with absolutely no medical issues
(including being able to magically repel AND kill all stages of the flea and
ticks), I can't buy your version of 'kibble kills'. Be very careful giving
medical advice bsaed one this one bit of obsession you have.

Good that you know that! Kibble is just one of many possibilities but
unfortunately it's by far the most common one.

Medical studies are an obsession? Wanting to feed my dogs the best I can
is an obsession? Another troll it seems....

I just buried my raw fed Aussie after almost 15 years and she never had
a medical issue.

It seems your only answer to everything. It's not.

Another troll it seems....

Hardly.

I just buried my raw fed Aussie after almost 15 years and she never had a
medical issue.

And I had dogs live well into their teens eat only kibble with no medical
problems. Show me a reliable study (double blind perhaps) that proves that
kibble is responsible for most medical problems in dogs. Until then, it's
your obsession.

HAH - my crap-kibble, over vaccinated and over flea treated mutt lived
longer. What do either prove?

You have yet to post a link to anything even remotely resembling a
"medical study."

We all want to feed our dogs the best we can. It's just that some of
us have opinions that differ greatly from yours as to what constitutes
"best."

I have a 22 year old cat who's been fed crap-in-a-bag food for most of
her life. We could sit here and trade anecdotes for the rest of our
lives, but it means nothing.

Very good point. I think my point is that everyone wants to provide the best
care for the pet members of their families to the best of their abilities
and capabilities. For those that research raw diets and are diligent about
the ingredients and preparation and work in conjunction with their vets
initially to make sure that it's going well, fantastic! It does work. But
not all pet owners have the time or capability to dedicate to this feeding
method. In that case, commercial foods work just fine. In fact, there are
many, many different foods out there for different body types and
conditions. Those geared to helping support dogs health through prescription
diets (liver, kidney, diabetic health etc) save lives and can give the pets
comfort.

Point - nobody here or elsewhere deserves to be guilted into thinking that
the food they feed their much loved dog promotes ill health. It's uncalled
for and certainly not substantiated by veterinary medical science.

My goodness, why is everyone here such a bitch? What makes you so angry?
Carrying those heavy bags of kibble in? LOL!

It's not anger. You are making statements of fact without valid proof.

Oh, you do, do you? In the thread "Last Batch of Frontline Lost
Effectiveness in a Week" you wrote, and I quote:

"Also, as long as you all are feeding your pets kibble you
will have terrible problems with allergies, hot spots, yeast
infections, etc.

OK, prove that my dog has "terrible problems with allergies,
hot spots, yeast infections, etc." I warn you, that's gonna be
a tough one to prove since it isn't at all true :-).
