wrote in message: You mean as in - who is giving the advice on this nutrition or what he has? I don't understand your question... No. How do you know that your dogs' diet is nutritionally complete? What is your understanding of the macro and micro nutrient needs of your dogs, and how do you ensure that they a) get all the nutrients they need and b) that they are in the correct proportion. "I feed meaty bones, vegetables and organ meats, and that's all dogs need" is vague, and doesn't address the question. " I feed X amount of meaty bones with Y amount of vegetables and Z amount of organ meats. The reason I feed that way is because the meaty bones I feed contain the right proportion of A to B (say for instance Calcium to Phosphorous), and the following trace elements. The organ meats contain these other nutrients (name, proportions, quantity), and the dogs need them in this proportion because of ____" that's closer to answering the question. For instance, if someone where to ask you the following type of question, you should be able to answer it, considering that you are formulating your dog's diet, and therefore controlling whether the food's nutritional profile is adequate for a dog. Do dogs need Vitamin E? How much (in a standardized unit, like 10 IU/pound of body weight or some such)? Why? What are the natural sources through which your dog is getting Vitamin E? IOW, as an example, if someone where to ask you how you should eat (not that we all follow that) you should be able to formulate a well thought out response about what sort of proportions of carbsroteins:fats we need, what sources we should use, how much of what we should ideally eat, why, etc. You are expected to have the same sort of rationale when you're concocting the diet for your dog as well.

: i have no idea what proportion of fats to carbs to protein i'm supposed to be eating. I don't think that's atypical. The difference is that you aren't going around telling other people to adopt your diet because it's The Bestest. -- Shelly http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) |

: i'm pretty sure it would be better if there were more pie. pie rules. I will not argue that, as it seems like sound reasoning to me. Hmmm. I'm thinking tomorrow might be another snow day (it's been sleeting since early afternoon, which can't be a good thing), and *that* could mean baking an apple pie. Or apple tartlets. Or something like that. -- Shelly http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) |
