Raw food
Hello all.
I am new to this group and see that there have been some posting about feeding dogs raw dog food. I would like to say that I have boxers ( 2 of them but one I think is a moose lol ) and I have been feeding them raw since I got them. I have grown to love the raw dog food although the smell at times from the food and from the dogs is not the best but I know how wonderful it is for the dogs so I will put up with some smells. I love everything that the raw food has to offer the dogs so much that I have started a small home based business. I am selling ground up organ meat, ground up fruit and veggies and yogurt. I am in Andrew Alberta, but I make runs down to Calgary. People that live closer to me come and buy from me. My customers have said that their dogs LOVE my organ meat more then any other that they have had and that makes me feel really good knowing that I am helping in the quality of food for other dogs not only my own. I hope that I am not being to forward here but if anyone in the area would like to set up a delivery schedule with me please do so and email me privately at . Thank you all for your time and here is to good health for our babes Jodie |

I am in Andrew Alberta, but I make runs down to Calgary. You're in my area and I've actually been investigating prepared raw food. I used to feed Mountain Dog to one of my dogs but after looking at it carefully, I discontinued its use. The brands I like are simply too expensive. Anyway, I'm in your market area and actively investigating such foods. You've made my search a little bit easier by letting me take you off my short list (And before I ever heard of you!). I refuse to buy anything from spammers, especially those who spam the health group. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

I am not spamming a health group. I was told that I should come into
a few of the groups and let people know what I am selling. I do not like people that spam. I get way to many email in my in box from them and it drives me nuts. I was not totally sure how to get out and let people know about what I do and was told to try this type of form. Maybe I was blind or stupid by doing this but I believe in having a very healthy choice for our dogs. I have got quite a few customers from this type of form and the more people that I can help with providing a healthy choice for their dog then the better. I am not trying to bother anyone. Just trying to inform. That is all. I to know what you say about Mountain dog. My dogs did like it in the beginning but then they started to use to much alpha as a filler and now my guys will not even look at it. I do beef and ground chicken for them. Sometime they get wild game or bison also. They love that. Anyway have a nice day.

You were misinformed about how to sell your product. You are spamming a health discussion group. |

Well I do have to apologizes to you all then. I have talked with other
members and was told that they truly did appreciate me posting a message like this. In no means did I ever think that I was spamming a groups. So sorry. I have sent out a few message on a few groups that I am members of. The ad in paper did not work and the postings at a few stores did not work as well. Posting a message to a few groups have paid off more then I would of ever though. I wish you all the best of luck and success with your animals. Jodie |

There's no such thing. and was told that they truly did appreciate me posting a message like this. I don't. I also take it as a sign that the "business" is circling the drain and unlikely to be around at this time next year, another reason not to get involved with them. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |

Well I do have to apologizes to you all then. I have talked with other members and was told that they truly did appreciate me posting a message like this. As Melinda said, there are no members here. What we have are dog owners who are concerned about their dogs' health. And there's the rub: Your advertising clogs up the pipeline of information. I've seen some newsgroups in which advertising outnumbers on-topic discussion; chicken and egg. In no means did I ever think that I was spamming a groups. So sorry. I have sent out a few message on a few groups that I am members of. The ad in paper did not work and the postings at a few stores did not work as well. I also run a small pet-related business which, by its nature, is restricted to a specific locale. Word of mouth works best. Spamming your stuff to the world doesn't seem effective. In your situation, I'd be setting up and manning a booth at local dog events. For example, my agility group puts on trials 3 or 4 times a year which each draw about 100 competitors. Many handlers feed raw. There is no charge - captive audience, free space. There are plenty of such trials in Alberta - all you have to do is get in touch with the trial committee. Usually all vendors are welcome, but this depends on space and if there's a sponsoring vendor of a similar product. Here are the upcoming agility trials in Alberta: http://www.trainingtroop.rocky-dog.c...ta_trials.html My group is putting on a one day cancer fundraiser this coming Saturday in Olds (the first time we've taken our trials on the road). If you're passing by, drop by. I'd honestly be happy to meet you and help your business in any way I can. Posting a message to a few groups have paid off more then I would of ever though. Good for you, but I wouldn't base a business plan on the clientele which world-wide spam engenders. I wish you all the best of luck and success with your animals. Jodie -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

Unfortunately, whoever told you that you could advertise on newsgroups was DEAD WRONG. If you Google for the FAQ called "Advertising on Usenet: How to do it, how not to do it" you will find helpful information. (Key pieces of data -- DO NOT advertise on any group that doesn't have a suffix ..marketplace, and if you are going for awareness, put business-card-type copy in a signature file and just participate and develop a good reputation that will trickle into your business.) If you Google for "Boulder Pledge," you will find out why you have alienated your potential target audience. |
