Build A Better Dog has been doing some online market research in some dog food chat rooms and some amazing ideas came out of that. Amazing in the line of total fantasy. Here are some of the statements:
1. "Raw meat diets contain carbohydrates because cows eat grain and those carbs are stored in the meat." (Not true, beef, poultry, and fish contain no carbohydrates unless you count what is in the digestive system which is discarded at slaughter. Carbs are burned and are only stored after conversion to fat or meat and soft tissue. It is no longer a carbohydrate and offers no benefits of carbohydrates.)
2. "My dogs get plenty of fiber from their raw meat diet. There is meat fiber in raw beef." (Not true, fiber comes in three forms-cellulose, hemi-cellulose, and lignen, it is the parts of the cell wall in plants and has many digestive benefits for dogs in a diet[up to about 10%] but, there is none of this in any meat products.)
3. "I don't give my dogs any vaccinations and their immune system has surged." Way too crazy for the term "not true". Remember polio and rabies.
Keep a look out on this blog site, there are many more to come.
