4Health Dog Food

Parsley's nutritional value is beyond dispute. It is packed with vitamins and minerals from carotene to B vitamins and vitamin C, iron and calcium.
Parsley, in addition to its use for dog bad breath, is also noted for its diuretic properties. It can stimulate the kidneys to filter out toxins and increase urine. This property is especially helpful when heart problems or high blood pressure are an issue.

When using parsley, make sure that you use ONLY the leaves. The seeds contain high concentrations of volatile oil, which can irritate the stomach, intestines or kidneys. Higher amounts of the seeds can cause even more dangerous conditions.

So...parsley leaves are absolutely safe and they are healthy for your dog. Using them in dog treats will help you to be closer to your dog by combating nasty dog breath.

LOL I know some people who throw whole carcasses of rabbit or chickens, modified carcasses of deer, goats and Emu.
Raw can be cheaper depending on where you live. When I lived in Germany it was half the price of kibble.
Right now I am on modified kibble and raw but will be changing again soon to a mostly raw diet. Just have to watch the sales and know where to go.

The dogs in NO WAY learn to kill because they eat raw meat. If that were true then the tens of thousands of people who feed raw to dogs every day would be shouting it out to the world. It is the preconceived notions and those lacking dietary education who push the myth of raw fed killers.
Adding parsley, kelp, vit C, probiotics, Salmon oil and Vit E are good to do every day.

Thanks for this info. I decided it was worth trying to find one of the highly rated dog foods at my local pet store and switch Lilly to it for a month or so. I used the list and found the Dick Van Patton's Natural Blends in a weight management formula. Lilly tends to have weight issues, too. I started the switch over this morning (adding in about 1/4 new) and she seemed to like the taste. We'll see. It's considered a "holistic" food. I haven't had time to rate our current dog food yet, but I'm sure it's not highly rated. It's Purina Proplan weight management formula....probably not good. There weren't too many that my local store carries that were highly rated. I know that ordering dog food my mail will not be very practical for our family. So, I hope this helps!

arabianequine, your note hit my funny bone. Since we started this conversation talking about bison and venison I had this vision of a whole bison laid out in my field for my dogs...one of which is a boston terrier.

It put a smile on my face.

I know you didn't mean it that way, but it was funny.

I am not trying to poke fun at you though...

Ok here you go watch the video. Cannibalism right there. I don't even have the freezer space to do it but I think everything would get ate here. I don't see how it is cheaper. I don't mind a homemade diet I do think it would be healthier but this is kinda crazy to me.

I feed whole prey,yes,deer, calves,hogs and goats in the winter,,of course I have to chunk it up and freeze in the warm temps..my dogs peacefully live with my birds,my chickens,ducks and geese free range,my dogs do not kill them.I have paid around $300 in the last year on food for my 2 GSD,actually as of last week make that 3,my one aussie,5 shibas,and a minpin.. that $300 is counted as mostly gas money,,most of these animals I get for free.A carnivore eating meat doesnt make it a cannibal,,it is normal,just the way nature intended.
