My beautiful border collie cross is allergic to certain ingredients in dog foods. I've had him on expensive hypoallergenic dog food.

Recently spoke with a pet shop owner who told me to try my him on raw meats and fish with veg, any natural foods that animals would find in the wild such as raw eggs etc...

I'm a little weary about this as family members have said when a dog has the taste for blood that's when they become vicious.

Has anyone ever had a dog on a raw food diet and what are the pros and cons?

Help and advice would be great!!

My pooch was allergic to many foods. You do not need to worry that feeding raw meat will lead to viciousness. There are those who recommend such a diet but I would be tempted to alternate between a good hypoallergenic food and simply prepared foods (rice and boiled chicken, rice and eggs etc).

I have mine on raw food diet sometimes just for a change and he's never had a problem . Raw chicken wings , mince ( but should be frozen first then defrosted) fish , beef and mix them with veg and boiled rice or pasta

Rubbish!!! My cousin is dog nut and she feeds her dogs raw chicken wings. She wouldn't do it if there was any risk if harming the dog or turning them vicious!

Awhh thank you!! My family are all superstitious and I think they have made up an old wives tale.

I think I will try the raw diet with veg etc...

But please if anyone has ever had any bad experiences with it please comment...

Yes I was told to freeze it to get rid of harmful bacteria and such.

And uncooked bones don't carry the risk that cooked bones have.

If you have a proper butcher near you see if he will give you/do you a deal on chicken carcasses that have had most of the meat removed. It's just waste to the butcher but to your dog it's a great treat!

I feed my 2 on raw.

Have it delivered frozen every 2 weeks, from my supplier. I make the order of various raw meats.

I do supplement with veg and apples.

Not cheap these days as getting more popular.

I have a 3 year old staff and a 1 year old springer. The springer has been feed raw since he was 14 weeks old.

No problems with either digestion or temperament.

Both my cats are raw fed as well

And most butchers have to pay to have that waste removed so you'd be doing them a favour. X

My dogs eat raw tripe on a daily basis and my greyhound is scared of his own shadow so I'm assuming that's a myth

It is absolutely a myth, I feed my German shepherd on a raw diet of meat and bones, no veg except occasional kitchen scraps.

He is a picture of health. Join Raw Feeding UK on Facebook to learn more about it.

Youd only have a problem if you ran around with a hunk a hunk of meat and got the dog to 'hunt' its food. No worries about raw food

I have my springer on a raw diet, its calmed him down if anything. With all the sugar and rubbish is standard dog food, raw is better for them. You'll find a decrease in the number of doggy landmines and they dont drink as much due to getting the most nutrients out of their food. Just make sure you do a gentle transition, otherwise it may upset their stomach a tad. Like someone else mentioned, raw feeding uk on facebook is brilliant! It will give you guides as to how much you need to feed and what is best to give them
