Can dogs and cats really thrive on an all-raw fermented milk diet?

No, there aren't any merits to this. As we talked about before, companies will make bold claims to get you to buy their products. You see it all the time with homeopathic products claiming to cure things such as cancer. They want you to buy their product.

Sorry, but I had to laugh at what you say the company is saying. There is absolutely no scientific proof at all that a raw diet can cure and prevent disease. And of course they would say it's safe, they are trying to sell you their food! Butter is bad for dogs, it's quite fatty and can cause pancreatitis. Do not buy this food. You will be risking getting Chloe and yourself sick from it. You get sick by handing it and since the bacteria like E coli and Salmonella remain on her tongue for hours after eating raw food, her licking you can get you sick.

I personally support raw feeding diet but for most owners it will usually not work out. there are some good points in your posts, dehydration resulting from dry food can become a problem especially with cats (in theory, it has not been proven), many commercial foods contain many by products indeed and i personally believe those are very unhealthy. in my mind, if you afford and are willing to feed your cat a raw diet- then you should definitely go for it.

As far as my knowledge goes this is not officially (scientifically) recommended as cannot help with both allergies and general gastrointestinal inflammation related to diet. Personally I do not recommend it in these cases. It is true though that goat milk can be digested more easily compared to dairy milk.

You are right, this is a myth. Some people even believe that today's modern dogs are descended directly from wolves, and therefore should be fed raw. When was the last time you saw a pack of pugs running wild in the woods taking down deer? It's ridiculous! Todays dogs are so far removed from wolves it's even funny. They have evolved, and grains are beneficial to dogs. Dogs are actually omnivores, and even wolves in wild will eat the contents of the stomach of their prey first, which consists of veggies and grains! I hope this helps!

Great question! The person who told you dairy products are not good for dogs is correct. It's never recommended to give dogs dairy products because it causes GI upset. As for home made foods, your friend is also correct they typically aren't good for dogs. That's because that many home made diets are not nutritionally balanced, and your dog won't be getting all the nutrients they need. I personally recommend feeding a dog formulated food, but if you want to feed a homemade diet, I will put links to two websites below that have recipes for homemade dog foods that are nutritionally balanced.

Many cats are lactose intolerant and can develop vomiting and diarrhea as a result of ingesting dairy products. There is no need to give Bent any cow's milk and if anything, it can cause more harm than good. If he is under 4-5 weeks of age, he should be receiving kitten formula (Esbilac is one example). Canned or moistened kibble kitten food can be introduced around 4 weeks of age.
