Information on feeding raw food to dogs
I have fed my Great Danes raw food for
over 8 years. This website is a collection
of all the information I have found on
feeding dogs a raw natural diet.
I have spent hundreds of hours
researching this subject. Back in the
early 2000 it was still very controversial
to give dogs raw food instead of
commercial dog food.
In 2000 I came across the book Give
your dog a bone” After reading this book
I was convinced this was the right thing
to do -- give my dog the food it was
designed to eat -- raw natural food.
A dog’s digestive system is design for
raw natural food. Large breed dogs like
Great Danes benefit greatly on a raw
diet. These dogs need a large amount of
nutrients to sustain a healthy life style
and prevent many deceases.
But, it is not guarantee as I experienced
with Camelot l. He developed a tumor in
his chest that started bleeding and
ended his life. Otherwise he was a very
active and 8 1/2 year old with no signs of
joint problems or other common
problems Danes often experience.
This is Camelot and Rex. Camelot passed away unexpectedly in August of
2008. You can read more about Camelot l here. Rex is 12 years old.
My newest rescue is Camelot ll. I got
him from Colorado Great Dane
Rescue. Camelot was extremely timid
and scared of all foreign noises. He
has come a long way since then. He
is now a happy balanced dog
exceptionally kind and friendly
towards any human and dog. Read

Raw Fed Danes
Rescue Danes
All of my Danes are from rescue. It is
disturbing how many Great Danes end
up in rescue. Rex my 12 year old was
rescued from The Mid Atlantic Great
Dane Rescue League. They have at
anytime over 75 Great Danes in foster
homes waiting for a family to adopt
them.
Please consider adopting a Dane from
your local Great Dane Rescue
organization. Do not let their size stop
you from consider one. They really are
quite easy to handle and train. You can
live in a one bedroom apartment with a
Great Dane if you provide enough
exercise. I have traveled across US in
my motorhome with two Great Danes
for three years. No problem what so
ever.
K9 Nutrition (yahoo group)
This is my favorite group addressing all aspects of K9 nutrition. They do not
discriminate dog owners choosing to give their dogs commercial dog food,
but they do favor raw natural food. Excellent group for people thinking of
switching to raw.
