Your photos are just gorgeous. Thank you so much for your comment. I'm lucky too, I have a vet that supports my choices too. Hey Mary, I love your web site! Your photos are just gorgeous.

You and I feed the same diet - Raw and EVO. While at my vets the other day, I was put in one of the exam rooms with my new pup to wait for the vet. A hanging folder box on the wall was open and inside was a manual that read something like, Hills Veterinary Handbook, or something like that. I had always heard that the dog food industry did alot to support vets, but I guess it was still surprising to see their veterinary manuals emblazoned with the name of the dog food company. Luckily, my vet is supportive of my feeding choice. But, it just goes to show that you can't rely on your vet for neutral information about canine (or feline) nutrition! Great post.

And I was so quick to reply, I didn't get a chance to also say congrats on your new baby. Dixie Doodle sounds wonderful, and I am so happy to hear she is better! Our Lexi was sick for the first 2 months we had her, and it's frustrating to say the least! So congrats and best wishes for a long healthy happy life with your Dixie Doodle! Thanks Cherie.

I am so sorry, I just noticed the email for your comment today in my mail folder. I am usually much more prompt with replies. I apologize. Anyway, I am not thrilled with Rachael Ray's food, BUT it's better than Iams, Eukanuba, Science Diet, Purina, etc. And yes, I don't blame you for not wanting to change until you know more. It makes sense! I started to write a whole detailed reply to your comment, but figured hey, why not create a new article instead on her food. Here is a link to the article with my review of the ingredients: http://www.tworatties.com/index.php/2009/04/28/rachael-rays-nutrish-is-it-really-nutrishious/ I commend you on your idea to possibly switch to RAW!

I've been without a dog for years, and recently adopted a sweet 2-yr old Rat Terrier-Beagle mix named Dixie Doodle. What a great girl she is! We found out a week after I adopted her that she had heartworm, so we started treatments (poor girl, pretty rough on her). But she's finally past those, and I'm getting to know her as a "well" dog, so I've started reading about nutrition for dogs (and am realizing how much it's changed since my last dog! And how scary it is out there now!). Anyway, I'm writing to ask if you have any resources or insights into Rachael Ray's Nutrish pet food line. Dixie was eating it and I've kept her on it until I learn more about what I should get. I did look at the ingredients, and it has meat (beef) as the first ingredient so I didn't want to make any changes and upset her system until I find a really great, healthy food for her. (I'm just starting to research raw foods, so I still have a lot to learn!) Good post!
