Thanks for posting; I just finished reading “Give Your Dog A Bone” by Ian Billinghurst. Buddy is not raw fed yet, but only because I am still in the learning phase myself and want to have it clear in my own mind on feeding it correctly before making the switch.
I don’t find the arguments against it to creditable since we now know that Vets receive little to none education on nutrition and the dog food spokesman’s clearly have an alterative motive.
One of many things I found interesting in Dr. Billinghurst book was not just the problems with commercial dog food as a whole but the problem with feeding dogs a “complete and balanced diet” in every meal and the problems that poses to the health of the dog.
2000? That's a pretty old article. Don't they have anything newer in the last 7 yrs to discredit raw feeding?
As usual, consider the source:
Some newer (than the article) info re: Churchill on the Univ. of Minn. CVN website lists, among other things, under "Current Funding":
"Impact on Feline Health of Raw Food versus Commercial Diets Ralston Purina" Hmmmm.
also old info re: Abood, but from the same time as the article was written, and from the same school:
When her residency concluded, she was approached by Ralston Purina for a position in its research and development area. "I’d never thought of this as an option," she said. "I had begun to believe I’d be involved in an academic career."
Nevertheless, she found she liked it. She did nutrition education at most of the veterinary schools in North America and at local, regional, national, and international meetings. She was also involved with the company’s competitive grant programs and did some collaborative research.

That was another thing very helpful in his book was his indebt description of the different food items and the nutritional value of each. Great book, I really like his writing style, he is very easy to understand. Just so much information to absorb with just reading it one time, will take a few times for me to have a better understanding.
