Five years ago one of our three cats was diagnosed with diabetes. Her symptoms were heart breaking ... no matter how much she ate her body could not use the nourishment and she lost half of her body weight. Her hair began to fall out in huge clumps. The neuropathy in her back legs was so severe she was unable to walk and she painfully drug her legs behind her. She was dying before my eyes! Our attempts to get her disease under control with daily insulin injections were slow and it was time that we didn't have. My frantic search for help on the Internet led me to the discovery that I had been feeding my carnivore an expensive, "premium", commercial cat food that was about as species appropriate as a steak dinner would be for a rabbit!

I began researching what it meant to be a carnivore. I found that every system and physical structure in both a dog and cat from their heads to their tails are made to rip, tear, shred, gnaw, digest, and excrete whole, raw prey. Their physiological structure indicates without a doubt that grains and vegetables are not a natural part of their God-given menu. A dog appears to have an extremely limited digestive ability to utilize vegetation but a cat, being an obligate carnivore, has absolutely no physical capability whatsoever. I believe my good intentions to give my animals a healthy long life by feeding them "top shelf" kibble filled with grains and a host of other inappropriate and outrageously unhealthy ingredients had dire consequences! I became convinced that if I changed all of my cats' diets to one they were meant to eat that their health would improve. I was right! Bebes is still with us and experiences very low blood sugar numbers although she still is on insulin. She has never had any of the infections common to diabetic felines. Rocky no longer has painful constipation and the bi-annual go-arounds with struvite crystals. And Dolly no longer suffers with constantly clogged and infected anal glands.

We have since added a wonderful dog to our family. He is a Shetland Sheepdog (Sheltie) and he, too, now enjoys the wonderful benefits of a raw meat, bone and organ diet. When we got him he was 11 months old and already had teeth that needed to be scaled! He had terrible breath, doggy odor, a course wiry coat, and huge smelly poos. After starting him on raw meat and bones it took about 3 months for his teeth to clean up. He immediately lost his doggy odor and clean up in the yard became a breeze. Jesse shed his coarse coat over a two week period and it was replaced with a beautiful soft, shiny, and more richly colored one. The white was whiter and the black was blacker. He was transformed before my eyes!
