Problems are now here with Natura pet products.

The biggest thing on this board that irritates me the most is people who insist in writing is such oversized fonts. I don't know what they are trying to prove. Do they think their words carry more weight if they are in a larger font? Do they think it gives them some authority to be in a larger font?

If you are directing this "aside" to me, my reasons are quite simple: the larger font just easier to type & read after (ahem) a certain age.

HAHA!!! I knew you were gonna make me feel bad and come back with this "blind" thing.
HOWEVER ... when you are answering a post, the size your font ends up on the post has nothing to do with the small font that you are typing in. You seem to be able to read the posts of others ok when in a normal size font. I haven't seen you miss an opportunity to comment.

ETA: My certain age is higher than your certain age, I'm certain. :)

Responding to WHAT? The thread is about Natura being bought by P&G. Where does RAW come into that discussion?

That's the whole point. You won't find anyone who feeds kibble coming into the RAW forum & telling YOU that what you are doing is evil & killing your dog.

No one doubts that you are in pain & grieving over the loss of a beloved pet & family member. However, this is going too far.

Stay on topic and stop taking potshots at people who disagree with you and you won't have a problem.

excuse me. but go to page 30 and look at what ubershann wrote. i was responding to her. she asked me directly.

and i am told every day that i am killing my dog.

i don't take potshots....i was responding to a question.

Can you hear me now?
No?

What about now?



In all seriousness, lets not get too upset over nothing. Magicre apologized, and it's over. We could argue about font for a while though... and see just how productive that is!

When I fed kibble, I was incredibly annoyed that I would post my questions and hear nothing but RAW RAW RAW back. That being said, as "annoying" as it was, it ultimately saved my dog, so just how ticked off can I be?
I think it HAS gotten much better since then, but too ALL raw feeding members of his forum: If you have no KIBBLE advice, then don't post in the kibble section. To all kibble feeding members of this forum: If you do not want to hear about raw, do not bring it up.Over 75% of the "pushing raw" complaints we get are from kibble feeders who have brought up raw, and then get mad when the raw feeders reply. It's silly. I'm not saying that's the case here. I have no idea, and really am not interested enough to read the entire thread over.

So for the price you pay for your kibble and the premade raw, your dog could have a nice raw diet. How much food do you think a dog eats in a day on a raw diet? A 50lb dog would get 1lb of raw a day split into 2 meals, thats almost a chicken quarter and thats all.

The raw I feed adds between $3-$4 a week. And I get all my food at cost, so I'm not really paying high prices. From all the info I've found I'll need to feed more than just 1 pound a day (2-4% of their body weight, and up to 10% for puppies, and she's still a puppy), and unfortunately she doesn't do well on chicken, which makes the cheaper options much more limited.

Like I've said, I agree that raw is ultimately the best diet, but until I can find a way to go fully raw and still be able to feed the rest of the family and pay rent each month, I'm going to continue feeding a high quality kibble (that she does very well on) and add whatever raw I can. Hopefully at some point I will be able to feed all raw, I would love that!

To feed raw or not to feed raw ... that is the question.

ubershann I guess you didn't read my post that I posted yesterday about joining the co-op?

I saw you mentioned there's a co-op here, but I don't know which one you mean. What's it called? I can look it up

[whiteleo]

Go to the raw feeding thread and there is a sticky for co-ops, it is under WA/OR and is through Yahoo groups, you have to join up, answer some questions etc. and be accepted which everyone is. No fee.

yeah Linsey, I posted on this also awhile back...personally, I don't give a rip if a post turns into a Raw discussion because I enjoy learning about the entire subject. If I don't like it, computers are great...they have this nice scroll feature that allows be to breeze right through any posts I dislike ;)

But obviously, we've gotten to the point where its becoming not constructive and we all end up fighting about the subject.
