Old Dog - Quiz

Quiz belongs to my friend Cindy.  He is an old guy at 15 y/o. 

Just a few short months ago Quiz could barely walk, certainly not run. He was on his last legs. 
His coat was dull & dry.  He had little energy and often he would topple over. 

Now look at him

Running with the other dogs after his beloved Blue Ball.

He still has the occasional wobble, turning is hard for him because his hips are growing weak.

Running!  He is actually RUNNING!

What did Cindy do to bring about this incredible change in Quiz?  

Not much, she just switched him from kibble to a totally raw diet. 

Viola! 

Chasing after his beloved Blue Ball once again. 

On top of the increased mobility & energy, Quiz's coat is soft, supple and healthy again. 
What is left of his teeth are clean again, not caked with tartar & plaque.

Alas, age is catching up with him.  Last night he thought my car door was Cindy.  Occasionally Cindy finds him stuck in corner.  But for now, he is happy and most of all healthy. 

There are many different debates over which raw diet is better.  This is not a testament for one particular diet over another, rather just sharing information if you would like to make the switch for your dogs too.  Cindy has been using this book as a reference "Unlocking the Canine Ancestral Diet: Healthier Dog Food the ABC Way."  

Feeding raw is less expensive than a premium dog food too - if you do it wisely.  We stick to a formula when buying our foods and refuse to pay more than $1.20 cents a pound for any protein source (beef, pork, chicken etc).  By being very careful with the amount of money spent on veggies, organ meats, mackerel, sardines, eggs, pumpkin, yams, vitamin & probiotic supplement, etc. I spend 1/2 what I was spending before feeding my dogs Acana (approx $64.00 per 29 lb bag).   The difference in my own dogs (e.g. Ranger's leg) has been significant too.

Old Dog, Quiz.  

Living evidence showing the power of a raw diet.
