After NATURE: Why We Love Cats and Dogs aired last, we received this thoughtful comment in Jerry’s Guestbook …
Glad PBS found you both and your angel Jerry for their show. I want to share what may be a hopeful future for all of our doggie angels that come to us…We lost a 6 year old dog to cancer, who had been on nothing but regular dry dog food her whole life. A couple of years later, I ended up with a wonderful chow/shepherd mix angel in my life… From day one. I never fed her off the shelf dry food. I was determined to prevent her from getting cancer. I feed her cooked chicken, rice, and veggies, everyday…
Only in the end, when she seemed to want more vitamin foods, I incorporated a little of some Bison specialty dry food with her chicken. She stayed with me for 15 years. She never got cancer! In fact, she was in perfect health in many ways when I had to make the decision to put her down, the worst thing that has ever happened in my life. Her blood work was perfect. Her coat was shiny.
Anyway, my story is that I believe I prevented my friend from getting Cancer, by NOT, feeding her dry food. I would highly recommend giving your dog real meats and veggies, just like you give yourself. This may not work in every case. But, I think we would see this rash of Cancer in our friends subside with a more natural doggie style diet.

We couldn’t agree more that a nutritious, natural diet is imperative for keeping pups healthy. Check out these links to previous posts from Tripawds Featured Blogs when considering feeding a raw or grain-free diet for your dog…
