lid enlightened us with... In article , But alas not for very long. Modern commercially prepared foods, good veterinary care and routine vaccinations have vastly extended the life of domestic pets. Cite source or retract!!!!!!!!!! As to the first... http://www.purina.com/institute/news.asp?article=421 Not to mention the fact that people didn't know (or care) about dog nutrition. They gave them scraps from the table or killing room, not a healthy, balanced BARF diet. The people didn't live as long, either. A healthy diet, commercial or otherwise, extends life. Since people usually won't prepare (time, money, etc) a well balanced raw diet, commercially prepared foods are the healthiest option. Logically: Healthy diet extends life. BARF (prepared correctly) is healthy. Commercial dog foods are healthy. Scraps are not healthy. Conclusion: If people won't prepare a BARF diet and there is no commercial food, dogs don't live as long. The second two are common sense and need no source. Good health care extends life. ------------------------------------------------- ~kaeli~ All I ask for is the chance to prove that money cannot make me happy. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace ------------------------------------------------- |

Good health care extends life. I kept using "dog", but the same goes for cats, especially with a cat's specific nutritional needs which can be harder to meet than dogs (taurine, protein, etc). ------------------------------------------------- ~kaeli~ All I ask for is the chance to prove that money cannot make me happy. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace ------------------------------------------------- |

As to the first... http://www.purina.com/institute/news.asp?article=421 This article is about how dogs who eat less commercial food live longer than dogs who eat more commercial food. This hardly supports Steve's statement that commercial food extends life. This is a heated topic that I don't have time to pursue fully. I'll just say that it is my opinion that commercially prepared foods and routine vaccination have, in fact, caused many of the disturbing and devastating problems we see in our pets today--which modern veterinary care is thankfully prepared to treat. I'm serious about asking for a source from Steve because I am seriously interested. If there is such a controlled study out there, or even a retrospective analysis, I would truly love to see it. -Alison in OH |

This hardly supports Steve's statement that commercial food extends life. It's about how diet affects life. Quality and quantity of food are important. If there is such a controlled study out there, or even a retrospective analysis, I would truly love to see it. Now, that's a much nicer way to ask. Honestly, like all things, I think it's a combo. Pets and people live longer because we know more and care more. ------------------------------------------------- ~kaeli~ All I ask for is the chance to prove that money cannot make me happy. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace ------------------------------------------------- |
