File - Not a miracle cure

Hello new member to the raw feeding list,

I've just read on another email list, a person who used to be on
this list complaining because she thought a raw diet was a miracle
cure for her dog's problems, despite being told several times by
people on this list that it wouldn't be.

So let me re-state this again (at the risk of sounding boring, I
know):

A raw diet provides an excellent platform upon which great health for
your dog (or cat) may be achieved. However, it is not the panacea
for all problems. It is not a miracle cure.

Many dogs (and cats) when moved to a raw diet, have found significant
health improvements. However, it is a wise animal guardian that
remains, at all time, vigilant about the condition of their animals
and themselves, and addresses issues appropriately if they arise.
Crossing fingers, and hoping for the best, is not recommended.

As such, it is up to all list members to take on board (or otherwise)
information people provide about their own experiences, but indeed,
it is the individual person who is accountable for the decisions made
in the end.

Clearly a raw diet will not fix many things. It won't fix brain
tumours, it won't fix broken legs, and it won't fix low thyroid
conditions, to name but a few. And for many of us, it won't fix a
flea problem either.

However, for many of us, it has provided our dogs with the best
possible health, but we are wise to appreciate, there may well be
issues where nothing can prevent the inevitable from happening.

If in doubt, email me privately (email: janej@tpg.com.au ), and I'll try to be more clear about this message.
