Re: [rawfeeding] Formally, Concerning beef bones now grains and glands

John, I think everyone here has skirted around your question alittle. Yes, the anal glands do need to be worked, and yes, they do get worked when the poop is excreeted correctly, and with the right diet, that happens, and imho, the prey model diet is the right diet for my dogs.
It's up to you to choose for your dogs, but oatmeal is not something they would normally find on thier own in the wild if they were wild. If you keep the diet really prey like, they will have the right kind of poop and the anal glands should act accordingly, and be just fine.
Get started, get off the fence, you'll be fine!

PITA, Pain in the a**.

He He, thank you!!!!!
Well I do have another question that I hope some will
answer (since I am new to this). In my research so
far, I see no evidence for grain in the diet, yet some
say dogs need it to expel the anal glands, my thinking
so far is wouldn't the firm stool from RMB take care
of this?
Mind you we have not started raw yet but are ready
(researching like crazy just want to find our way)
and could use some Mentoring :-)
Thank You
