After a longer period I managed to come to this board and I was reading some old posts. I found the one about bones and freezing them to kill the bacteria (and the fact that it doesn't kill it...). Well I have a different oppinion on this matter.
I belive we are wrong to fight bacteria with every means. I belive this is only good for the industry of chemicals that we use to kill them.
Our houses are all to clean and "bacteria free" because of all the chemicals we use. But some of them are important. Heck, most of them are, the problem starts only when our organisms start to weaken.
Why is it that the kids from towns are much more alergic to everithing and they have asthma (spl?) and other related diseases more often than their fellows from the countrie side? Because the enviroment they grow up in was too sterile. This was said to be true by more than one research.
Bacterias are a part of our life. Some are useful, other just harmles, some can be sometimes dangerous. You know how some people just don't get ill even though everyone around them do - they have better imune sistem. And that's what we need to work on - our and our dogs imune sistem.
Dogs need bacteria even more than we do. They need them in their digestive process. They are not born with them, they need to get them with food. Yoghurt and pot cheese are good for this, but I doubt they're enough.
The dog owners often transfer their fear of bacteria to a dog, but this is not always for his best interest. You still remember about dog and his digging of a bone - well I heard from more that one source that the meat that is left in the ground for a couple of days is the best thing a dog can eat - I can see you making ugly faces, thinking "gross" - but I belive this to be the truth. Of course this has to be a fresh, not prefrozen meat.
Well I know from looking at my dog that she can really handle a lot of things. She never had a loose stoole from something she had stolen - and most of this thing was ... well...
.
Not to mention that she just needs to drink some water when she goes in for a swim. Well this bothers me a lot but not because of the bacteria, but because of the chemicals that are defenitelly there.
O.K. I'll stop now - this has really turned out longer than I expected, sorry. But I'm really interested in your replies.
