Ed M. 2010-11-02T19:13:21Z 2010-11-02T19:13:21Z <p>Absolutely. he's a 41/2 y/o Rhodesian ridgeback who developed rashes inside his paws which he would gnaw on and was constantly scratching. He gets organic free range chicken organ meats when we buy our supply which we boil and refrigerate together. He gets 1/2 cup of that and 1/2 cup Taste of the Wild or Blue Diamond largely protein kibble 2 x a day. No scratching, no nibbling and no infections. He is a steady 85 lbs. and very lean. The vet-who trys to sell us Science Diet and Iams is impressed but disbelieving. Our Ridgie supplements his diet with rabbit, chipmonk and squirrel.</p> <p>He is the embodiment of the paleo lifestyle. 2 hours of running at full speed-morning and night-followed by 20 hours of lounging around or sleeping.</p> <p>If we tried to get him to fast we would have to lock ourselves in the basement for fear we would be the meal.</p>
