The bluedog site is reknown among paleo dog feeders as being full of bad
logic, bad information and prejudice. Besides, she is a seller of a
"premium" kibble, and has everything to gain from promoting it. The author
has resisted all attempts of engaging in fruitful discussion. She's as much
of a writeoff for us as Ornish is for Paleos.
Personally, I can't decide whether the benefits of being able to digest
something outweigh its value as food once the enzymes are destroyed and
proteins altered, and neither can my dog.
