Commercial dog foods can actually contain dogs.
Where did you get that information from? huh

A documentary done on factory farming and an investigation done into animals put down from RSPCA and other shelters, given for food. Disturbing stuff.

Dogs on a pure meat and vege diet don't even need worming, their bodies will do it naturally.
Where did you get that information from aswell? When you buy organic it means no chemicals where used on the pasture or animal. This means the cow, sheep, pig etc has never been sprayed for worms or other intestinal parasites and has a high risk of carrying the parasites that can be passed onto your dog.  I would never feed organic meat to my dog, cats and ferret - you should seek out free ranged farms.
When a dog eats the diet it is meant to eat, i.e. 90% meat and 10% veges, it's body will naturally expel worms. You can back it up with a herbal remedy if you wish but it isn't necessary. My dogs aren't on anything and have never had a problem. Yes, sorry, I thought I said organic free range. Point is to seek good natural meat for dogs that's all happy

Whats the documentary? happy

Correct me if im wrong but Dont the pounds have to euthanize with the "green dream" ? If the Pounds use the "Green Dream" they cant use the body as it is toxic and will kill the animal the consumed the meat.

@OinkMoo do you use dog biscuits/dry food? Because our dogs are allergic to many kinds of dry food that we used to mix with the meat, we can only use this super dooper organic black hawk stuff now, and they're fine!
It also depends on what kind of meat you are feeding your dog, some dogs are more adaptable to chicken over beef, or turkey etc rather than a mix. You could try changing that too and see what happens.

But personally, unless any of you are experienced breeders vet nurses or vets, I would recommend consulting a professional over the matter, because self diagnosing the problem isn't always the best way to fix it. Sure, it might cost you a bit, but in the end isn't having the correct diet suited to your dog worth it?

I think it's cruel to make you dogs vegeterian. Your making a decision for them that they might not want.
