"gave them a taste for blood"
this is another one of those things that we hear all the time, i've just swapped vets because i'm so sick of our old one moaning about the girls diet and claiming i'm setting myself up for turning my dogs aggressive. people have successfully fed raw diets for years with no aggression issues. someone on a forum recently put if raw feeding made dogs blood thirsty then women all over the world would been been attacked when they have their menstrual cycle.
like kate says there maybe an increase in resource guarding but only because they now have something that they think is worth guarding. nothing highly priced about small lumps of round dry hard taseless food as far as my girls are concerned, but give them a rack of lamb ribs and we'd have all out war if i left them together.
as for an increase in general aggression i have to say that both my dogs are way more chilled than they where on kibble diets, the difference in coat quality is amazing, venus never had a good coat not even what you could call a proper akita coat but now she does. we have less shedding aswell.
i also have to say thats its costing me a hell of a lot less to feed them as well. even with me buying a beef heart every week which is their biggest food expense at the moment of a massive £3.50 a week lol and something i don't really have to buy but both girls love it. that does them 2 meals each a week. plus some left over to make training treats.
