Hi all,
My name is Tom and I do research into extending the life of large breed dogs. I have fed raw (pray model) since 2000 and seen how this has affected my Great Danes in such a positive way. One of my Danes passed away this August at the age of 13. I adopted him at age 4 and he was in a bad shape from being locked up in a garage, sleeping on a cold cement floor and fed very poor quality food for most of his life. Still I got 9 good years with him.
I currently have two Great Danes one is 5 and been on raw since I adopted him at age 1 1/2. I hope he will reach 13-15 years. My second Great Dane is Odin. I just got him and he has been on raw since the age of 12 weeks. My goal with him is to reach 16 years. This will basically double the expected lifespan of a Great Dane.
I document everything I feed Odin and will do that for the rest of his life.
I hope to get other dog owners to participate is my research. You do not need to record what you feed on a daily basis. What I need is an update every 6 months.
I hope to prove that feeding raw has lots of benefits and also will extend the life of large breed dogs.
I'm also interested in tracking any size dog and document the many benefits they enjoy too.
If you like to be a part of my project please go to bigolddogs.com and register your dog(s).
Also if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
