Does feeding a dog raw make them aggressive or increase the chances of it turning on you?

Myth
Blake my brother, does eating a cool and nice ice cream makes you feeling hot and sweaty,or does it leave a burning taste in your mouth after wards...?
Some dogs are more protective over their raw food than they ever would if they ate kibble. I don't accept it one bit on my yard. But you should be aware that sometimes there is a difference.
Lol. I personally didnt believe it, but after hearing it so many times I had to adk.Originally Posted by DOGNMAN
Thanks skipper
It turns them into blood thirsty killers. Actually it is a myth, but a myth that sure has been kept going. EWO
There is actually some truth to it.
Take my Stormbringer dog, for example: I could feed him kibble and he would start eating it no problem. I wasn't feeding raw back then, but I did give him knucklebones ... and as soon as I gave that fucker a bone, I couldn't get near him for 2 hours. He would literally go after me like I was an enemy.
Even my Silverback dog was sketchy when I fed him a raw, whole animal. Again, I could feed The Gorilla kibble and I could eat out of the bowl with him. Didn't care. For that matter, I I could feed him raw chicken quarters, and he'd wag his tail at me as I watched. But if I gave Silverback a raw, whole RABBIT (or chicken or quail) ... he would always move away from me ... and if I pushed the issue and got close to him ... he would start to growl at me. The Gorilla never flat-out attacked me, like Stormbringer would if he had a bone, but Silverback damned sure would warn me not to fuck with him when he had a "kill."
So I have to say there *is* some truth to the fact raw flesh makes dogs more likely to bite, at least it does with super alpha-male type dogs. In fact, if people watch "The Best You Can Do" aspect of my DVD on raw, you can watch Silverback growl at me, when I get close to him while he's eating a raw quail.
That said, under normal circumstances, feeding chicken quarters etc. has never caused any dog to go after me, but I haven't really messed with my dogs when I feed them. But I absolutely I would NEVER let any little children go anywhere near a bulldog while they're eating raw meat.

Thanks Jack for the info. Really helpful.
Interesting. I have never experienced that with any of my dogs. I am not sure how I would take that. I have fed dry food, raw, as well as whole prey and never seen any aggressive behavior. Learn something every day. EWO
