http://groups.yahoo.com/group/doghealth2/   "Doghealth2 contains an exchange of information pertaining to dog health (both in pure breed and mixed breed canines of all ages), primarily regarding the use of drugs that can or have caused illness and/or death in dogs. The focus is presently on the drug Rimadyl (carprofen). However, all issues regarding dogs' health can be addressed at this site. Do you have a dog a dog with arthritis, orthopedic problems? Your Veterinarian may not be aware of the potential serious adverse side effects of Rimadyl. Many Veterinary clinics prescribe it for postoperative pain, etc. There may be safer alternatives."

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SeniorRawFeeding/ "SeniorRawFeeding is a list that is dedicated to the discussion of feeding a raw diet to your senior dog where "senior" can be defined according to what you feel is geriatric for your particular breed.  The focus of this group is to discuss specific raw feeding issues in the senior dog including, but not limited to, changing your senior over to a raw diet, feeding for longevity and the prevention of disease, feeding for kidney disease, feeding for liver disease, feeding for arthritis or feeding for any other issues that specifically involve our senior dogs.  While all topics relating to senior dogs are welcome, the only pre-requisite of this group is that you are either feeding your dog a raw diet or you are interested in changing over to a raw feeding programme. This is not a group that is designed to discuss the pros and cons of raw feeding."

RAW FOOD/COOKED FOOD DIETS

For Veterinarians and Veterinary Technicians Only: There is a list for veterinarians and veterinary technicians which deals with the subject of raw food diets. There is an increasing awareness in the veterinary community that information provided about dog nutrition generally is full of misinformation.  Part of the role of this list is to expose those myths. Importantly, this list is about educating and reeducating the  veterinarian peer group about appropriate raw diets for dogs and cats. To join the list, please send an email to: rawvet-owner@yahoogroups.com, detailing your reasons for wanting to join the list, your profession, your clinic location, and vet association registration number (or the like).   NOTE: This list is NOT for the "pet owner" seeking vet advice or a well  educated vet in their local area.  Please do not try to join, as you will be screened out.  

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rawdiet  The original raw-feeding e-mail list (started Sept 27, 1998). Rawdiet is for anyone who feeds their animals a raw-food diet (such as BARF, Billinghurst, Volhard, Pitcairn, Levy, etc) or people interested in learning about feeding this way. Focused mainly on dogs, but cats as well as any other animal (furred, feathered, scaled or finned) are welcome.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RawDogCanada (Recognizing Animal Wellness) Dog Canada - is for dog owners who would like to learn or share information about feeding raw diets. Other health related topics such as herbs, homeopathy, vaccines or alternative modalities may also be included in discussions as we recognize they sometimes times go hand in hand with wholesome, fresh food nutrition. List members are primarily Canadian, but we always welcome our raw feeding friends from around the world.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BARF-lite  This list is for those interested in getting their dog started on the Raw/BARF diet or are already on it. We have a much more relaxed atmosphere here. You won't get chastised for feeding commercial food (well, maybe if it's a really dreadful one like Ol' Roy), cooking for your dog, or grinding RMBs. We know there is no "only one right way" of feeding.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/k9health  An international group of animal health care professionals, dog and cat lovers who are interested in discovering the best ways of improving the health of their pets. Canine Health Concern has promoted raw feeding and the truth about vaccines since 1994. Its founder, Catherine O'Driscoll, is author of the best-selling book, 'What Vets Don't Tell You About Vaccines'. Through CHC she has promoted complementary healthcare for dogs over the last ten years. This list is no longer a discussion group but you may search the archives for health-related topics. To join Canine Health Concern's discussion group, sign in to this one and we'll direct you to us.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/naturallypet  For people who are interested feeding raw food diet, such as BARF to their pets. The discussions on this list include diets, alternative medicines and more.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalBerners  NaturalBerners is an e-group dedicated to the discussion of natural rearing (raw diets or bones and raw food-type diets). This list is for those berner owners who already feed raw and to those who are interested in learning about raw feeding.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Commercial_Dog_Food_Comparison This list is designed for people who would like to learn more about available commercial dog foods (kibble, canned, granulated, frozen, dehydrated, etc.), compare commercial dog foods, or just share experiences with using them. Everyone is welcome to join no matter what kind of food you feed your dog, but this list will mainly be a forum to compare the commercial dog foods. Acceptable topics, though, would include kibble comparison, supplements, recipe ideas for treats, dog nutrition in general, and more.
 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RawChat This list is an extension of the Raw Feeding email list, where more lengthy and off topic discussion can happen, in particular to issues like vaccination, training, worming, etc. This group has the same moderator team as the foundation raw feeding list, with extensive experience from both show dog people and companion dog owners. We have a relaxed atmosphere, and as before, discourage spammers, advertisers (including those selling any type of dog food), and trolls.
