52 Nursiiig vs. Dosing. 



The dog himself, however, has most em- 

 phatically decided the question about equal- 

 ly in favor of both methods, and until 

 science demonstrates that there is a pos- 

 itive benefit attached to one system that is 

 not found in the other, we may safely con- 

 tinue the use of both as our judgment shall 

 prompt. 



When feeding meat to very young dogs, 

 or to those recovering from illness, it 

 should be scraped or minced very fine, in 

 order that it may digest more quickly than 

 it would were it swallowed in large pieces. 

 The flesh of animals that have died from 

 disease is unfit for food, and should never 

 be given to your dog ; neither should you 

 feed him with meat that is sour, as the fer- 

 mentation that is present when meat is in 

 this condition is very apt to cause disturb- 

 ance of the digestive organs. Tainted 

 meat is not so objectionable as that which is 

 sour, unless it is in a decidedly high condi- 

 tion, in which case it should never be fed.
