BENEFITS OF RAW FEEDING
Raw feeding a dog is pretty much the most natural and instinctive way dogs enjoy food, as it is very tasty, has a high-water content and contains no processed ingredients. Dogs are omnivores; therefore, the most important part of their diet is meat and all its components; muscle, fatty tissue, bones, and organs.Raw food has living enzymes, antioxidants, amino acids & Phyto-chemicals, that can positively change your dog’s current digestive routine. Raw foods contain high levels of proteins, vitamins, and minerals.
HEALTHY TEETH & GUMS
Dental decease in pets is a major concern, however raw feeding keeps teeth white & free of tartar, odorless breath & reduced dental disease. Raw carrots are a great treat and keep teeth clean. Meaty bones are great for removing tartar and keeping the gums and teeth healthy also. For small dogs soft meaty bones are best, and make sure you only feed raw bones.
NO COOKED BONES!
SKIN & COAT CONDITION
Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are crucial for maintaining a pet's skin and coat health. These essential fats help to reduce inflammation, improve skin hydration, and promote a shiny, smooth coat. They also help combat conditions like dry, flaky skin, and reduce itching—common signs of allergies or infections. When combined with high-quality protein, these fatty acids can work wonders for your pet's overall health, making their fur strong, glossy, and less prone to breakage or brittleness.
Protein is the building block for fur and skin health, so if your pet isn't getting enough protein or it's of poor quality, it can lead to weakened, dull, or damaged fur. High-quality protein, like chicken, beef, or fish, can really make a difference in ensuring your pet’s fur stays healthy and vibrant. Some pet owners even turn to fish oils or specific Omega-3 supplements to give their pet's coat that extra boost.
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM FUNCTION
Raw meats contain natural enzymes that can aid in digestion, making it easier for pets to break down their food compared to cooked diets. Cooking pet food often denatures protein molecules, which may reduce their bioavailability and slow the digestive process. Additionally, raw meats can contain beneficial probiotics-good bacteria that help combat harmful microbes, support gut health, improve brain function, and aid in preventing infections. Raw feeding also provides natural moisture, which supports hydration, aids digestion, and promotes healthy liver and kidney function. For these reasons, many advocates consider raw feeding an effective way to support overall pet health.
