Best In NutritionDiet is the building block of health.
If we agree that proper nutrition is as important for our animals, as it is for ourselves, and that access to fresh sources of nutrients is vital, then why are we feeding them cooked, processed, dried, chemical and preservative laced commercial products?
We feed whole raw foods instead.
The RAW Food Diet is simply taking all the necessary elements in a good canine diet, feeding them from reliable, quality sources and controlling what is fed.
Natural raw dog food manufacturing companies are available across North America - some with delivery to your door. These companies provide fresh meat with bone ground-in products that can be frozen and served - to make your quest for the right food easier.
Some owners/breeders choose to find their own sources (ie; local butcher, area farms and ranches) for their food and/or use the local grocery store to supplement. It is possible to make feeding raw as easy to manage or time consuming as you want. Many people grind their own fruit/veggies to add to the diet.
The diet is roughly based upon a 80% raw meat/bones (any kind of clean sourced protein: fish, bison, beef, turkey, lamb etc.), 20% fruit/veggies (must be pureed to allow for proper digestion of nutrients), with added organ meat, eggs and maybe a few supplements. It is balanced over the course of a two week period, rather than on a daily basis.
A great thing about this type of feeding is that you can fine tune and change the diet to meet the individual needs of each pet. Older dogs might do better on a diet that has a 50%-50% meat to veggie ratio. If your dog has food allergies (and these are common now) you can work the diet around these concerns. And IT IS EASY!
