Why Go Raw?

Sadly, dogs aren’t living as long as they used to. In the UK, diabetes in dogs is up 900% over the last few years. In the US, obesity in pets has risen by 60%. The worst part is cancer – one in two dogs is diagnosed with it.

It turns out, while 10% of cancer cases are genetic, 90% are due to lifestyle and environmental factors. Diet is a huge part of this, and improving it can make a big difference.

Sure, kibble can be cheap, but it often doesn’t give your dog all the nutrients they need. It’s super important to know how your dog’s food affects their energy, sensitivities, and overall health.

Let’s look into why I’m such a fan of raw diets and some of the science behind them.

Benefits of Raw Feeding

We know that good health starts with good food. Just like you feel better eating fresh meals instead of processed ones, the same goes for our dogs. Here’s why so many dog owners are choosing raw diets and what you can expect:

Healthier Dogs

We all want the best for our pups. A balanced raw diet can keep them healthy and full of life. Here are some amazing benefits you might notice:

Cleaner Teeth and Fresher Breath: Raw diets naturally help keep your dog’s teeth clean and their breath fresh.
Leaner, Muscular Body: Balanced nutrition helps maintain a healthy weight and build strong muscles.
Healthier Ears: Say goodbye to frequent ear infections and irritations.
Stable Energy Levels: Your dog will have more consistent and calm energy throughout the day. Think what happens when you feed a child lots of sweets..!
Shiny Coats and Bright Eyes: Raw diets give them healthy skin and a glossy coat.

Better Nutrition

Feeding raw is the most natural way to nourish your dog. Dogs are meant to eat like scavenging carnivores and need the right nutrients to thrive. Most kibble meets basic nutritional standards but often includes synthetic and highly processed ingredients. Raw dog food gives your dog the essential nutrients in their natural form, ensuring they get the proteins, vitamins, minerals, fats, and hydration they need.

Managing Health Issues

Raw feeding can help with health problems like obesity and food allergies. Improving your dog’s nutrition can ease symptoms and boost overall well-being.

Any Raw is Beneficial

Every dog deserves a diet that suits their natural needs. While a fully raw diet is best, it can be pricey, especially if you have more than one dog. But even adding a little raw food into your dog’s diet can make a big difference. Here’s how to start:

Mix with Current Food: Add raw food to their existing meals.
Meal Toppers: Sprinkle raw food on top of their regular food.
Treats: Use small pieces of raw food as treats.
