Natural Raw Diet for Dogs - facts about dog food
Updated: Dec 9, 2019
FACT
During the last 20 years our companion animals' health has been deteriorating. 90% of disease in animals is linked to poor nutrition. We are seeing more immune system disorders, genetic disorders and deadly chronic diseases than ever before.
FACT
An animal's diet is designed to support the body's immune system.
So why the decline in our pets' health ?
Could their diet be lacking essential nutrients ?
What exactly is commercial pet food made from ?
The list of ingredients can be deceiving ! Here is a brief glimpse.
FACT
Many of the commercial dog food companies would have us believe that they actually use human grade meat in the production of their food, when in fact the sources of this "meat" are not even fit for animal consumption. In some areas of North America this list can also include euthanized companion animals from clinics and shelters, roadkill, zoo animals, livestock which die from disease or disability. The "meat" is purchased from a rendering plant which also receives material from slaughterhouses such as hair, feathers, hooves and any part of the mammal which is condemned for human consumtion. This list includes tumorous growths, contaminated blood and any carcass containing high levels of drugs or pesticides. This material is then cooked. Grease rises to the top and is removed. This is the source of animal fat in most foods. The moisture is then removed from the mixture and it is now "meat and bone meal".
Simply put...the list of ingredients found in most of today's dog foods are lacking the necessary "live" nutrients which are required to restore or maintain good health.
What is a Natural Raw Diet ?
The Natural Raw Diet is based on a canine's nutritional requirements. A wolf in the wild would eat the stomach contents of his kill first, providing him with enzymes, grains and vegetables. He would then proceed to eat the meat as well as some of the bones, providing him with protein and calcium. What a natural, raw diet does is "feed" the immune system with FRESH, RAW, WHOLE foods. This provides the body with all the necessary ingredients for optimum performance. The diet takes very little time to prepare and is fed once a day. It consists of a mixture of raw, juiced veggies, raw ground turkey and softened oats. There is no substitute for preparing a fresh, raw diet daily for your dog. Frozen, prepared diets, natural or not will not contain the same vitamins and healing properties that the freshly juiced veggies will. A natural nutrition program for your animal can benefit many situations such as skin and coat disorders, arthritis, allergies, weight problems, immune deficiencies and so much more.
"Once your animal is eating the way Mother Nature intended you will see all the difference in the world."
