Health Begins With Raw Dog Food

Like people, dogs need food to nourish their bodies. Dogs are scavenging carnivores. Over the eons wild dogs have eaten the whole prey, carcasses and remains of other animals.

This is the canine ancestral diet. Nothing has changed no matter what you've been told. Dogs are designed to eat the correct evolutionary diet for their species ( Canidae ). This means the meat, bones, organs and glands of prey animals. Along with smaller amounts of fish, eggs, fruits and other vegetation.

Dogs evolved from wolves over 14,000 years ago. They are a very successful species.

Dogs have adapted well to the ways of humans.

The discarded waste of humans has supplied a source of food for dogs. They have thrived.

The fittest dogs, the healthiest dogs were the ones that ate the best food. Structurally our domestic dogs today are somewhat different than wolves. Your little Pomeranian looks quite different than his coyote cousin, but inside his body, his digestive system remains almost the same. He has evolved and is built to utilize his ancestral diet.

Raw food for dogs is life enhancing food. Dogs still need ' live foods ' that truly nourish them. Only a raw food diet will provide this. A correct raw diet is close to the original, natural raw food diet consumed by wild dogs.

All of the proteins, enzymes, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids are intact. These nutrients have not been destroyed by cooking.

Dogs have been eating their natural diet for over 14,000 years, wolves and wild dogs for at least 5,000,000 years.

It is important to note, that dogs have been eating dry dog foods for less than 100 years.

Hello...how does that make us experts at what dogs should eat?

There may also be some disadvantages to consider.

• some meat contains lead, mercury, dioxin ( a toxic chemical byproduct ) along with residues of pesticide use, hormones and antibiotics. However, this is a problem for humans too. Don't forget that we eat this food as well.
• some premixed raw diets made from excellent fresh, organic ingredients, may cost slightly more.

In my opinion the advantages out weight the disadvantages.

Turner is a Healthy Raw Fed Dog

Turner came with his people family and they all stayed with us at our pet friendly B&B GreyStone Return. Right off the bat, I was impressed with Turner and how healthy he looked. He was full of life and looked gorgeous. I was told that he was fed a raw diet.

Turner's organic raw dog food, no grain diet consists of either, lamb or venison, and sometimes chicken. The only treats Turner gets are raw veggies occasionally and some fruit. He never eats anything which has been processed.

Incidentally, Turner does not get vaccinated, and anything that goes on Turner's body is made of organic ingredients only. He is bathed in an all natural organic shampoo. The result is an extraordinarily healthy dog.
