Raw Food Diet for Dogs

I am constantly being asked..." What do you feed your dogs?

Well, let's talk about the raw food diet for dogs I use at home. If the subject of raw dog food is new to you, I know you will find the information on this page helpful.

I have not always fed a raw food diet for dogs.

I have come full circle. I have done it all.

Yup, I have fed...

    Cooked homemade dog food

    Kibble and canned

    Homemade raw dog food.

    Dehydrated raw dog food

    Commercial premixed frozen raw



What is the Best Raw Dog Food

The answer is, a diet based on foods that dogs are genetically programmed for. Our dogs are carnivores. Scavenging carnivores to be exact.

That means that dogs must get their energy and nutrient requirements from food that consists mainly of animal tissue. As scavengers they will also eat dead animals ( carrion ) and consume some non animal food such as fish, eggs and small amounts of fruit and vegetable matter.

The logic here speaks for itself.

Carnivore Here is a picture of a scavenging carnivore.

Meet Spence.

He is Suzanne Bryan's little carnivore. Suzanne and Spence were guests at our pet friendly Bed & Breakfast Grey Stone Return.

You're laughing now right?

Well, I'm very serious. Although Spence is cute, he is still a carnivore. His dietary needs can be met by feeding a proper raw food for dogs.

I bet you don't think of your sweet little dog as a meat eating, teeth gnashing, snarling carnivore, do you? Well of course he's not, but he is a carnivore nevertheless. He will thrive on this raw food diet for dogs.

Read on to find out more about our raw dog food ingredients and how you can get this nutritious dog food blend for your dog.

    Please note that we do not add fruits and vegetables as we feel that dogs being carnivores, do not really need these extra carbohydrates. However, if you choose to add your own, please feel free.

    Our biologically appropriate raw food diet for dogs is a completely balanced, nutritious, natural food for dogs. As with people, we believe that variety is key. So although unnecessary, it is always a good idea to add other fresh whole foods to your dogs diet from time to time.

    Variety is the ' spice of life '! Here are guidelines on how to add fresh whole foods to your dogs diet.

    For sick dogs, or dogs that are dealing with a chronic health issue, fresh whole foods and some targeted natural supplements for dogs, can and do help, by providing micro nutrients known to aid in the repair and recovery of specific illnesses.

Recommended Resources for Raw Feeding



" All processed pet foods are missing something that seems to be the most important ' nutrient ' of all.

This key ingredient is practically ignored by nutritional scientists, but we can occasionally sense it's presence.

It is a quality found only in freshly grown, uncooked whole food.

Life Energy! "

Dr. Richard Pitcairn
