Why Feed Raw?

 

  • Dogs are physiologically designed to eat raw food. It improves digestion, nutrient availability and absorption. Raw feeding promotes a steady metabolism supporting normal function of the digestive system, ensuring your dog thrives on the inside and out.


  • Dogs metabolize energy from animal fats rather than carbohydrates. Too many carbohydrates in their diet spikes their energy levels and within a short time they feel tired. On a raw diet you control the amount of starchy carbohydrates fed.


  • Helps maintain a healthy weight with quality proteins and fats, which are essential for a shiny, lustrous coat and nourished skin. 


  • Raw meat contains enzymes that break down tartar and prevent plaque buildup. Organic kelp powder in their diet may also help prevent tartar build-up for cleaner teeth, healthy gums and better breath. Processed starches and fats cause tartar and plaque build-up. Raw meaty bones are nature’s toothbrush.


  • Raw feeding supports a steady metabolism, allowing the digestive system to function naturally and efficiently. This ensures food is absorbed properly promoting a healthy weight and a leaner, toned physique.


  • Raw food contains natural amino acids, prebiotics and probiotics, vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, enzymes, and antioxidants to name a few. Nutrients derived from natural wholefoods are more potent and digestible than synthetic alternatives. 


  • Maintains a strong healthy immune system. Approximately 70-80% of the immune system is based on gut health. A balanced raw diet provides a highly acidic environment protecting your dog from harmful pathogens and bacteria and facilitates better digestion of meat and bones.


  • Raw foods mean firmer, dryer, smaller stools and reduced severity of flatulence.


  • The internal anatomy of dogs, including the entire digestive system, is fundamentally the same in wild dogs and modern domestic dogs.
