Why Feed Raw?
Dogs are facultative carnivores
In order for dogs to thrive, they require a meat based diet. Dogs are facultative carnivores – while they can eat a plant based diet, their teeth, jaws and digestive system are designed for eating meat. Their teeth and jaws are perfectly evolved for ripping and tearing at chunks of meat and crushing bones.
Some dog foods contain just 4% meat
The principle ingredient in mass produced kibble is grain – cheap and plentiful but of no nutritional benefit to your pet. Some dog foods contain just 4% meat and is bulked out by cheap fillers such as rice. Your dog’s digestive system struggles to deal with the grain, preservatives and additives in commercial diets and this may cause health issues.
Improve Your Pet's Digestion
If you have a dog with a tendency to have an upset tum, feeding a raw diet with none of the added nasties may mean you see a huge improvement in your pet’s digestion. A species appropriate diet contains only 100% natural ingredients – just meat, bone and offal! Some popular brands add beneficial fruits, vegetables and herbs to their recipes as well for added goodness.
