Why should I feed my dog raw food?
Generations before processed, artificial food became a mass-produced option for consumption, canines of ancient history would only consume raw, natural meat, by default. This meat in its untampered and unprocessed state, was undeniably the purest form for nutrient consumption. The raw food here was undoubtedly in its best element in supplying all essential, optimal nutrition for dogs. The correlation of the integral importance of the gut from humans to dogs, cannot be underscored enough; a healthy gut indisputably restores a healthy immune system, grants freedom from risk of obesity, manifests better skin, fur, cognition and overall condition of life.
This all starts with a highly effective raw diet, and the correspondence of a healthy gut in physiology is vital. We want to reiterate & stress the urgency of raw meat consumption for all dogs because it is biologically appropriate. With a raw diet, your furry best friend will retain all the necessary vitamins and nutrients without the excess starch and carbohydrates. Raw dog food diets also have been shown to improve energy levels while also promoting healthier skin, shinier coats, and cleaner teeth!
How do you know how much food and what kind my dog needs?
We calculate this for your pup using scientific studies around Species Appropriate Nutrition and the B.A.R.F (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) Model. We know dogs need to eat 2-3% of their overall body weight. We also know that they need to eat 80% meat and bone, 10% organ, and 10% complex carbohydrates. Putting those together, we will be able to discover a fitting portion and recipe for your dog!
