Which looks more appetizing to you? Yeah, your dog feels the same.

In recent years, there has been a growing trend in pet nutrition that goes back to the basics – raw dog food. 

Pet owners are increasingly turning to this ancestral diet, recognizing its numerous benefits for their four-legged companions. 

In this article, we are going to explore the world of raw dog food, its advantages and the essential nutrition requirements it fulfills.

The Raw Advantage:

Closer to Nature: Raw dog food mimics the diet of wild canines, aligning with their evolutionary needs. 

In the wild, dogs would consume raw meat, bones, and organs, providing them with a well-rounded, biologically appropriate diet. We have a special raw dog food box that includes bones and organs. Click here to check it out.

Improved Digestibility: Raw food is often more digestible for dogs compared to heavily processed kibble. 

The natural enzymes in raw meat aid in the breakdown of nutrients, promoting better absorption and utilization by the dog's body.

Healthy Coat and Skin: One of the first things pet owners notice when transitioning to raw dog food is the improvement in their furry friend's coat and skin. 

The essential fatty acids present in raw meat contribute to a glossy coat and reduce skin irritations.

Stronger Immune System: Raw dog food is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that bolster the immune system. 

A robust immune system helps protect dogs from various illnesses and promotes overall well-being.

Optimal Weight Management: Unlike some commercial dog foods that contain fillers and excessive carbohydrates, raw dog food supports healthy weight management. 

The high protein content helps maintain lean muscle mass, while the absence of unnecessary additives prevents unnecessary weight gain.

    Nutrition Requirements:

    1. Protein: Raw dog food is a protein powerhouse, crucial for muscle development, repair, and overall energy. Sources like raw meat, poultry, and fish provide the necessary amino acids that contribute to a dog's overall health.
    2. Calcium and Phosphorus: Raw bones, a staple in raw dog diets, are an excellent source of calcium and phosphorus. These minerals are vital for bone health, dental strength, and proper nerve function.
    3. Fats: Essential fatty acids, found in abundance in raw meats, support skin health, contribute to a shiny coat, and aid in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
    4. Vitamins and Minerals: Raw dog food includes a diverse array of fruits and vegetables, providing essential vitamins and minerals. These nutrients play a crucial role in various bodily functions, including vision, immune health, and cell repair.

    By providing a nutrient-dense and biologically appropriate diet, pet owners can contribute to their dog's overall well-being, from a healthy coat and skin to a robust immune system.
