There are lots of great reasons for choosing a raw food diet here are some potential health advantages associated with it. Firstly, it may lead to a reduction in general allergy symptoms. Additionally, maintaining a raw diet can contribute to cleaner teeth and fresher breath, as well as better weight control through enhanced digestion. The inclusion of natural oils in the diet may result in improved skin and coat health.

Furthermore, a raw diet could lead to the production of smaller and fewer stools, promoting a more natural gut absorption process and ultimately strengthening the immune system. The digestion of natural vitamin K may support superior liver function. Moreover, it can contribute to improved pancreatic and bowel health, fostering an overall increase in energy and stamina levels. This boost in vitality is particularly beneficial for older animals, promoting greater mobility and potentially reducing the need for frequent veterinary visits, thereby saving money and ensuring a happier dog.

Transitioning your pet to a raw food diet is straightforward. Our advice to new starters is to skip a meal of their current food and begin with raw the next day. Start with proteins like chicken, tripe, or turkey, gradually introducing a new protein every 5-7 days. It's best to proceed gradually and limit variety initially. The diet should include red meat, white meat, fish, bones, and offal, balanced over a two-week period. With a diverse diet, your pet will receive all necessary nutrients. We strongly advise against mixing raw with dry kibble, as this can lead to digestive issues due to different digestion rates. If your dog hesitates with the new raw food initially, remain calm. Allow them 10 minutes to eat, and if they don't, remove the meal, refrigerate it, and offer it again about 4 hours later. This process can be repeated several times a day.

Including a diverse range of proteins, textures, and blends is crucial when implementing a raw food diet. Similar to humans, dogs benefit from and appreciate dietary variety, which can help prevent boredom and potential intolerances. Additionally, various proteins offer distinct nutritional advantages, so it's essential to gradually introduce new ingredients in small amounts over time.

Prepared supplements composed of human-grade vegetables, herbs, and natural probiotics offer a nutritional enhancement rich in natural carbohydrates, fiber, and antioxidants. From your kitchen supplies, you might consider including organic eggs (with shell intact or washed supermarket eggs), as well as parboiled or pureed vegetables such as carrots, sweet potatoes, broccoli, or spinach. Additionally, fruits like blueberries, cranberries, and apples can be incorporated into your dog's diet.

Feeding dogs raw bones is perfectly safe. Raw chicken bones, being soft, break easily for dogs to digest. Dogs have been consuming bones for millennia without issue; if they posed a threat, they wouldn't have survived. Raw bones offer excellent nutrition and are easily digested. Avoid feeding cooked bones.

Tripe refers to the unprocessed contents and lining found in the stomach of ruminating animals, known for its distinct odour. Its scent, texture, and hue can vary with seasonal changes due to dietary factors. When tripe is green, it indicates its natural, unaltered state without any processing, washing, or bleaching. Compared to ox or beef tripe, lamb and goat varieties typically have lower fat content.

Considered a nutritious organ meat, tripe is hailed as a superfood for dogs due to its abundance of natural probiotics and gastric juices, which aid in digestion and nutrient absorption. Additionally, tripe supports canine immune health, fosters muscle development, and promotes a healthy skin and coat.
