Why raw food?
Quite simply nature did not intend for dogs to eat cooked food, their ancestors hunted and killed their food. Nature's balanced and nutritious diet was delivered by eating the entire carcass consisting of:
The skin, meat and organs, bones and stomach content
Cooking dog food renders it biologically inappropriate as:
-
It loses much of its nutritional value
-
Loses enzymes and biologically active essential fatty acid which when damaged by heat and oxygen, slowly poison the system, doing irreparable damage
-
Cooking also produces carcinogens and anti-immunogens
-
Many minerals, essential amino acids and vitamins become indigestible
Raw Food Benefits
- Alleviates skin conditions
- Stabilizes weight
- Increases mobility in arthritic dogs
- Reduces tarter build-up and improves breath
- Significantly reduces stool volume and odour
- An all-round strengthened immune system
- More environmentally friendly than other dog foods as there is no cooking process
