Why Raw? Because it’s rewarding to facilitate better health in your dog(s) and it’s simple!

Many of us humans have difficulty resisting nasty temptations such as sugar, coffee, and processed foods; however, we can more easily control what our animals eat. Humans and animals are designed for health. How we fuel ourselves can be a factor in either enabling or disabling health.

THE PHYSIOLOGY OF RAW

Despite domestication, all dogs, from Great Danes to Yorkshire Terriers, remain capable of eating raw meat, bones and organs. Like their wolf ancestors, dogs have highly acidic stomachs and short intestinal tracks, designed cope with and process raw meat quickly. They also have sharp teeth for tearing flesh and they lack the enzyme amylase in their saliva, which is designed to pre-digest starch. Grain-based (starch-based) diets are popular for economic reasons, and they can sustain our dogs; however, they may not be the best thing for our dogs. An important consideration when it comes to choosing the best food for your pooch!

Our dogs are at our mercy when it comes to the food WE chose for them. When we cook food we kill the live enzymes, lose a large percentage of the nutrients and force our dog’s pancreas to work harder than it should during the digestive process.

THE BENEFITS OF RAW

The benefits of feeding a raw diet including 75% raw meat, bone and a bit of organ and 25% pulverized vegetable matter are numerous: improved organ function, better breath, healthy shiny skin and coats, clean teeth, clear eyes, smaller less smelly stool, no bad gas and a reduction, and in some cases elimination, of many ailments plaguing our innocent dogs these days such as allergies, arthritis, weight problems and hyper activity. The proof is in the dogs.
