Raw Feed? Are You Joking?
Summary
Have you ever wondered if our pets were meant to eat processed kibble or pellets? In the wild, dogs don’t head to a store for lunch. Instead, they hunt, and their diet is raw and natural. It's time to rethink what we feed our pets.The Case for Raw Feeding
Nature designed our animals to thrive on raw diets, not pre-packaged foods. Wild animals eat freshly caught prey, which provides essential nutrients for their carnivorous needs. Our domesticated pets, like dogs and cats, are still fundamentally carnivores. They require raw meat and bones for a strong immune system and dental health. Raw, non-weight-bearing bones help maintain clean, strong teeth, reducing the need for costly dental procedures under anesthesia.
Other pets, such as horses, guinea pigs, birds, and rabbits, also benefit from natural diets. While birds are often omnivorous, enjoying fruits, veggies, and meat, other small pets thrive on fresh fruits and vegetables.
Expert Insights
Kim Christopher emphasizes that a proper diet is crucial for maintaining pet health and managing diseases. Understanding the nutrients and their availability is key.
Dr. Russell Swift adds that carbohydrates are unnecessary for dogs and cats, as their bodies aren't designed to digest these efficiently. Over time, this can weaken their immune systems.
What’s Really in Commercial Pet Food?
Most commercial pet foods contain grains, byproducts, and preservatives. These ingredients are cheaper but not ideal for your pet's health. Byproducts can include parts like beaks, feathers, and even euthanized animals.
According to Dr. Betty Lewis, commercial foods are inappropriate because they’re cooked, destroying vital enzymes and nutrients. Often, these nutrients are artificially added back by spraying them onto the food. To learn more, Ann Martin’s book Foods Pets Die For offers detailed insights.
Taking Steps Towards a Healthier Diet
Transitioning your pet to a raw food diet can feel overwhelming. To start, consult a holistic veterinarian to create a diet plan tailored to your pet's needs. Holistic vets focus on natural lifestyles and can guide you in providing complete nutritional support.
Poor nutrition and food allergies are linked to many pet health issues, such as allergies, cancer, diabetes, and more. A compromised immune system invites diseases, but a natural, raw diet can revitalize your pet's health.
Conclusion
For a healthier, longer life for your pets?"and to reduce vet bills?"consider switching to a natural, raw food diet. Your pets will thank you with their vitality and well-being.
