Feeding Raw Diet

What is a Raw Diet? A Raw Diet is a diet that is not cooked and is freed raw. Feeding your pet a raw diet is healthy for them and you know what is their food and that it does not contain any fillers or chemicals. This is great diet to have if your pet has any kind of health issues.
A raw diet contains only raw meats and veggies. The items are not cooked. You can give your pet raw bones as they will not splinter as with cooked bones. Some owners have worried about feeding Raw because of coli and Samolina poisoning. Every owner should wash their hands with soap and water to get rid of these bacteria’s for these are not safe in humans, but dogs and cats have immune systems to deal with these bacteria’s and are not affected by them.
Here is a list of some items your pet can try:
• Chicken - whole or any parts! (Backs, necks, wings, etc.)
• Turkey - whole or any parts (wings, necks, etc.)
• Cornish game hens (whole)
• Beef (any cuts)
• Oxtail
• Pork (necks, ribs, any cuts)
• Rabbit
• Fish (canned sardines in WATER, not oil, or Jack mackerel)
• Quail
• Buffalo, kangaroo- almost anything you can think of!
You can feed your dog raw bones but do not feed cooked bones as these will splinter and can cause harm to your pet.
Please note that you should change your pet’s diet slowly to make sure that they are not allergic to any of the meats. So for the first few weeks you should only feed one meat a week. So the first week, you would feed chicken, then next week turkey, etc.
You also need to include veggies, yogurt, pumpkin, eggs, etc to complete their diets. Some dogs love fruit and you can include them. Pumpkin Make sure that you are not feeding you pets any items that can be dangerous such as grapes, raisins, and other items that are deadly for your pets.
You should feed about 2%- 4% of your body pet’s body weight. Slowly change their diet, start by adding a little raw food to their current food. Every day add a little more until you completely change their diet to raw. You could also just add a little raw food their current diet. I know a lot of owners that feed their pets both a good quality dry food and also feed them raw food.
Know that changing your pet’s food to raw has several health benefits, that have been proven and also owners have seen in their pets. These includes a shiny coat, healthier looking skin, fresh breath/cleaner teeth, improve digestion, improve allergies, decrease in shedding, and overall healthier appearance and feeling.
