RAW FOOD
Benefits
Benefits of raw food include:
- Bioavailability of Raw Ingredients
- Less Waste
- Dental Health Benefits
- Skin and Coat Health
Raw diets retain all of the nutrition from each ingredient, in forms that a pet’s body can properly utilize. Synthetic vitamins and minerals added to cooked diets, are often less available or aren’t digested as efficiently as those coming from natural, unprocessed food sources.
With a raw diet, very little is wasted during digestion, so everything that is excreted is broken down into a completely biodegradable form, creating less mess and less odor.
Enzymes in raw meat provide superior dental benefits compared to the abrasion from chewing kibble.
Raw, unprocessed ingredients contain higher, unaltered sources of omega fatty and amino acids than processed and cooked ingredients will. These essential nutrients are vital to maintaining your dog's healthy skin and soft, shiny coat, as well as a variety of your dog’s other internal systems.
Raw feeders typically see improvement within weeks of switching to a raw diet, including reduced shedding and less dander.
