Raw Feeding
'How do you feed a dog properly? You feed it the diet that it evolved to eat. … Artificial grain based dog foods
can cause innumerable health problems. They are not what your dog was programmed to eat during it's long process of evolution. A biologically appropriate diet for a dog is one that consists of raw
whole foods similar
to those eaten by the dogs’ wild ancestors. The food fed must contain the same balance and type of ingredients as
consumed by those wild ancestors. This food will include such things as muscle meat, bone, fat, organ meat and vegetable materials and any other foods that will mimic what was those wild ancestors
ate.”

Why feed raw ?
People often have the common belief that most commercial pet food is perfectly balanced, nutritious and
healthy.
Most advertising tends to show what people believe to be learned from scientists, but the information is actually just endorsing a
product. Then, slogans reinforce this with clever wording: such as 'organic', 'natural', 'no added preservatives', 'perfectly balanced', 'scientifically proved', 'veterinary approved', or other
fashionable but not necessarily meaningful words.
The Canine body is designed to thrive and survive on a diet consisting of 70% moisture. Dried dog food consists of 12% moisture - so
if your dog is on a dried diet, it may live in a constant state of chronic dehydration, and has to drink so much more, thus increasing the workload and therefore stressing vital organs, you also then
have dried food rehydrating in the stomach, increasing the risk of bloat and torsion.
Feeding your pet the natural way with no additives or preservatives not only gives your pet the best diet possible, but it will also make your pet energetic, happy, and healthy. It can be achieved on a tight budget and in a busy schedule, making it easy for everyone. A BARF diet essentially consists of raw food as they would naturally hunt and eat, rather than the processed, cooked and additive stuffed feeds you find on the supermarket shelf, meaning its full of natural goodness. Feeding your pet raw product mimics their natural diet through hunting and may give your pet a greater chance of a happier, healthier, longer life.
