For years we’ve tried to feed our dogs just like we’ve fed ourselves,
but now that we know better, the focus for animals and people alike is
increasingly redirected to eating more raw food. Nutritionists believe that feeding processed foods to a dog may result
in poor health, and that a raw food diet that is more closely related
to what dogs have evolved on is much better.
You can choose from among many premium grade lines and enjoy the
benefits of not only having all of the nutritional calculations worked
out as to ensure that your dog gets what he needs, but also of avoiding
any messy preparation for yourself. So what are the choices that are
available to your pet? In addition to being beneficial to their health,
it will also be a real treat for your pet.
Nature’s Variety Raw Food Diets have their customers raving, with some
calling it a miracle food. They believe it has cured illnesses and
chronic conditions in their pets.
High in meat protein, with 5% organic sprouts, fruits and vegetables
and using ingredients as diverse as quails and pheasant eggs,
blueberries, heart and squash, Nature’s Variety is available in patties
and smaller medallions for appropriate portion sizes.
With grades ranging from organic to free-range and chemical free, bones
and meat products for snacks are more and more easy to find. You can
also purchase poultry neck products from Natures Variety, Primal
Petfoods and Raw Advantage.
FarMore Raw Frozen Buffalo Bones are just the thing for those energetic
chewers. Bones from non-medicated, free-range animals provide marrow
and essential nutrients. If you are looking for all natural food try
raw beef bones from Primal Pet Foods and Raw Advantage.
With its vast array of available foods, Raw Advantage would seem to be
leading the pack in the raw foods race. While its Organic Dinner for
Dogs is made from less exotic ingredients than some of its competitors,
it does include a premium line of free-range, organic, hormone and
pesticide-free food, including kelp and garlic, thus making it a
natural body cleanser.
Raw Advantage Organic Only Meat goes a step further in including the
freshest chemical free meat, organs and offal. If grain will work,
consider the organic products made by Raw Advantage Organic Rock Island
Raw, which mix meat with millet and oats.
Primal Pet Foods use 100% human grade organic and chemical free
ingredients to imitate diets of the wild. Primal is not only enriched
with excellent sources of anti-oxidants and minerals like coconut oil,
kelp and cranberries, but its meat is guaranteed to have been fed an
all natural vegetarian diet.
Natures Logic is a less expensive option, offering a product that is
over 90% meat/poultry, grain and gluten free but with ground eggshells
added as to provide an additional source of calcium.
Northwest Naturals offers dinner nuggets or portioned bars available in
beef, chicken, turkey, and salmon or bison flavors. Extra minerals,
vitamin-rich ingredients and protein makes its formulas ideal.
For those who like more control over their dog’s diet, Bravo Raw Food
Diets provide convenient pre-made blends of high grade hormone free
food which can provide a good base into which to add other supplements.
