Raw food diets for dogs and cats are becoming increasingly popular. Many people choose to feed a raw food diet because it is more natural and less processed than most dog and cat diets. There are many health benefits to feeding raw food to dogs and cats, including:

Outstanding bone 

There is no better way to support bones than bones when feeding raw food to dogs and cats. Crushed bones are a natural source of calcium, phosphorus, glucosamine, chondroitin, collagen and marrow. All of these ingredients help your dog and cat grow healthy and maintain excellent bone and joint health for your dog and cat throughout their lives.

Strengthen the immune system

The immune system is the first line of defense against infection. Providing complete and balanced nutrition is essential to help your dog's immune system thrive, and nutrition in all-natural ingredients has the added benefit of being easily digestible for your dog or cat. Some examples of natural immune boosting ingredients when feeding raw food to dogs and cats may include:

Meat – A basic component of a dog's cat's diet and raw muscle meat provides high-quality and easily digestible protein - the foundation of good health and immunity. In addition, a wide range of essential fats, vitamins and minerals can be found in raw meat protein, which, unlike highly processed meat product sources, is not reduced during cooking. Providing your dog with a variety of fresh meat proteins also ensures they have access to a wide variety of micronutrients, which are beneficial for their overall health.

Fruits and vegetables – Many fruits and vegetables contain a complete and naturally balanced package of vitamins and minerals. In addition, raw fruits and vegetables that have not been damaged by cooking are still packed with antioxidants, phytonutrients and enzymes, all of which are beneficial to the health of our pets. For example, citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C, carrots are a good source of vitamin A, and green leafy vegetables contain high amounts of vitamin K.

Skin is improved and coat is softer, shinier

The raw food diet is packed with ingredients that support skin and coat health, one of the most notable and well-researched are omega-3 fatty acids. Healthy omega fats play an important role in supporting healthy skin and soft coat as well as providing anti-inflammatory benefits, perfect for dogs with allergies or dermatitis.

Exceptional oral health

In some cases, poor oral hygiene can be attributed to a poor diet, especially foods that are highly processed or high in carbohydrates. Backbone, lots of meat is well known as our puppy's natural toothbrush, helping to get into difficult places between their teeth and aiding in plaque removal.

Reduce stool volume and odor

When cats and dogs consume foods that are high in fillers, additives and preservatives, it can lead to some unpleasant 'dog smell'. Because of the benefits to the dog's skin and coat, the skin will produce less odorous oil. Your pet's digestive system is also better supported when feeding raw food to cats and dogs, which often reduces or eliminates bloating for dogs.
