Why a Raw Diet?We all want to give our pets the best possible care. We want them to live long, happy and healthy lives. Unfortunately, we are losing them in ever-increasing numbers, at younger ages to cancer, heart, kidney and liver failure. Even diabetes is becoming common in our pets. Orthopedic problems are at an all-time high. Allergies, dental problems and urinary tract disorders are but a few of the miseries that plague our pets.Why are these health problems becoming so common place? Consider this. The processed commercial pet food industry (dry kibble) has existed for approximately 60 years. Veterinary Schools receive large amounts of money and support from the commercial pet food industry. Most of the veterinarians recommend you feed dry kibble to your pets, day after day, every day of your pet's life. No variety, no fresh food. It's time for pet owners to take back the responsibility of our pet's nutrition, health and longevity.What did dogs and cats eat before we had this dry kibble? Nature designed dogs and cats to be carnivores, eaters of other animals. Their systems were designed to get maximum nutritional benefits from raw foods, including muscle meat, bones, organs and stomach contents. The high temperatures necessary to cook dry kibble dog food kill the live essential enzymes and amino acids. These high temperatures also destroy much of the nutritional value of vitamins and minerals.By feeding your pets as nature intended, they are able to fully utilize the vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids found only in raw meat and vegetables. The result will be stronger immune systems, less allergies, beautiful coats and healthy skin. Stronger bones, cleaner teeth and fewer orthopedic problems. Longer, healthier lives and lower vet bills.
