Raw Food Diet or Not?
November 10, 2012 by admin
Many dog owners are trying out the new fad diet for their pooches – the Raw Food diet consisting of raw meat(bone-in),muscle , organs of animals like chicken or cow. This can also include fruits and vegetables. Controversy has been stirring as to whether this diet is good for our dogs or does it have possible health concerns. Ideally, this was the type of diet that dogs before domestication ate; food in wholesome, fresh, natural form. Nowadays, the same nutrient are packed into dry kibble.
People in favour of giving their dogs this diet claims positive results such as healthier coats (shiny and full), more energy, smaller stools and cleaner teeth.
Some cons to this diet, is that while it does have benefits it does come at a higher cost. There are also concerns of bacteria transferred from dog to human ( i.e by licking owner or counters).
To try this diet and do so in a sustainable way, places like The Honest Butcher (Broadway and Trutch), features local and grown ethically meat products perfect for your dog.
