Complete natural raw is a food that contains everything a dog needs; balanced and with fresh ingredients that are both pure and natural. Fresh and unheated, without the extremely valuable meat juices being removed. Water can never fully replace meat juices. Natural raw food contains no additives. The basis is fresh meat and offal in the right proportions, always supplemented with the same unlocked grains, seeds and/or vegetables that would be contained in the pre-digested stomach contents of the prey. Otherwise the food could not be of optimum nutritional value. Of course vitamins, minerals and trace elements have to be added in the right proportions, but supplements are not the same as additives.
What makes natural raw food so different from dry food? The table below compares their composition, Raw Cut natural food respects the rules of nature. We don’t add any chemical additives. The meat and offal aren’t heated, so the proteins stay intact. We only use meat and offal from animals that are approved for human consumption. Most importantly, we freeze the raw meat immediately after slaughter and it remains frozen during processing, so optimum quality is preserved. Carbohydrates are provided from unlocked grains, seeds and/or vegetables. We only use fresh, ground bones. From that, your dog will get what they need to maintain the phosphorus/calcium balance. they will either convert the rest into energy or it will be eliminated during excretion.
CAN KIBBLE EVER BE A HEALTHY DIET
The short answer is NO.
The rule of the thumb for most supermarket brands is, this kind of food contains of the three Ds: Dying, Dead and Decay. With other words, whatever in the meat industry does not make out for human consumption ends in your dog’s stomach. A truly said analysis!
If anything of the above-mentioned has any bearing, then kibble can never be a healthy diet for your dog! It might be convenient for some dog owners, and I am consciously avoiding the term caretaker of your dog in this context, commercial pet food will never be a nutritious and healthy choice for your dog!
THE PET FOOD INDUSTRY
Alone in America, the pet food industry is a staggering USD 72 Billion enterprise! It is not further surprising, that beginning with TV ads, over pet food companies, supermarkets right to many veterinarians you are told all the healthy advantages if you just buy their food. Too many want a cut of that multi billion dollar industry. Only your dog pays a higher price. He pays with his health and longevity. The rise of chronic illnesses in dogs underpins this statistic. To make things worse, there is no lobbying in the pet food industry. It is poorly regulated, meaning any brand can claim virtually anything. Meaty does not mean meat. Kibble might consist of the cheapest protein available, usually in some form of soya. Not really a hearty junk of fresh meat.
RAW V.S KIBBLE
Like with the human (animal), if you do not want your dog to be another statistic of poor diet, a raw food regimen should be your only choice. This is the only diet, which supplies your dog with real energy! Food, which is whole, fresh, uncontaminated and unprocessed.
ADVANTAGES OF RAW FOOD DIET
Not just is this diet natural to the dog's dietetic needs; it helps the body fend off ageing, improve cell oxygenation, metabolism and renewal, helps fight off diseases, and above all it is easily digested. Because this type of food is highly metabolised, there is up to 1/5 less waste with no unpleasant odour.
