Raw Food Benefits
|
Feeding pets a raw, species-appropriate diet offers numerous benefits. Here’s what you can expect:
Improved Mobility
Raw food can enhance movement, particularly for older or overweight pets. Unlike commercial foods, which can be inflammatory, raw food is less likely to aggravate joint issues. Adding Omega 3 from phytoplankton further helps reduce inflammation. Maintaining a healthy weight also lessens joint strain, promoting better mobility.
Balanced Hydration
Raw food, with its 75% moisture content, provides essential vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes, reducing the need for extra water intake. This moisture supports kidney function and helps minimize the toxins the kidneys must filter.Enhanced Dental Health
Commercial pet foods can create an acidic environment in the mouth that fosters plaque and bacteria. A raw diet promotes a more alkaline environment, slowing plaque buildup. Regularly feeding appropriately sized raw bones can also help clean teeth mechanically. If your pet doesn’t chew bones, you'll need to brush their teeth with a safe, natural product.Relief from Dry Eye
The hydration and anti-inflammatory properties of raw food can help alleviate dry eye syndrome and other related conditions.Weight and Diabetes Management
Raw food is low in carbohydrates, which helps prevent weight gain and manage diabetes. Pets on a raw diet tend to lose excess weight and stabilize blood sugar levels, potentially even reversing diabetes in some cases.Reduction in Allergies and Digestive Issues
Raw diets can alleviate food allergies related to grains or specific proteins and improve symptoms of environmental allergies. For cats, removing grains can often address IBS and digestive issues. Probiotics are also beneficial for pets with digestive problems.Fewer Behavioral Issues
High sugar and carbohydrate content in commercial food can lead to behavioral problems like hyperactivity or lack of focus. A raw diet, free from excess sugars, can lead to more stable behavior and improved concentration.Cancer and Epilepsy Management
Research suggests that cancer cells thrive on carbohydrates, so a raw, high-fat, high-protein diet can be beneficial for pets with cancer. Similarly, a ketogenic diet may help manage epilepsy, but should be tailored with veterinary guidance.Added Benefits
- Cleaner Waste: Raw food’s high absorption rate results in smaller, firmer, and less odorous stools.
- Healthier Skin and Coat: Raw diets support a shiny coat and healthy skin due to high-quality fats and Omega 3 from phytoplankton.
- Better Digestion and Reproduction: High-quality protein and fats promote strong digestive and reproductive health. Puppies should be fed appropriately to support healthy bone growth.
- Enhanced Parasite Resistance: Improved gut health can lead to better resistance to parasites.
- Fresher Breath: Probiotics with raw food can help maintain fresh breath.
- Longer Lifespan: Pets fed a raw diet may live up to four years longer than those on commercial diets.
- Reduced Veterinary Costs: Fewer health issues can lead to lower vet bills and fewer medical interventions.
