The Raw Dog Diet

You may have heard of the "Raw Dog Diet" but not be clear on what it is. This short article will try to introduce you to a few concepts behind this diet that is becoming more popular by the day. The interest from dog owners in alternative foods for their dogs are a result of learning about what is in commercial dog foods. Many of the ingredients are suspect when they come from slaughter houses that kill animals that could have potentially harmful diseases or drugs. As with humans dogs are what they eat. Taking an interest in your dogs diet you can prevent him from being part of the epidemic of unhealthy dogs being seen by vets everywhere.

This diet consisting of raw ingredients attempts to duplicate what dogs eat in the wild. It is a balance of meat, vegetables, fruits and grains that can be prepared fresh by the dog owner daily. Once the ingredients are assembled the time involved is only 5-10 minutes per day. This natural diet supports your dogs immune system that will allow his health to be optimum and he will feel his best. While here we are talking about diet, don't forget the importance of excersize. With adequate exersize and a good natural diet your dog will be both healthy and happy.

When preparing the dog's diet, feed the dog about the same amount of the raw dog diet as you would kibble. This is a good starting point. From here, you can adjust the diet as necessary to meet your dog's specific needs. Each day prepare a bowl of 50% raw ground turkey with some wet oats. Juice some vegetables such as carrots and swiss chard and add the juice to the mix.
