Raw Diet - 2

As I promised in the last post here are a few specifics about the raw natural diet for your dog. Please come back in a few days for more about dogs.

In the last post we started with some general information about a natural diet for your dog. This post continues that information with a few more details on specific ingredients.

Juicing the vegetables helps to digest the enzymes for your pet. This is similar to the wolf consuming the contents from a stomach. Your dog's diet will need a variety of different vegetables daily to maximize the potential for best vitamins and nutrients.

Carrots should always be the base and alter other veggies daily. The carrots will regularly supply potassium, calcium, vitamin A, B, C, D, and E. Greens offer vitamin A, C, and chlorophyll. Apples are good for vitamin C.

Certain veggies have healing properties. Kale, for instance, helps to remedy digestive disorders. Watercress and mustard greens help to cleanse the intestines. Parsley helps the metabolism and thyroid. Celery has numerous advantages. It helps with chemical imbalances, blood flow, and is a natural diuretic. Beets are good for the blood. They offer copper and manganese.

Some foods to avoid include broccoli, cabbage, and turnips. These create intestinal gas. Cucumbers, onions, and potatoes do not digest well in a dog's diet.

Flaxseed is a great addition to the raw diet to encourage healthy joints and coat. The omega 6 and 3 fatty acids help with such conditions.

The raw diet for your dog can combat several health issues. The natural diet allows your dog to eat what nature intended. You know what foods are in your dog's diet. The raw diet is high in quality and healthy for your pet.

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.

More specifics of what to include in this diet in my next post. In the meantime if you are wanting more health related information for your dog I reccommend taking a look at this:
