Raw Dog Food: Discover Its Gift In Brilliant Health Results

by Rebecca Foxton

In the last few decades, people have been attempting to feed human-style food to dogs. More recently however, the wisdom is for animals (and humans) to rely more on raw foods for optimal health.

Many people now realize that processed foods are in fact most likely responsible for poor health in your animal, and that raw food diets more closely imitate a dog’s natural diet.

There are many premium grade lines available; the benefits are two-fold - no messy preparation for the owner and the security that all the nutritional formulas have been worked out, meaning your dog is getting what he needs. So what’s on the menu? Your pet is in for a treat and also a potential health boost.

Nature’s Variety Raw Food Diets have their customers raving, with some calling it a miracle food. They believe it has cured illnesses and chronic conditions in their pets.

Natures Variety comes in both patties and smaller medallions so that you can choose the appropriate portion size. It is high in meat protein and contains 5% organic sprouts, fruits and vegetables while including such ingredients as quail and pheasant eggs, blueberries, heart and squash.

Becoming more prevalent are bone and meat product snacks which are available ranging from organic to free-range to chemical free. Natures Variety, Primal Petfoods and Raw Advantage each offer poultry neck products as well.

FarMore Raw Frozen Buffalo Bones are just the thing for those energetic chewers. Bones from non-medicated, free-range animals provide marrow and essential nutrients. If you are looking for all natural food try raw beef bones from Primal Pet Foods and Raw Advantage.

Among the main competitors in the raw food industry, Raw Advantage is in front with an amazing line of choices. Although its Organic Dinner for Dogs may not include the more exotic ingredients its competitors choose, its line of food is free-range, organic, hormone and pesticide free and includes kelp and garlic which is a natural body cleanser and immune builder.

Raw Advantage Organic Only Meat goes a step further in including the freshest chemical free meat, organs and offal. If grain will work, consider the organic products made by Raw Advantage Organic Rock Island Raw, which mix meat with millet and oats.

Primal Pet Foods use 100% human grade organic and chemical free ingredients, and strive to replicate the diet of the wild. Enriched with anti-oxidant and mineral laden sources such as kelp, coconut oil and cranberries, Primal also guarantees all natural, vegetarian-fed meat.

Natures Logic is a less expensive option, offering a product that is over 90% meat/poultry, grain and gluten free but with ground eggshells added as to provide an additional source of calcium.

Northwest Naturals is available in beef, chicken, turkey, salmon or bison formulas either in dinner nuggets or frozen bars sectioned into portions. Its formulas are fortified through added minerals, high in vitamin-rich ingredients and protein.

Bravo Raw Food Diets provide a good base into which other supplements can be included, giving owners more control over their dog’s diet.
