Why RAW Dog Food is Best!

 


The Benefits of Raw Dog Food: Why it's the Best Choice for Your Furry Friend

Introduction

As pet owners, we have a responsibility to provide our dogs with the best possible care, and that includes choosing the right food. With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to decide what to feed our furry friends. In recent years, raw dog food has gained popularity and for good reason. In this article, we will explore the benefits of feeding your dog a raw food diet and why it may be the best choice for their overall health and well-being.

1. Nutritional Value

One of the main advantages of raw dog food is its nutrient-rich composition. Unlike commercial dog food, which often goes through a high-heat cooking process that can deplete its nutritional value, raw dog food consists of fresh, whole ingredients. This means that your dog will receive a higher concentration of essential vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, ensuring optimal health and vitality.

2. Improved Digestion

Many dogs suffer from digestive issues such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. Raw dog food can help alleviate these problems. The natural enzymes present in raw food aid in digestion by breaking down proteins and fats more efficiently. Moreover, raw food diets are often grain-free, which is beneficial for dogs with sensitivities or allergies to grains.

3. Healthy Skin and Coat

A raw dog food diet can also have a positive impact on your dog's skin and coat. The high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids found in raw food help to reduce inflammation and promote healthy skin. This, in turn, leads to a luxurious, shiny coat. If your dog has been suffering from dry, itchy skin or a dull coat, transitioning to a raw food diet may provide the solution you've been looking for.

4. Weight Management

Obesity is a growing concern among dogs, leading to a wide range of health issues. Raw dog food can help maintain a healthy weight for your pet. Raw food diets are typically lower in carbohydrates and higher in protein, which helps dogs feel fuller for longer. This can lead to weight loss and improved body condition, ensuring your dog remains fit and active.

5. Lifespan

Switching to a raw dog food diet can have a significant impact on your dog's lifespan. The nutrient-dense composition of raw food provides all the essential vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that contribute to overall health and longevity. By feeding your dog a natural diet, free from additives and preservatives, you are promoting a strong immune system, healthy organs, and efficient digestion. Additionally, the omega-3 fatty acids found in raw dog food help reduce inflammation and protect against age-related diseases. With improved nutrition and a stronger immune system, your dog is more likely to live a longer, healthier life. Invest in your dog's well-being and make the switch to raw dog food for a happier and longer life together.

Conclusion

Feeding your dog a raw food diet can provide numerous benefits for their overall health and well-being. From improved digestion and healthier skin to weight management and dental health, even lifespan - the advantages of raw dog food are countless. As a responsible pet owner, it's our duty to prioritize the health and happiness of our furry friends, and a raw food diet is a step in the right direction. Consider making the switch and give your dog the gift of optimal nutrition.

At Dee-O-Gee Franklin, we offer many raw dog food brands that ARE TRULY RAW:

Stella & Chewy's
Northwest Naturals
Boss Dog
Primal
Ziwi
K9 Natural
and more.

Just a word of caution. Many people think these because some brands come frozen, that they are automatically RAW. They are not. For example, here are some brands that are frozen and yes healthy, but ARE NOT RAW.

A Pup Above
Farmer's Dog
Ollie
Nom Nom
Fresh Pet
Spot & Tango

Many cooked dog foods come frozen, and while these brands are healthy, they are never as good as RAW. This is the ancient ancestral diet of dogs and the very best choice for them.
