Better hydration: Fresh food contains a higher moisture content, which helps keep dogs hydrated.

Healthier skin: Raw food can improve skin health by reducing inflammation, reduction of allergies, and reducing the risk of skin infections.

The most important reason is the joy and health of your dog

For many, it actually proves to be a cost savings with fewer vet visits, less medications, & fewer supplements required for day to day feeding.

Don’t Take My Word For It.

I put together the benefits of a fresh food diet information for those people that are getting pushback from their vets or who just aren’t quite convinced to make the change.

I’m not going to refer you to my content — I’m going to share some content with you from other vets and professionals so that you’re getting an opinion other than mine.

I will send you to my article on How to Read Dog Food Label Ingredients. Pull Out your bag or get your ingredient list from Google, and walk through this article with every single ingredient on your bag.

And then do your research. And I do mean research. You don’t have to be me and do this every day — but read from multiple resources and experts. Don’t make this a one and done thing! Keep reading and digging. Form your own opinion even if that leads you to a disagreement with your vet — and perhaps to a new more nutritionally-minded, wellness-minded vet. I had to do it too. Be your pet’s advocate. IT MATTERS.

Be sure to also look up your specific dog food on: Dog Food Advisor to see its score and feedback from the independent evaluators. You’ll also see that many kibble brands have recalls for a host of reasons — salmonella, e.coli, pentobarbital, errors in vitamin ratios, molds, etc,

If you’d like for me to look up your food on Petsumer.com — let me know.

If you’re still really concerned about the benefits of a fresh dog food diet— gently cook your dog’s meals. It will still be far healthier than kibble, canned or any other commercially prepared food. Ask me about my Homemade Food Guide, Consulting Sessions, etc.
