Raw Dog Food – How Can You Be Sure It’S Healthy?
For your dog’s sake, be a bit suspicious. Don’t be convinced by anyone (including me) that what they are trying to sell you is necessarily in your dog’s best interest.
Instead, it may be in their own best interest if they gain a sale from convincing you.
If you’re having a problem getting your head around the idea of raw dog food, then I suggest it’s your problem, not your dog’s.
Dogs evolved on a diet of raw food over millennia. Humans have only recently taken an interest in making dog food.
Do you really imagine, for one moment, that humans have been able to change the domestic dog’s digestive and immune system in fifty odd years?
You may well say that humans have had an impact on the way dogs look, with all the different breeds. Yes, that’s true. But have you also noticed that pedigree dogs are also the most unhealthy? What I call a Heinz 57 dog, is normally much healthier.
So in breeding a selective type of dog, humans have gone against nature, by isolating one or more traits, until the breed becomes what the breeder wants.
And so it is with food. Humans tinker about with food, under the guise of ‘science’. I call it junk science, because there’s nothing scientific about commercial dog food. The word ‘science’ has come to be revered by the majority. Just as the word ‘natural’ is currently enjoying popularity.
So a clever commercial dog food manufacturer will incorporate the word ‘science’ and/or ‘natural’ in the advertising, to lure you in.
That doesn’t mean there’s anything of quality within the packet or can. It could be anything. You have no way of knowing how the food was prepared or what is in each pack.
Raw dog food, on the other hand, contains all the nutrients essential to a healthy dog.
I appreciate that it may take you time to get your head around the idea, because you’ve probably been brought up on the idea that commercial pet food is the healthiest way to go.
If that was true, how *** that dogs health invariably improves when a switch from commercial to raw dog food is made? The only way you’re really going to find out for sure is to try it out yourself.
You may be worried about parasites and bacteria in raw dog food.
Neither of these are an issue for dogs, whose digestive system is very robust, with powerful digestive juices. Dogs aren’t carnivores, they’re omnivores, which means they can eat anything (as long as it’s raw), including vegetation and rotting carcasses.
In fact, you will notice that when you feed a raw dog food, fleas and worms decrease and almost disappear.
Dogs have problems with unnatural foods - those that are cooked, those that contain preservatives. Neither of these are natural. Cooking destroys many vitamins and denatures other nutrients.
I can genuinely assure you, that your dogs health will improve considerably when you start feeding a raw dog food. There may be a ‘de-toxing’ period initially, but this is normal, natural and only takes a short time to go through.
Why not try it for a month and see for yourself? What have you got to lose?

Wow thats disgusting.Top quality dog foods fill your dog up quicker so they won’t each as much and theres less stomach issues and diarreaha.I’d preffer making my own dog food using gravy,beef,lamb chop,chicken (cooked of coarse),yogurt(unflavored),oats,barley and rice.All of those ingredients can be made into some great food for your dog to give him or her a healthy meal once in awhile.
I would ask around. Ask other pet owners in your area who their vet is and if they're happy with them. Also, I would search online and look for good reviews.
I've been to couple of bad vets over the years. A couple of pointers from experience:
- If they do not recommend or require yearly vaccinations, they are a bad vet.
- If they do not recommend flea and heartworm preventative, I would keep looking.
- If they do not allow you to be in the room while your pet is examined (I had a vet try this with me- no way!) there's no way I'd take my pet there.
Good Luck!

Absolutely not. Realized I loved coding, but making actual games wasn’t as fun as I’d thought.
i dont think that is true that the dogs fur will fall off because when my dog was about 7 mounths he jumped up on the counter and ate a raw chicken and that was forever ago and his fur ddnt fall off
Sally wanted to start crying at a dog food commercial. Why? Because it didn't have meat. Yuuup. Strange, little girl. :p
Eggs are great, mine love them. I freeze them and offer them as yummy summer time hot weather treats.
No transition is needed, simply toss the yucky kibble and start that pup on REAL food, asap!!!
As for the groups youve joined, if you have joined rawfeeding and rawchat, with our combined over 15000 members, NO ONE will have told you to start slow, or just start by adding an egg, I gaurantee this.
These lists are again….

On yahoo groups, go…join, you wont be sorry.
The reason behind the no transition is that kibble and rawfoods have different rates of digestion. Raw is very very fast, it moves thru their systems incredible quick, which is why theres just no danger from ecoli, or salmonella with raw. Kibble , due to its composition and presence of un natural fillers, carbs and other non essentials to a carnivores diet, takes FOREVER to pass thru. To mix the two is simply asking for trouble. Some folks opt for a 24 hr fast between the last kibble meal and the first raw meal, just to allow for the remaining kibble to be eliminated. I did this, but it is personal preference. Join those lists I suggested above and be sure to check out the archived messages..there are answers to questions in there you didnt know you had. LOL
