Raw Food Diet

This page is intended to be a resource for our puppy families and in fact anyone who is embarking on the feeding of a raw/varietal diet to their dogs and is looking for ideas, how-to's, tips and information.

Why Feed A Raw Diet?

• Dogs are derived from wolves, therefore, they are both omnivores and have almost identical digestive systems to each other
• Canines thrive on raw, fresh meats, bones, organs and fresh vegetables
• Dogs possess the proper enzymes to break down meats and vegetables, but not grains

• Your dog will absorb all the vitamins, nutrients and minerals they need from raw food (this results in a smaller, dryer stool)

• The nutrients in dry food are substantially eliminated during the cooking process

• The dog's digestive system is able to digest raw food in as little as 5 hours as opposed to 12 hours when fed dry food
