Benefits of Raw Feeding

Teeth & Breath
Your pet will have much-improved breath, no tartar and beautifully clean teeth - all without having to visit the pet dentist or brush the teeth.

Skin & Coat
Will likely be one of the first changes you will notice when you start feeding raw. If those persistent skin problems suddenly disappear or improve, and you no longer need vet visits, medicated washes, antibiotics, cortisone shots and cortisone tablets, it has to mean something. It really is hard to ignore the deeply colored, lustrous, thick and healthy coat!

Immune System
Raw feeding normalizes and strengthens the immune system. Because raw meaty bones contain a good balance of essential fatty acids and other immune normalizing and strengthening nutrients, it reduces inflammatory conditions and waves good-bye to infections.

Degenerative Disease
Pet owners that switch their older pets raw feeding usually find that whatever degenerative disease their pet has contracted, becomes less of a problem.

Stool Volume & Odor
Once again this reflects the improved health of the immune system and the remarkable difference that bone eating makes in the production of firm stools which are essential for normal anal sac emptying.

Arthritis
After a few months you can expect to see much greater mobility in your pet. This is part of the reason so many older pets have a new lease on life when switched to raw foods.

Lean Body Mass
By feeding raw, your pet will lose unwanted fat and gain that much desired increase in muscle mass. This not only makes your pet look better, it increases your pet’s metabolic rate, its activity levels and its healthy life-span. The effect will be more rapid if you combine raw food with some normal exercise.
