Raw Pet Foods - To Feed Or Not to Feed?

Raw pet diets have been around for many years. In that time there has been a number of opposing thoughts on the idea of feeding a natural well balanced RAW PET DIET.

BARF diets as they were and still called , was the first to make it's way into our homes to feed our pets. Raw meat, vegetables, grain or no grain, what a job that was preparing those meals and ensuring that the correct balance of nutrient  necessary to maintain your pets health was attained every time you prepared their meals.

This has been one of  the main concerns for the pet owners, and a pedestal for our vets and large chimerical pet food companies to stand on and wave the flag of connivance and unbalanced from. We have learned over the years that AFC CO has been the predominating force over the substances  that can make its' way  into our pets diets.

If you get a chance take a look at the AFCO web site and you will be surprised at the variations, and the products they will allow in our pets food. The logic that the pets should be fed the same food continuously has left us with even more health problems than we were experiencing fifteen, even ten years ago. One of the main medical conditions we are seeing now, is food allergies.

Yes, have you been to your vet lately, and your told that your pet is allergic to one or more ingredient in the commercial diets you have either both at your favorite pet store or at your vets office. Sadly enough they have numerous pills, shampoo, injections, and yes replacement diets to get your pet back on track.  Too many time I have watch clients labor over trying to get their pets to eat what is called in the pet food industry, a NOVEL protein, and CARBOHYDRATE. I am sure a number of you reading this can relate to the transition pains, and lets not forget the need to change the  diet again in 6mts-1yr when the same problem reoccurs because the body is now bombarded by what is no longer a NOVEL protein or carb.

Feeding Raw and unprocessed leaves you with room to offer different varieties on a day to day bases with no stomach upsets, and the body is now used to changes so it is not allowed to put up this allergic attack because every day it is meet by something different.

Processed, cooked , or comically processed foods are by far not nutritionally sound. For one thing, it was studied and pr oven by Francis Pottenger over sixty years ago that any food that has to undergo that much processing and ext ream heat to produce those crunchy bites that everyone is hooked on believing cleans teeth, can in no way retain any nutritional value. Look I am sure we all know someone our ourselves, who has lived and will continue to live on McDonald's and cigarettes, not to mention soda, and they are alive. Ask them how many time they have colds, infections, indigestion, or visit their doctor. I am sure you will be surprised by the number.

Now speak to people who have been feeding their pets raw properly prepared diets, how many time they have been to their vets, and I am sure you will be surprised, short of their yearly exams, and possible cuts, they never see their vets. There will always be that odd ball that defies all laws, but that is just breeding, as in  people and animals.

So let me know what  you think about raw, as it is cheaper, healthier, and much more enjoyable than you even thought, and I am sure you would be happy you looked into it.
