Lately, there has been a flurry of debate over the use of raw dog food diets in the veterinary community; however, you merely need to look in your own backyard to begin understanding the real issues.
The Knock on Effect of The Human Health Trend
Thanks to thousands of studies and millions spent in research labs, it is common knowledge that the prolonged consumption of certain chemicals in human food can eventually lead to chronic illnesses in the human body. This has lead millions to get on a health kick and free themselves from the nightmare of headaches, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and a vast number of other maladies.
It is only common sense that nature never intended the body to be able to process such things as sodium and potassium nitrates, diglycerides and other manufactured substances such as exist in commercially processed canned and kibble dog food.
So Dogs Should Only Eat Raw Dog Food?
Even considering that a dog is not a human, all the systems in a dog’s body, from the heart to the kidneys, are meant to primarily perform the same functions. If it is so that foods of unnatural sources and chemicals can eventually cause damage to such systems, imagine ingesting foods comprised of rancid commercial cooking oil, dead, disabled, diseased and dying animals, concentrated synthetic chemicals, GMO’s and other toxins.
This is without looking at the contamination that can be present due to funguses, molds and strains of bacteria. Now compare the idea of a non toxic, unprocessed fresh natural raw dog food diet.
Instead of the raw dog foods your dog’s organs were designed to digest, imagine ingesting such a toxic diet on a regular basis and the devastating results that can come with it:
- Periodontal disease
- Inflammations of the nervous system
- Cataracts, skin rashes, recurrent ear infections
- Parasites
- Hyperactivity or reduced vitality
- Loss of balance
- Sudden bowel control problems
- Diarrhea
- Blocked anal glands
- Various cancers and other life altering or fatal diseases.
Statistics on Current Dog Health Show:
- Half of all dogs over the age of ten will have developed cancer and is the number one killer in the canine species.
- Periodontal disease will emerge in eighty five percent of dogs by the age of four.
- Twenty seven percent dogs suffer from allergy related ear infections.
- Over seventy percent of anal sac gland problems stem from tinned and packaged food.
- Tooth and gum problems are the most common medical condition seen in pets.
- Since 1997, veterinarians have increased their charges and fees at more than twice the rate of inflation.
The Average Age Of Raw Fed Dogs Is 17 To 19 Years
As many have come to find, the answer to restoring balance can only come about with natural raw dog food that naturally produces much needed enzymes in the canine system. These enzymes that can restore, reinforce, heal, protect and fortify a dog’s immune system are largely destroyed thanks to the heat process in which commercial canned and dry dog food is created.
Without these naturally occuring live enzymes in raw dog food, a dog cannot properly digest nutrients that are fundamentally necessary to build strong bones, create healthy muscle tissue, provide coat support or even sustain proper brain function.
This is why owners of dogs who take on a raw food dog diet enjoy an average of seventeen to nineteen healthy, energetic years with their companion. This is in comparison to owners of dogs on packaged dog food diets that get little over a decade that is often fraught with diseased teeth, neurological disorders, allergies, cancer and much more.
Because of the alkali found in grains and similar dog food additives, the acidic nature of the canine stomach cannot be fostered.
Homemade Raw Dog Food or Commercial Pre-Made Raw Ready Meals Are The New Healthy Trend
In following its natural processes just as it has for thousands of years, the canine stomach will be expecting to digest natural raw dog food. Eventually, with no natural processes to perform a dog’s system succumbs to ill health due to a lack of proper distribution of nutrients. In these modern days, an old fashioned raw diet for dogs is crucial for long term health and wellbeing.
