By Essie Osborn


There is a lot of information available on the Internet which describes the particular value of raw food diets and its impact on your overall health. Just about all the advantages also apply to domesticated animals, and pets are probably most affected by commercially available foods. Some innovative web sites now provide raw food diet for dogs recipes to help owners change their pets over to a much healthier, more natural, eating plan.

The fact is, we humans need to eat a balanced diet if we want to be healthy. The same applies to our pets, although what constitutes a balanced menu may vary, depending on whether it is a cat, dog, or other animal. Wild dog species usually eat an entire prey animal and may also supplement their diets with berries or vegetation.

Sudden dietary changes can result in severe gastro-intestinal disturbance. This may occur even if the move is to a far better diet, as the digestive processes may be unable o deal with the unaccustomed foods. It may take many months to accustom a pet to such a drastic change in diet, and it best o proceed cautiously.

Diarrhoea and other digestive upsets are symptoms that the change is being done too rapidly. If this happens, all that need be done is to slow down or possibly backtrack a little until the situation is normalized, then you can resuming the introduction of the new foods. Changing the eating habits of a dog may result in detoxification taking place, indicated by symptoms such as the shedding of hair while the animal is otherwise alert and healthy.

A good rule is that, if in doubt, simply slow down the pace of change to allow your pet time to adapt. The whole process may take a while, but ultimately you will end up with a much livelier dog. If necessary, you can ask your veterinarian for advice or get help from a suitable online site which will also have balanced recipes available

The results of switching your dog to raw food will soon be very obvious. You might consider a similar change yourself, as the high proportion of people in the population with chronic health problems is evidence of the poor nutritional value of modern diets. Experiments have shown that many degenerative diseases may not be due to old age but simply be a consequence of poor eating habits.

You should be aware that some people advocate feeding dogs spoiled meet. This is inadvisable, and rotten meat or other items is loaded with toxins which can have potentially fatal consequences if consumed. Crocodiles and other wild creature seem to thrive on rotten meat, but the same is not true of dogs which are domesticated and require healthy meats.

Providing a natural mix of raw foods for a dog is the act of a responsible, caring, owner. However, even prime steak has limited nutrition, and a nutritionally complete complete combination is essential. You might be surprised at how affordable the right food is, and the increased health and vitality of your pet as well as lower veterinary bills are a bonus.
