A New Year, A New Diet for Your Dog

The New Year, a time of resolution, change, and moving forward for all of us. As we begin our next revolution around the Sun, many people aim to improve their livelihoods as a New Year’s resolution. Although this doesn’t have to be limited to ourselves, this New Year could signify a new diet for your dog.

If you’ve ever modified your diet in any way, then you’ll know just how much it can impact your mood and quality of life. The same goes for our pooches, their diet is integral in their having a good life, although most dogs are still fed low-quality products like kibble or dog roll. As a provider of raw pet food PA, we believe the New Year period is a great time to introduce raw food to their diet.

Here is a look at why you should introduce raw food into your dog’s diet, and how to go about doing so.

The Best Diet for Your Dog that Simulates Nature

When we introduce any animal to our home as a pet, we usually try and provide some degree of environment for them that simulates their habitat. With fish, it comes in the form of seaweeds and aquatic stones, with cats and dogs it usually ends up being the front or backyard. We do this because we know that these animals will feel more comfortable in an environment that is familiar to them and their genes.

Feeding our dogs raw pet food tries to achieve the same simulation of nature, instead of simulating what would be the dog’s “natural” diet, which often means looking at what wolves and other canids eat.

Natural Balance

On top of simply feeding your dog raw pet food, you should also consider building up to a diet that simulates how they would eat in the wild. Dogs wouldn’t kill their prey and only eat muscle tissue, both organ tissue and bone contain important nutrients for their health and development. They would also eat a range of different animals, including even fish, so changing it up to suit both their preference and nutritional needs is wise.

More Good Stuff, Less Bad Stuff

Raw food contains a range of naturally-occurring nutrients which are intrinsically relevant to the growth and functioning of fido. It’s high in the relevant proteins, natural fats, and naturally contains those synthetically made additional nutrients common in kibble.

Processed dog foods like kibble, canned meals, and dog rolls all contain a range of preservatives, flavor enhancers, synthetic vitamins and minerals, and fillers. Not only are some of these ingredients irrelevant to your dog’s diet, they can also be harmful and lead to a range of health issues later in fido’s life.

Many dog owners will be used to seeing a list of nutrients on their processed dog food packaging, but simply listing them doesn’t insinuate that they’re actually benefiting your dog. The best thing you can do for your dog’s diet is to pay attention to how they respond to the food, both when you serve it and how it comes out of them.

How to Transition to Raw Pet Food to Have the Best Diet for Your Dog

As a provider of raw pet food PA, we’re constantly being asked the best way to introduce our products to your dog. The funny thing is, in many cases the dog will go for it excitedly, recognizing the innate value that the food has for them. It’s almost as if they prefer when we simulate their natural environment rather than trying to contort their diet to our mass production culture.

Although, the high sodium content in kibble can be addictive to dogs, so if they prefer the kibble it isn’t their fault, they simply don’t know better.

Ease the Transition

Not only will the raw pet food be a stark contrast to their kibble in terms of taste, how their body processes it will be entirely different too. This is where it’s important to check their stool, to see just how well their body is transitioning to the new food. Read our article here on how to help you dog transition to raw pet food.

Diet and Exercise

As with our own health, our diet only determines so much of how well we feel, with exercise being the other determining agent. When switching your dog to a raw pet food diet you may find that they have a lot more energy to burn each day. This can align with your own resolution of exercising more and hopefully lead to both of you feeling healthier and having a better year for it.
