Why Go Against Nature? Why Cook What's Designed to Be Consumed in Its Natural State?
You might wonder why we'd answer your question with another question. The fact is, many pet owners are confused by the vast and often misleading commercial pet food landscape. Despite powerful marketing campaigns, commercial pet food largely lacks quality, especially compared to a raw diet from Nurturing by Nature.
A Glimpse Into Nature's Diet Plan
In the wild, both cats and dogs are predators. Their anatomy—sharp teeth to grasp prey and a strong, hinged jaw to crush bones—tells us they're naturally equipped to consume raw food. Their digestive system is designed to extract nutrients efficiently, minimizing the time they spend eating and reducing the risks associated with that. It's a survival thing.
The Commercialisation of Pet Diets
It's only recently that our pets have moved from the great outdoors into our homes. With this change came the advent of commercial pet foods, driven by both nutritional and commercial considerations. The commercialization led to cooking, which, ironically, isn't the best way to meet your pet’s nutritional needs.
To Cook or Not to Cook: The Bone Dilemma
When it comes to bones, cooking changes everything. Cooked bones become brittle and can pose a real danger to your pet. They can splinter easily, risking harm to your pet’s digestive tract. In short, bones should never be cooked if they are to be given to your pets.
The Nurturing by Nature Difference
At Nurturing by Nature, we prioritize the health and happiness of your pets—and by extension, yours. Our raw diets are carefully formulated to provide the optimal nutrients your pets need. When you see your dog or cat getting healthier, the joy and peace of mind you experience are priceless. So why mess with a good thing by cooking it?
Conclusion: Trust the Nature of Nurture
There's a reason we’re the original raw food specialists. We understand what's biologically appropriate for your pet and offer raw pet food options that can transform lives—yours included. So, can you cook raw dog food? Technically, yes. But the real question is, why would you want to?
Choose a lifestyle that’s true to both you and your pet. Trust in Nurturing by Nature.
