1. Raw is Naturally Digestible
One of the most significant advantages of raw pet food is its digestibility. Unlike processed foods dry, heavily processed & full of fillers, a raw diet comprises natural ingredients that your dog's or cat's digestive system is designed to handle. This means faster digestion, less strain on their organs & a visibly healthier diet that provides you with an instant visual of healthiness.
2. Say Goodbye to Doggy Odour & Less Poop
Let's face it, no one enjoys the stench of doggy odour. Sat there watching the TV as a family & suddenly the dog drops a stench that clear’s the room. The kid’s blame dad, dad blames mum & the dog happily pretends to be asleep.
A raw diet can significantly reduce bad smells. And because raw food is more digestible, there's less waste to dispose of, meaning you'll find smaller, less stinky poops in your garden or on the walk. It’s a win-win! “Poop so hard I can kick it!” A customer famously once said in our shop.
3. Naturally Cleans Teeth
Dental health is often overlooked when considering pet health. In fact at the Vet’s a dental is a common procedure, we’d ask should it really be. Why do so many pet’s need dentals in the first place? Feeding your pets the Best Raw Pet Food can naturally scrape off plaque and tartar from their teeth, reducing the risk of dental issues and saving you money on expensive dental cleanings.
4. Glowing Skin and Shiny Coat
If you're tired of dull, dry coats and itchy skin, then have you ever thought of a dietary change. The essential fatty acids and oils naturally found in raw pet food are a boon for your pet's skin and coat, offering a glow that you'll be proud to show off.
Did you know many vitamins & nutrients advertised on commercial pet foods are sprayed on! With the best raw diet full of natural variety you can feed these from the most natural source, no need for additives or artificially sprayed on mineral.
5. Reduce Allergies and Boost Immune System
Many commercial pet foods contain allergens like corn, wheat, and soy. They are commonly the lower cost ingredients that bulk out more expensive ingredients such as the meat. With raw pet food, you know exactly what you're feeding your pet. This can drastically reduce allergic reactions, and the natural enzymes and nutrients offer improved immune system support.
Here at Nurturing by Nature we have even had many great successes with supporting our customers through an elimination diet. As our raw diet only consists of the ingredient it is, Chicken, Beef, Lamb or Fish it’s easy to begin a process of self elimination.
“No Need to go through one costly bag of food at a time, simply eliminate systematically one meal at a time.”
6. Build a Fitter, Stronger Pet
Strength and fitness come naturally with a raw diet. With high-quality protein and natural nutrients, your pet can build lean muscle mass instead of storing excess fat from often carbohydrates that they struggle to break down, promoting a fitter, healthier life. Fueled by fat’s & proteins that they are naturally designed to eat.
7. Natural Enrichment for the Soul
Feeding raw also provides mental stimulation for your pet. The act of chewing and breaking down raw food is an enriching activity that caters to your pet's natural instincts. These motions of Chopping, Crushing & sometimes working out how to eat their meals releases natural positive endorphins into their system promoting an over all healthier & well balanced Pet.
8. Unparalleled Energy Levels
Forget the lethargic days when your pet just doesn't feel like doing much. The increased energy levels from a raw diet can bring back the playful, adventurous spirit in your pet. Their body no longer has to work so hard to digest their meals & absorb the energy from their food. It allows their bodies to rest, their digestive system is less stressed & combined with a more nutritious meal their energy levels become more balanced.
9. Enhanced Hydration
Unlike dry kibble, raw pet food contains a higher moisture content that contributes to better hydration, which is essential for optimal health.
70% is the average moisture content of us living mammals on earth. This is the same average for a raw diet, it has a naturally higher moisture content. So it’s easier to digest. Compared to a dry kibble, the first process that happen in the gut once eaten is that the kibble is rehydrated with the moisture in your pet’s gut, leading to increased water consumption & a stressed digestion system.
10. Effortless Weight Management
The natural nutrients in raw food, combined with the absence of artificial fillers, make it easier for your pet to maintain a healthy weight, reducing the risk of obesity and related health issues. A rough guide is to feed between 1-3% of your pet’s weight in meat per day but in reality feed to maintain a healthy body shape. With no hidden ingredients it’s as simple as feed more to put on weight or support more active days - reduce meal sizes when the waist starts to disappear or your pet becomes less active.
