New Year’s Resolution for Pets

If your pet could make a new Year’s resolution about eating better in the New Year, he would choose to eat a healthy raw food diet. Benefits of the diet include clean teeth, glossy coats, healthy skin, better muscle tone, fewer parasites, less stool and best of all raw fed pets seem to have enhanced well being and excellent overall health. Owners enjoy knowing they are feeding their dog fresh food and that they have control over just what their pet’s diet consists of.

While all dogs seem healthier on raw food the benefits seem the greatest for pets with health problems. Owners of pets with allergies are easily able to avoid problem foods with this diet. Digestive problems and Irritable Bowel Disease can be treated with the raw food diet and proper supplements.

Cats fed dry food are very prone to urinary tract infections, while cats fed raw food rarely suffer this condition. Pets with joint problems often improve dramatically on this diet. Holistic veterinarians often put all dogs and cats they treat for cancer on the raw diet, sometimes with amazing results!

Obesity in pets can lead to serious diseases such as  heart failure and diabetes, as well as making your pet prone to joint problems. If your pet already has joint problems, being the correct weight can be the difference between a dog who shows  no symptoms and a dog who is in a lot of pain. The raw diet is the best way to help ensure your dog remains in good physical shape. Your pet will be less likely to get chubby if he is on a raw diet. If already overweight, a strict raw food diet which eliminates grain and unhealthy treats is your best bet for helping your pet get in shape. Like humans, pets will lose weight with a good diet used along with proper exercise.

The raw diet also works with picky pets or pets who need to gain some weight. Many owners tell us that once their picky pet has been switched to the raw diet they never missed another meal!

If you have a new puppy or kitten, the raw diet will promote proper slow growth and promotes a lifetime of good health.
