Our dogs are fed a RAW diet, which consist of beef, venison, chicken, turkey, bison, soft bone fish, rabbit, lamb, tripe, eggs, organs, and raw bones. We DO NOT ever feed pork or wild boar as these are aujeszky! As a tasty healthy treat, they also get crushed fruits and vegetables daily. They are fed 2-3% of their body weight daily.
RAW feeding benefits include:
raw bones naturally cleans teeth
no doggy odor
shinier coats
puppies grow at a slower rate avoiding growth spurts
mirrors what a dog would be getting in the wild
less stools produced
decreased vet bills-healthier dogs
less cost for dog food
the ripping and chewing involved in eating raw meaty bones develops the jaw, neck, and shoulder muscles of the dog
more milk production for lactating mothers
increased energy
quicker digestion
decreased chances of bloat
better weight control
