If you’re the type of pet parent who reads the ingredients list of your pup’s food to make sure you know and understand exactly what’s in it then you’ve no doubt heard about the growing movement towards raw feeding through social media channels or through the media, such as via the viral documentary Pet Fooled. Once rejected by seemingly all vets, a raw diet is now gaining acceptance in wholistic veterinarian circles.
It makes sense – a raw diet is what your pup would have eaten in the wild. He may not be a wolf (my fur baby is a chihuahua), but his digestive system is built very much the same way. Even if you’re convinced, (and you’re not easily convinced) switching to a raw diet is easier said than done, right?
Converting to a raw diet is anything but easy. As soon as you start thinking about it, a series of questions come up. Where do you get affordable, quality raw meat? Will your dog even eat that particular type of meat? How do you store the meat if you can’t go to the store that frequently?
It can be so daunting that you give up completely and postpone the switch. However, there is one easy way to get your dog started on a raw diet. Simply start supplementing with raw foods. The easiest way to get raw meat in your pup’s diet is with the Project Paws™ Protein Boost Food Mixers, which are freeze-dried 100% raw quality meat morsels that your dog will go crazy for. Just mix some into your pup’s food and he’ll be gleefully scarfing it down.
There are a few different camps when it comes to which fruits and vegetables are actually good for dogs, if any at all. Typically apples, raw carrots, green beans, cucumbers, oranges, peas, and pears are considered to be very good for your pup. However, it’s a good idea to educate yourself further on what’s okay for your pet to eat and get in touch with your vet if you aren’t sure!
Why not try it out with your pup’s next meal?
