12 Benefits To Feeding Raw Pet Food
As promised, here is our list of the 12 benefits of feeding raw pet food. Feel free to add the benefits you have found also in our comments section!
12 Benefits of feeding raw, the short list:
1.No doggy odor
2.Naturally cleans teeth – no need for toothbrushes, de-scaling jobs, or gum disease
3.The time it takes for a dog to chew a raw meaty bone gives their stomach adequate time to get the acids moving
4.Much less stool produced – and they are firm, and turn chalky after a couple of days
5.Decreased or non-existent vet bills (your dogs are healthier!)
6.Less cost for dog food – commercial dog foods are expensive
7.Mirrors what a dog would be getting in the wild – and certainly even the modern day dog has a digestive tract exactly the same as a wolf
8.Puppies develop at a more appropriate rate – and quick growth spurts are avoided. This puts less strain on developing joints, fewer problems later
9.Balances blood sugars, lowers hyperactivity
10.They love to eat- no more “picky eater”
11.Maintains the natural digestive enzymes, aids in digestion (less gas, diarrhea, and constipation)
12.Anal glands work as nature intended
Based on my experiences, both with my dogs and my customer’s dogs, feeding raw has decreased the number of vet visits substantially. Dental scalings that were once required annually, are now not needed at all! Medications and special Rx shampoos once needed for red, itchy skin are now a thing of the past! Pets who have had urinary issues and have had to succumb to the dreaded Rx diet (which is loaded with CORN!!) are now eating raw and having great results. Raw food contains approximately 70% moisture, which has been proved to greatly improve overall health; it is easier for your pet’s system to assimilate the ingredients and nutrients.
If you are ready to think outside the bag, consider all the benefits of feeding a raw diet to your pet.

I am a firm believer in a raw diet. My dog is healthy and costs me less in vert bills than my previous dog who I thought was on a fabulous, healthy kibble diet. The veterinarian I use is also a fan of raw having seen the results of raw fed dogs with her own experienced eyes. My only hope is that all veterinarians wake up to the fact that raw is better…they are slow coming around.
Thanks for your feedback! Who do you use for a Veterinarian. We would love to start up a list Veterinarians that support the feeding of raw, so that we can promote them to our clients. Enjoy your happy healthy pup
I use Riota Demuse, right here in Scarborough…@ Tender Touch

This post is very useful for me, much appreciated!
Thanks for the comments and feedback. I love talking food.
Feeding raw makes it easier to maintain healthy weight and my vet is amazed at the condition of my 7 1/2 yr old…clean teeth and defined waist.
