Raw Diets are Healthy for Dogs

I'm sure most of you are aware of the horrible scandal going on right now in the pet food industry. Dog food, cat food, and dog treats are being recalled right and left due to deadly amounts of contaminants in these products.

What is a concerned owner to do?

There are a few options:

  • Continue feeding what you're currently feeding and hope for the best.
  • Change foods if your food of choice is on the recalled list. Of course, this begs the question - is my dog food next on the list? Will my best friend be stricken with a deadly illness before the pet food manufacturer decides that it will cost less to recall than to not?
  • Change over to a home cooked dog food diet.
  • Change over to a raw diet - either a BARF diet or a prey-model diet.

This blog is dedicated to the raw diet - both the BARF diet (Bones and Raw Food) and the prey model. Honestly though, we tends towards the prey-model diet.
