Transitioning your pet from dry kibble to a raw food diet?

In the production of dry pet food, leftover meat is processed into a meat slurry and mixed with proteins, vitamins, minerals, flavorings, colorings, and preservatives. This mixture undergoes chemical and thermal processing reducing the amount of nutrition your pet gets out of the end product.

Adding chemical additives like fragrances, flavors, coloring agents, preservatives, and agents that affect moisture absorption can significantly hinder the digestion of dog food, especially commercial canned wet dog food. This type of food is sterile, leading to the release of a high amount of waste in your dog or cat's body during digestion. These harmful substances can exit the body through internal organs, fur, and ears, potentially resulting in health issues.

The role of domestic dogs has evolved over time from being a watchdog and working animal to a beloved companion. In the past, dogs used to live outside, but now they are more often found in the warmth of the living room, snuggled in front of a cozy fireplace. This lifestyle change has led to the creation of a new industry focused on producing pet food, particularly for dogs and cats. Interestingly, dry dog food was initially developed for the convenience and hygiene of humans, rather than for the health of the dogs. It doesn't stick to hands, has a long shelf life, and doesn't produce unpleasant odors when left in a food bowl for extended periods. While the role of dogs has shifted, their place in our lives has only grown stronger, making them a cherished member of the family.
