Benefits of Feeding Raw Diets

Including raw food in your pet’s diet has a number of health benefits such as:

• Enhanced ability to digest. Enzymes found in raw diets aid in better digestion for the pet, minimizing indigestion and optimizing nutrition absorption. 
• Improved oral health. A raw diet will not lodge in your dog’s oral cavity as much. Additionally, chewing on raw meat bones stimulates circulation, removes plaque from teeth, and massages the gums.
• Healthier coat and skin for dogs. Because raw meals are high in nutrients, dogs that eat them lose less fur and have skin that glows better and has few to no flushes
• Increased dog energy. Raw foods include a high concentration of nutrients, thus dogs become more energetic.

Guidelines on Transitioning Your Pet To Raw Diets

We understand the difficulties that come with switching your dog from a conventional diet to raw food. That is why our committed team of specialists is here to guide your dog through the entire transition process. We use a gradual adjustment strategy since we understand that various pets adapt differently according to their age, weight, and likely activity level. To make your work easier, here are some basic measures we recommend you do. 

• Consult a team of specialists here at Houston Raw Pet Food to determine what raw feeds they can begin with based on their past diet. 
• Choose a protein from our store that you can gradually add to your pet’s food. You can start with 25% raw food and 75% regular diet, for example.
• You can then gradually reduce the percentage of dry/former diet while increasing the raw diet until they are fully raw.
• While you’re at it, keep an eye on your pet’s health and behaviour, including stool quality, energy levels, and skin condition.
• Add supplements to your pet’s diet if need be.
