Raw Food For Your Furry-Paw Yes Or No?
Creature Companions|August 2020
There is no dearth of debatable topics when it comes to dog nutrition! Feeding raw or cooked meat to our dogs is one such topic. You will find nutritionists completely bent in favor of raw food, while some swearing by their own home-cooked meals.

Raw Food For Your Furry-Paw Yes Or No?

If you ask me, nothing is wrong! And not everything is right. We need to find the grey between the black and the white. But that insight requires us to draw perspectives from different laterals.

Feeding raw meats is a concept that was given by Dr. Ian Billinghurst, an Australian Veterinarian, some 20 years ago. He suggests that dogs are naturally carnivores (having evolved from wolves). If left in the wild, they would hunt and eat raw meats. Therefore, dogs must be fed raw meat for food. Not only that, the raw meat diet has also shown many dogs to have wonderful health with excellent skin and coat. Many dogs have even recovered of their chronic skin problems when put on a raw diet. Another argument in favor of this concept is that cooking depletes the meats of their enzymes and nutrients. Therefore, feeding raw meats to dogs is preferred under all circumstances.
