Raw feeding tips
ProDog Raw’s mission is to help your dog thrive. We believe nutrition is the cornerstone of canine health and, as such, invest our all into providing fresh, natural, raw dog food designed with 100% species-appropriate ingredients from human quality production sources, operating with the best possible welfare practices.
We advocate feeding your dog a variety of proteins; by incorporating a selection of protein options you provide your dog with vitamins and minerals from across the nutritional spectrum. If one meat type delivers a select range of nutrients, offering a diverse range of meats will ensure you fuel your dog in a nutritionally comprehensive way.
Variety equals nutritional balance!
Your dog’s individual requirements, breed, age, level of activity can all play a part in finding the combination of proteins, meal options and treat choices that will help them thrive. Each dog is unique and has specific nutritional needs. By offering a range of raw food and treat options, you will, over time, establish the perfect raw food diet for your dog.
So if we buy 80 10 10 raw food as the foundation for our dog’s diet, what do we have to do to move it toward a more complete offering?
The answer, for me, is three-fold. You need to add a) blended fresh raw or lightly cooked green veg, b) vitamins and minerals and c) omega-3 fatty acids. Vitamins and minerals can come in the form of a synthetic supplement. That’s fair enough, but I think superior to that would be to feed a range of nuts, herbs and seeds on a rotating basis, changing every 1-3 months at the least.
Nuts are best served raw and soaked overnight, although this is a pain to do, I realise—anything but Macadamia works. Herbs can be any seasonal thing you can pick up in the garden or supermarket. Don’t give epileptic dogs lots of Rosemary, though – it’s stimulating. Seeds can be anything we eat: sunflower and pumpkin are some of my favourites. I put these bits into the blender with the greens, blend up to a smoothie consistency and pour on food, keep in the fridge for three days or freeze.
Omega-3 fatty acids come from fish, krill, algae and flax oil, although nuts and seeds contain some, too. Most people in the raw world use fish oil, mostly salmon oil. This is fine, but I’d suggest alternating with other fish oils and alternating these each month with plant-based omega-3 sources – both have unique strengths. Why miss out?
