Frozen raw dog food is simply the best diet option for your dog. The BARF diet (Bones and Raw Food Diet) consists of various types of raw red meat including bones.
In the wild, dogs catch their prey and eat the meat raw. They don't go and cook it then add preservatives and colors then stick it in a can. That is not natural!
Dog nutrition experts have commented on the benefits of feeding your dog a frozen raw dog food diet. Ian Buffet, and alternative veterinarian has commented on the frozen raw dog food diet versus commercial pet food: "I just think you can't get the same quality of food out of a bag of commercial food that you can if you do it yourself, picking the ingredients yourself, making it yourself and serving it fresh. The biggest benefit of commercial foods is just the convenience of it."
As he mentions, people tend to choose commercial pet food over raw meat and bones due to the fact it is widely available and cheap. People fail to think about the increased vet bills they may be incurring if they are not feeding their dogs raw meat. These vet bills can quickly outweigh the cost of a frozen raw dog food diet.
Ian Buffet is skeptical of the pet food industry, saying "They have to do the processing, they have to put the preservatives in, and the food's been sitting on the shelf for a few months. So there's just no way they can get the same quality of food into the pet."
Is he right? Could commercial pet food really be harming our dogs and causing them to get diseases that used to be only confined to humans?
It is a fantastic idea to experiment with a frozen raw dog food diet for your dog. Try it for a few months, see how his behavior, appearance and overall health changes. Only then will you know if you have made the right choice.
