Greetings friends. I am looking at swapping my new pup (I know she looks like a granny but she's only a year old) from a kibble diet. I'm thinking of swapping her to a raw diet but I know nothing about what type is best, what brands are best, ect! Air dried, freeze dried, dehydrated, ect. I want opinions from educated people before I make a switch!

The Importance of Raw Diets for Dogs: A Nutritional Perspective #RawDiet #DogFood #Back2theWild

The concept of a raw diet for dogs, often referred to as Biologically Appropriate Raw Food (BARF) or the Ancestral Diet, roots itself in the belief that domestic dogs should eat a diet closely resembling that of their wild ancestors. This diet comprises raw meats, bones, organs, and select fruits and vegetables, mirroring a natural carnivorous diet. Nutritional benefits: High Protein Content:…

If you’re feeding a raw diet, you’re most likely feeding whole foods. However, there may be some foods that can act as supplements to fill in any nutritional gaps. While raw feeding is beneficial to your dog’s health, it’s important to maintain variety so your dog obtains all the nutrients they need.

I unfortunately ended up uncritically believing the raw food crowd's claims for a bit (at least about cats, cause i don't know that much about cats) before doing further research, and I think that claim was from one of them, so I'm curious and suspicious.

Hi, Sueanoi here.

There is a research that states "There is reasonable evidence that soft diets are associated with increased frequency and severity of periodontal disease, and that harder foods requiring vigorous prehension and mastication are preferable for dogs and cats."

So according to that, raw bones probably do something more than soft meats. However, from my own anecdote, raw bone chews isn't as good as dental chew toys. and dental chew toys isn't as good as regular brushing.

I've only recently tried the fresh breath drops. result is still pending to me, so i will not comment about that.

I live in Southeast Asia, the Paradise of Parasite. I will never recommend raw food as bacteria here *flourish* in raw stuff. While there are people who can successfully do it, it's not easy nor safe to try without extensive education on how to do it right, with the correct nutrition percentage and contamination control. As this research states in its entire section about health risk (please click and read that. It's a lot.)

*If you have that education and training, i will not stop you.* however, I have had to treat animals that get self prescribed antibiotics to the point of everything is resistant. I WILL give you a judgy eyes when we have that talk.

If you can't brush your cat's teeth (which, honestly, the majority of cat owners can't) a routine professional cleaning with a vet is recommended to prevent uncontrolled dental problems. Perhaps once a few years, or sooner if your cat has an on-going dental disease.
