Customer’s telling it like it is - in their own words. Thanks Led and Zep + Andy.

Heme iron, derived from hemoglobin and myoglobin of animal food sources (meat, seafood, poultry), is the most easily absorbable form of iron🩸

Non-heme iron is derived from plants and fortified, processed foods and has much less bioavailability and therefore poor absorption rate 💩

Low iron, or iron deficiency in dogs, could showcase itself as pale gums, weight-loss, weakness and lethargy (among other things).

Feeding a high-protein, raw-food diet helps to eliminate this issue at hand. Our human grade meat is full of heme-iron (as above) and many other vital nutrients and vitamins needed for your dogs to thrive 🐶

A raw diet for dogs is best for oral health 🦷🪥

Why? A raw diet is high in protein and low in starch and contains natural living enzymes + good bacteria that helps to prevent tartar and plaque buildup in your dogs teeth 🐶

The quality of your dogs oral health impacts more than ‘just’ their teeth. Poor oral health can cause heart disease and even organ damage. Not to mention, if you have to take your pup to the vet to get its teeth cleaned, you’ll be left out of pocket 💰

Being preventative about your dogs health is going to keep your pup healthy and happy for its life and it starts with what you put in its bowl 🐕

A raw diet is where it’s at 🥩

Meet Roux and @sandyatkinsnz - two of our very beloved @thebutchersdogau long term customers 🐶

Sandy knows first hand about cancer and did all the ground work into the causes. Our dogs get cancer at a greater rate than any other animal on the planet and diet is the biggest contributor. Feeding Roux a raw food diet made perfect sense for Sandy ❤️

Thanks Sandy, you’re an awesome dog mum 🫶🏼

… we’re just not sure whether the love is for each other or @thebutchersdogau meals? 🤔

Can’t say we blame them though 🤷🏼‍♀️ Nothing to hide, just 100% human grade meat, a little organ, a little bone + a bit of fruit + veg and voila; you have a meal your dog was biologically designed to eat from the beginning of times… and that your pup will love to scoff down at every opportunity it gets 😉

If you live with a dog, it’s important to realize that he comes with trillions of tiny companions that make up his microbiome. 🦠

These microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi, actually outnumber your dog’s own cells 🤯

They play a crucial role in maintaining your dog’s health, particularly in the gut, where around 80% of his immune system resides 🥷🏻

Neglecting to care for your dog’s microbiome can lead to health issues, weakening his immune system and overall well-being 🤧

Feeding raw food helps to maintain the microbiome by providing fresh, whole nutrients without preservatives or excessive starch, which can disrupt gut health 🥩

Understanding the importance of a healthy microbiome and gut is key to ensuring your dog’s long-term health and happiness 🐶

That, my friends, is why we bang on about gut health 👏🏼

If you’re after something a little extra to add to your pups diet, then look no further than to our ‘PIMP MY BOWL’ series 💃🏼

Needless to say; you don’t have to add anything to your @thebutchersdogau meals - they’re whole and complete in nutrition just as they are 🍖

… but, just like some of us hoomans, some dogs are also happy eaters, so here’s a few additions you can add and treat your furry friend to 🐾

🫐 **Blueberries** are not just a tasty snack; they’re bursting with antioxidants that can help slow down aging and support overall health. They’re also great for brain function!

🍏 **Apples** (just make sure to remove the seeds!) provide essential fiber and are rich in vitamins A and C. This crunchy fruit is excellent for digestion and can help keep your pup’s coat shiny and healthy.

🍄 **Shiitake Mushrooms** are a hidden gem! They contain lentinan, which boosts the immune system and helps fight inflammation. These mushrooms can promote better health and vitality in your dog.

Incorporating these ingredients into your dog’s diet can make a big difference in their wellbeing! 🐶❤️

We’re proud of the food we make for your dog - it’s our passion to take care of our animals and give them the best chance possible to live a long and healthy life which is why wr started @thebutchersdogau 🐶

We want you to see what’s in our food - we have nothing to hide ! Which is why we talk about and show you so openly who we are and what we stand for . We know that kibble is not the healthy food option you may think it is - it really is a processed biscuit 🍪

Our dogs need their nutrients in a form they can easily digest in order to be healthy, happy animals. Kibble just isn’t it! 👎🏼

A little bit more from my parent’s farm in New Zealand.
Meet Wee Un. He is my Mother’s shetland pony who came to live at the farm when he was 6 months old. He’s 34 now - and although he has developed Cushing disease later in life - he is remarkably healthy. He has a wonderful life, well loved and cared for. He’s a real character - he learned how to open his stall gate to let himself out into the paddock when he was a young fella and he calls to Mum if it’s 10 minutes past his feed time.

I grew up on a farm in NZ where the HEALTH of our animals was (and always will be) the #1 priority ❤️‍🩹

My parents understood that well-fed and looked-after animals are happier, healthier animals and need far less intervention. Why❓Because they knew that what we eat (and what our animals eat) has the biggest impact on our health.

So, my question is this; why do we ignore this when it comes to our dogs? Our best friends? 🐶

Our dogs are biologically designed to eat raw muscle meat, organ, bone and a little fruit & veg. That’s it! 🍖 🥩🦴🥒🫐

It’s simple, yet society tries to complicate it and dictate the food-chain by adding cheap ingredients to ‘bulk and fill’ the food to make it more cost-effective and cheaper (for them). It might be convenient but it is NOT healthy 🙅🏻‍♂️
