Better weight control
Quality animal proteins, healthy fats, vegetables containing vitamins and phytonutrients are what your dog needs to stay lean and healthy. Processed diets are heavy in carbohydrates and synthetic nutrients and light on quality protein. Just look what happens to humans who eat a high carbohydrate diet.
Calmer
The gut-brain axis links the gut microbiome with brain function. By eliminating synthetic vitamins, minerals and preservatives and improving gut health, you can positively affect your dog's behaviour.
Improved digestion
Living enzymes in fresh food faciltiate digestion and help your dog grow a more diverse range of healthy gut bacteria. This makes it easy for your dog to properly absorb the nutrients it needs from their food. If food is able to pass through the gut lining into the bloodstream without being properly broken down, this condition is called leaky gut. Many of the most common health issues we see today in dogs, like itchy skin, stem from poor gut health.
Oral health
Stinky breath comes from poor oral and gut health. Starches in dry food cause plaque and tartar to build up on teeth. This usually will result in a trip to the Vet and your dog undergoing a general anaesthetic to have his teeth cleaned. Bacterial endocarditis, an infection affecting the lining of the heart, is commonly seen in dogs with dental disease.
Shiny Coat
When they’re healthy on the inside they’re literally shining on the outside. Up to 40% of the protein your dog eats goes into growing it’s coat. Dog parents often comment on how much softer and shinier their dog's coat feels on a raw diet.
Smaller poop and better hydration
Fresh food has a high moisture content so your dog will naturally be hydrated, and not in a state of constant dehydration, as with dry food. The result is they need to drink a lot less water, so they wee less. Without all the indigestible bulking ingredients found in dry food there is a lot less waste matter to pick up at the park.
Farting
Does your best friend clear the room with a silently deadly? Feeding processed food leads to poor gut health and flatulence is a sign. Feeding fresh food helps to eliminate these problems.
Strengthened immune system
Over 80% of the immune system resides in the gut - so a healthy gut results in a healthier dog.
