This spreads to the heart, brain & lungs, but it can be prevented by feeding dogs raw meaty bones. Fortunately, a raw bone is nature's toothbrush. When dogs crunch raw bones, the bone scrapes tartar off their teeth & the meat acts as floss, naturally cleaning their gums. Raw diets are also known to whiten teeth & surprisingly decrease bad breath. *WARNING: Please NEVER feed dogs cooked bones. Cooked bones can splinter and be lethal. Dogs should ONLY eat RAW bones. Dogs & wolves share more than 99% of the same DNA.Raw diets reduce inflammation & yeast buildup that lead to allergies. Additionally, raw diets increase dogs' natural oils, active enzymes, fatty acids & amino acids. This reduces itchy dry skin, hair loss, hot spots, dandruff & shedding. All while giving dogs hydrated skin & shinier coats. 80% of your dog's immune system is in their gut, meaning a healthy gut is crucial. An all natural, raw diet helps dogs absorb more vitamins & minerals to keep their gut clean & healthy. A stronger immune system decreases your dog's risk of contracting diseases, viruses & infections. Dogs have highly acidic stomachs, digestive enzymes, natural flora & bile to process raw food & protect themselves from harmful bacteria. A raw fed dog's stomach has a PH level of 1, the same acidity as a car battery. 1 out of 2 dogs will become overweight & suffer from cancer due to standard diets, such as kibble and similar options. Cancer feeds on sugary, starchy foods, like kibble. Properly balanced, raw diets decrease the risk of cancer & decrease unnecessary fat while increasing muscle mass. The average dog lives 10-13 years. Switching your dog to a raw diet could potentially increase their lifespan by 3 years. Raw diets are what dogs are biologically built to eat. It’s the most digestible diet for them. Raw diets have a high amount of digestive enzymes, probiotics & natural hydration, which makes it much easier for dogs to break down + digest. Surprisingly, all natural raw diets help dogs poop smaller, less frequently & less smelly.
