raw-feeding

It is pouring outside and Happy is having her princess nap, cosily tucked in her bed.

D & I just came back from the wet market, we bought 2 slabs of frozen pork ribs ( grass-fed black pigs), it's Happy's favourite! We bought a pig's heart for her too. We feed her a variety of raw food such as, beef steak, pork steak and ribs, lamb, whole chicken, duck, turkey, pig's/beef hearts and liver, eggs and fish.

I am an advocate for raw-feeding. The action of tearing the raw meat apart not only exercises her neck and jaw, it satiates her desire to chew, and at the same time the chewing of the meat cleans her teeth too! As raw meat is easily assimilated in the digestive system and fully absorbed by the body, the amount of waste produced is minimal. No more big smelly stool that takes forever to disintegrate, which kibble-fed dogs produced. Most kibble dog food are full of grains which the dogs cannot utilize in their body! Dogs are carnivores, their digestive system is short and it's meant to handle raw meat. Some dog owners, after having switched their dogs to raw-feeding found that the allergies that their dogs were suffering all along were gone! (These allergies were caused by the grains in the kibble.)

The benefits of raw-feeding goes on and on. The 'normal' stinky doggy breath and body odour that pet-owners deemed 'the norm' and have been putting up with no longer exist! Coats are beautiful, shiny and fur colour is rich. Immune system are boosted and her strong immune system has made her a rather inhospitable host for any serious infestation! She still gets the occasional tick after a romp in the bushes, but that usually doesn't posed a big problem for her. Overall, I am glad that I made the decision to switch Happy to raw food while she was still a puppy! I have a healthy and happy dog!!
