QUESTION:
Why is raw food important to my dog’s health?
ANSWER:
Nature solves the problem of enzyme deficiency by providing enzymes in raw foods.
In the wild, a free-roaming wolf or jackal hunts grazing animals wherever possible. They will feast on stomach contents first, eating all the enzyme-laden contents of the liver and intestines.
Yet most dog owners really don’t like the idea of feeding raw meat to their pet, because they are concerned about bacteria or parasites. However, it’s really important to realize that dogs don't get salmonella poisoning because their digestive system is very, very acidic and it kills germs far more effectively than a human system.
Your Labrador actually requires raw meat in order to maintain peak health and vitality (because raw meat contains essential enzymes, amino acids and other nutrients which are vital for your dog’s health).
Many skin and coat problems are caused directly by a lack of raw animal fat in the diet - fat which owners frequently believe is bad for their pet.
