A raw diet will have a positive impact on your pet’s life and health. Just like so many worthwhile life changes, the differences may not be apparent overnight, but the improvements you see in your pet’s health will start to show in a relatively short amount of time.  

A raw diet will have a positive impact on your pet’s life and health. Just like so many worthwhile life changes, the differences may not be apparent overnight, but the improvements you see in your pet’s health will start to show in a relatively short amount of time.  

As your pet begins transitioning to a raw diet, you will start to see the following benefits:

1. Naturally clean teeth that promote healthy gums and reduce tartar. The added benefit of fresher breath is always appreciated!
   
2. Natural hydration, so you’ll notice a decrease in water consumption.
3. Support of healthy organ functions as they are not taxed from processing preservatives and other unnecessary fillers.
4. Produce smaller, less “smelly” stools as your pet uses most of what raw food provides, which leaves less overall waste.
5. Cleaner, softer, and shinier coat due to your pet getting the proper nutrients without all the unwanted fillers and preservatives.
6. Sustain a consistent growth pattern in puppies and kittens and promoting overall health and wellness throughout your pet’s life.
7. Control weight as pets raised on or switched to a raw diet get exactly what their body needs without any extras.
8. Improve endurance and energy levels since your pet is getting the nutrients they need.
9. Offer a calmer demeanor as there are no artificial fillers or additives.
10. Treat many ailments without conventional veterinary medicine, such as:

• • Reduce digestive upset and colitis.
  • Minimize cat hairball issues, Idiopathic Vestibular Disease (IVD), and bladder crystals.
  • Alleviate allergic reactions and other side effects due to fewer ingredients.
  • Improve skin/fur disorders.

In addition to the significant improvements you will begin to see in certain chronic, physical conditions that may be plaguing your pet companion, you will also begin to notice an increase in your dog or cat’s energy levels and even a happier disposition once they begin enjoying a raw diet.
