Some information about feeding dogs with raw food
Border Collie (confirmed introduction)

Since the 1990s, several Australian veterinarians led by Tom Veterinarian have initiated raw meat and bone breeding in Sydney. Today, So far, raw meat and bone breeding has greatly improved and improved the health of countless pets around the world.

In terms of animal taxonomy, domestic dogs and their ancestors, wolves, are generally carnivores. Thousands of years of domestic domestication have not changed the characteristics of their digestive system and nutritional needs, that is, they rely on It's meat and fat that provide energy, not carbohydrates. Disease enters through the mouth. If you let horses eat meat and lions eat vegetables, will they be happy and strong? ! Letting our pet dogs and cats eat canned or bagged artificial food based on cereal crops every day, isn't this not torturing them? ! If dogs and cats could talk, they would tell you what foods make them happy and healthy, and what foods make them sick.

The veterinarian's two books "Raw Meat Bones: Promoting Health" and "Wonderful Effect: Raising Dogs with Raw Meat Bones" have made people re-aware of the existence and health of wild carnivores. Food is natural, and pet dogs and cats should be fed the same correct diet as wild carnivores. Whole animals are the most ideal food. When whole animals are not available, raw meat and bones are the most ideal substitute. This feeding method is simple to operate, cheap and good, and is loved by pets. It has allowed thousands of pet owners to achieve extraordinary results. Unexpected deadline.

The benefits of raising pets with raw meat bones

For dogs and cats: food and medicine, killing two birds with one stone

1. Food that meets the psychological needs of carnivores.

The meat, bones, internal organs, and exterior parts of animals provide pet carnivores with the most ideal nutrients needed for energy, growth, and body repair. These raw, natural foods that have not been processed at high temperatures and do not contain oil, salt, colorants, spices, or preservatives are the basic protection for carnivores to grow in harsh environments and resist diseases. Hippocrates, a famous Greek physician from the fifth century AD, said: If you can cure a patient with food, leave the medicine in the medicine jar. The same should be said for treating our pets.

2. Natural medicines for preventing and treating carnivore diseases

1. Clean teeth and gums. While the carnivores tear and gnaw at the tough and chewy prey carcasses or large pieces of raw meat bones, their teeth and gums are also cleaned and massaged. Humans rely on maintaining oral hygiene by cleaning their teeth with toothbrushes and flossing after eating, while carnivores rely on using meat and bones to brush and floss their teeth from different angles during the eating process. The more vigorous the prey, the longer it takes to eat and clean it. The better the teeth and gums, which is nature’s gift to carnivores of a perfect way to protect their oral health. Otherwise, gums and periodontitis will occur. What's worse, oral inflammation can cause diseases in other systems of the body. Research shows that dogs and cats suffering from periodontal disease have their livers, kidneys and immune systems affected, and their health is declining.

2. Train your body and build healthy muscles. It takes time and gentle force to tear meat from bones, which is very helpful in training the jaw, neck, and chest muscles of pet carnivores, essentially strengthening their ability to catch prey.

3. Stimulate the digestive, nervous and immune systems, and enhance immunity and disease resistance. It takes a long time for pet carnivores to eat prey carcasses or large pieces of raw meat and bones. It also stimulates the penetration of digestive juices and stimulates the brain to secrete chemicals. These chemicals help strengthen the internal organs and immune system, and strengthen immune resistance. Disease ability. So that they can live a healthy and happy life. Dogs and cats raised with raw meat bones look lively, and even young dogs and cats look very energetic.

4. Nourish the appearance and reduce skin diseases. Raw meat bones provide the nutrients needed for carnivore psychology (including external growth), strengthen the immune capacity of the body (including the skin), and help the skin resist bacterial and parasitic infections.

For humans: kill multiple birds with one stone

1. The feeding and operation of raw meat and bones is simple.

2. Raw meat and bones are cheap and beautiful.

3. Veterinary expenses for raising raw meat bones are reduced or eliminated.

4. Dogs raised on raw meat and bones appear happy and satisfied, and are easy to get along with and train with people.

5. Situation maintenance. Feeding pets with dog food and cat litter will produce a lot of loose, soft and smelly feces, which will make the garden and family yard smelly. The feces of pets raised with raw meat bones are small in volume and have no fishy smell. The color of the feces turns like chalk when exposed to sunlight.

According to the feeding guide, the daily intake of raw meat and bones for adult dogs is 2-3% of their body weight. According to 3% estimates, a five kilogram dog needs about one kilogram of raw meat and bones per week. (3%X5X7=1.05kg).

Adult dogs only need to be fed raw meat and bones once a day. If the dog is overweight, he may fast for one or two days a week.

Generally speaking, young dogs need more raw meat and bones than adult dogs, and the actual food intake varies from dog to dog. The rule is to give itThey provide enough raw meat bones and water so that they can eat, drink, rest and play at any time, or feed them three times a day with raw meat bones. Wrap the uneaten raw meat bones from the previous meal and store them in the refrigerator. You can continue to eat them at the next meal until they are finished.

In its natural form, the ideal food for dogs is the whole animal. Since there are certain limitations to raising whole animals in cities, the second best option is raw meat bones, because raw meat bones are easy to find, affordable, and very effective. Dr. Tom's experience is that as long as raw meat and bones account for more than 70% of a dog's food intake (more than 80% for cats), the health of dogs and cats can be maintained. The remaining 30% of the food can be offal, vegetables, or even homemade food. If you agree, raw meat and bones can account for 80%, 90% or even 100% of your dog's food intake.

Dr. Tom often advises people to feed their dogs raw, large, meaty bones. There is meat but no bones, there are bones but no meat, and there are too many bones and too little meat to achieve nutritional and medicinal effects. The larger the volume of raw meat bones, the longer it takes the dog to eat, and the better the effect is:

 1. Adequate cleaning and massaging of teeth and gums is the only way to prevent oral disease in dogs. Dogs’ oral hygiene is the key to protecting their health.

 2. Let food and digestive enzymes work fully to help digestion and absorption of food.

3. Let the muscles of the jaw, neck, and upper limbs get exercise.

4. Because the bones and meat are wrapped together, it can prevent the bones from puncturing the pet's mouth and intestines. Large pieces of raw meat bones that the dog cannot swallow at one time can prevent digestive and respiratory obstruction caused by improper eating. Never cut raw meat and bones into small pieces. Not only will it not be effective in cleaning the dog's teeth, but dogs also tend to swallow items whole, and small pieces of raw meat and bones can be easily swallowed.
