Here at Animush Raw Pet Food, we know you care about your pets, and we want to help you take the best possible care of them. If you have a dog, we recommend you feed them raw dog food rather than dry or canned food. Of course, you may have considered switching to a raw food diet already but are perhaps hesitating due to the misinformation surrounding raw dog food. In this article, we will go over a few of the most common myths about raw dog food and replace them with accurate information, so you can make the best choice for your pet.
- Myth: Raw dog food is nutritionally unbalanced. While some dog owners who try to feed their pets a diet of raw food struggle to ensure that the food contains all the necessary nutrients for their dog’s health, our team makes it easy. Our food is made of 100% Canadian-certified, human-grade, hormone- and antibiotic-free meat, and it is loaded with all the essential proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals your dog needs to thrive.
- Myth: Veterinarians oppose raw food diets. There is no universal consensus among veterinarians about raw dog food. Some vets have encountered pets who became malnourished due to unbalanced raw diets and are therefore opposed, while other vets have seen mostly positive outcomes from raw food diets. The only veterinarian’s opinion you need to pay attention to is that of your own vet.
- Myth: Raw dog food puts your pet at risk for salmonella. While it’s true that raw meat can sometimes harbor salmonella, responsible makers of raw dog food take extra precautions during preparation to ensure their food does not contain these bacteria. For example, our team keeps our preparation area and tools scrupulously clean, and we freeze our raw dog food to let the temperature kill off dangerous microbes.
