Raw Feeding
Raw feeding for dogs is a natural and nutritious way to provide our dogs with a diet that is biologically appropriate for their bodies. It involves feeding a variety of raw meat, bones, and organs, which can provide numerous benefits for dogs. All of our dogs at Retriever Buddies Goldens are fed a balanced raw diet.
While some dog owners choose to make their own raw dog food, this can be time-consuming and requires a great deal of research to ensure that the diet is balanced. However, there are now many commercially available raw dog food options that are balanced to meet AAFCO standards and follow HACCP protocols to ensure safety and quality. These products are convenient and can provide peace of mind for pet owners who want to ensure that their dog is getting all the necessary nutrients. It is crucial to provide puppies with well-balanced meals while they are growing, especially for those who are new to raw feeding, and opting for a commercial raw blend may be a safer and more practical choice.
Raw feeding can improve digestion, promote healthier skin and coats, increase energy, and support the immune system.
Overall, raw feeding is a great option for pet owners who want to provide their dogs with a natural, nutrient-rich diet that supports their overall health and well-being.
