10 Reasons to Feed Your Dog a Raw Diet
Biologically Appropriate Nutrition – Dogs thrive on a diet that mimics what their ancestors ate in the wild: raw meat, bones, and organs. Feeding raw provides your dog with real, nutritionally dense food and the protein they need to thrive - no fillers, additives, or preservatives!
Healthier Skin & Coat – The natural fats, omega-3s, and nutrient-dense ingredients in raw food promote a shiny coat and healthy skin.
Improved Digestion – High-quality raw food is free from unnecessary fillers, making it easier for dogs to digest and absorb nutrients.
Stronger Immune System – A balanced raw diet provides essential vitamins and minerals that help support a robust immune response.
Better Dental Health – Chewing raw meaty bones and natural ingredients helps reduce plaque buildup and improve oral hygiene.
Increased Energy Levels – Dogs on raw diets often experience better stamina and overall vitality.
Maintains a Healthy Weight – Without processed fillers and carbs, raw-fed dogs maintain lean muscle and a healthy body composition.
Fewer Allergies & Sensitivities – Many commercial kibbles contain common allergens like grains, artificial additives, and preservatives that can trigger skin and digestive issues.
Reduced Stool Volume & Odor – With better nutrient absorption, waste output is smaller, firmer, and less smelly.
Supports Joint Health – Naturally occurring glucosamine and chondroitin from raw meaty bones help keep joints strong and mobile.
What to Look for When Choosing Raw Dog Food
Not all raw diets are created equal! When choosing a raw food brand, consider these key factors:
Ingredient Quality – Look for whole, high-quality meats and organs, free from fillers, grains, and artificial additives.
Balanced Nutrition – A proper raw diet should follow the 80/10/10 rule (80% muscle meat, 10% bone, 10% organ) or include a well-researched balance of proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals.
Sourcing & Transparency – Choose a company that prioritizes ethically sourced, human-grade ingredients and provides clear information about their products.
Proper Handling & Storage – Make sure the brand follows strict safety protocols to prevent contamination and ensure freshness.
Why Quality and Balance Matter
Feeding raw isn’t just about tossing your dog some raw meat—it requires the right balance of nutrients to ensure your pup stays healthy. Best of Both Worlds K9 Raw is crafted to provide complete and balanced nutrition, meaning every meal is carefully formulated to give your dog the essential proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals they need to thrive.
Investing in a high-quality, well-balanced raw diet is one of the best things you can do for your dog’s long-term health. At Grace K9, we’ve chosen Best of Both Worlds K9 Raw because it meets our highest standards for safety, nutrition, and quality. We wouldn’t offer anything we wouldn’t feed to our own dogs!
