It is no secret that the most enriched and happy dogs are the ones eating the healthiest diets. For most dogs, this means a diet that is high in protein and low in grain-based carbohydrates. A lot of dogs have allergies to grain, and so may appear “fussy” around mealtimes, when the food is actually putting them into a state of gastric distress!
As more scientific research on canine wellbeing has emerged, it has become ever more popular to “raw feed” dogs. This means giving them a diet consisting mainly of raw meat and vegetables, to ensure that they are in peak health. However, raw-feeding is not without its pitfalls: some meat prepared for human consumption may be processed in a way which could irritate a dog; An owner putting together their dog’s meal plan may not know the precise proportions of different food groups to feed it, and therefore end up actually giving it an unbalanced diet; and third, there is a logistic pitfall of storing the raw food in a way that avoids cross-contamination, mess, and hassle. In steps 80/20 dog food!
