There are broadly 2 schools of thought about switching a dog or cat from processed pet food to raw.

The first is the take-no-prisoners approach of stopping the the food being fed one day, and starting 100% raw the next.

The second, is to transition gradually, by introducing a small amount of raw to begin with, and increasing this in stages every few days until 100% raw is being fed....

Ideally, the food you feed your pet should contain all the nutrients necessary to promote the very best of health.

More and more dogs and cats are reacting badly to what they are fed.

This often lies behind, digestive disturbances (Inflammatory Bowel Disease, bacterial overgrowths, intermittent vomiting, pancreatitis and colitis, for example), skin conditions (such as itching, eruptions, infections, scaling and hair loss) and a range of other health problems (e.g.... aggression, anxiety, lethargy, poor body condition)...

'Get your 5 a day.'

'An apple a day keeps the doctor away.'

We're so used to hearing of the benefits of vegetables and fruits in our diets, it's easy to think that the same must be true for our pets.

Why is adding offal to the diet so important?

Organs provide fatty acids, fat soluble vitamins and other nutrients vital for the healthy functioning of many parts of the body, especially the cardiovascular system, nerves, immune system, liver, kidneys, skin, endocrine glands and anti-inflammatory pathways.

We saw in article 1 of this series that carnivores need a diet rich in animal protein to supply the building blocks (amino acids) for healthy organs, tissues and cells.

It is also needed for the production of digestive enzymes, antibodies, hormones and many other 'functional' molecules in the body, without which a wide range of diseases affecting digestion, nerve function, musculoskeletal health, the immune system, skin, endocrine glands and many other parts of the body will occur....

Not one of us wants to lose our pets sooner than we have to - especially when the time spent together is so precious and often passes by in a flash.

With this in mind, anything which promotes a long, healthy and happy life is worth doing - and arguably the most important decision we make each day in this respect, is what food goes into our dogs and cats bodies.

A simple enough decision?

You'd think so, but as with most subjects, things are not as straight forward as they might first appear.

The foundation of a dog or cat's health lies in the quality of the food he or she eats...

And this story begins in the ground... Soil is the prime source of the minerals on which every living cell depends for its structure and function. Yet, all over the world minerals are vanishing from agricultural land at an alarming rate. In Europe alone for example, average mineral levels in soil have fallen by a staggering 72%.
