Fresh Organic Raw Dog Food

Many people lately have asked me how I feed my dog and how can they do the same for theirs. So I decided to make a video demonstrating exactly how to make fresh living food for your dog. In the picture is my dog Crystal, a 9 year old white standard poodle. She has NEVER eaten anything except organic home made food, and never been sick in any way. She did have some digestive problems, like passing gas and burping the first year of her life when I fed her cooked food. From 8 weeks old until she was 1 year, I cooked her organic rice with vegetables and various meats. Along with these she got green powder and various other superfoods as well as raw beef bones to chew. She has again never had a pig skin, rawhide or any store bought toy, biscuit, food or chew. If you could see her live, you probably would not believe her age and her energy level, let alone her manners and intuitive abilities. They are phenomenal! What a perfect intelligent angel. I believe most of this comes from the food I feed her. Although she eats some meat, it is only about 40% of her diet, the other 60% is fruit, vegetables and superfoods. Basically she eats an alkaline diet, which is foreign to most dogs, as well as their owners. If you can get past your brain and fears, this is the very best diet for your pet, and it's easy to do, just watch the video and see how.

Let's discuss a few of the attributes of this diet for your dog.

• Eyes brighten and clear up, no more running or gook in the corners
• Allergies improve and disappear
• Hair or coat becomes softer, shiner and healthy
• Energy and vitality increase
• Fluid in ears disappears
• Bad breath freshens and teeth are healthier and whiter
• Hydration increases. and the need for drinking water decreases
• Innate senses sharpen
• Immune system functions increase their ability to fight off disease and infections
• Visits to the veterinarian decrease or become non existent, saving you time and money
• Heart and muscle mass improve and strengthen
• Stools reduce in size and become bio degradable
• Gas expulsion becomes a thing of the past. All food is completely digestible. No more silent embarrassing smells from the dog in front of your guests

These are the attributes I have experienced over the past 8 years with Crystal.

So why RAW? Here's some reasons why...

1. Nearly all the commercial dog food contains undigestible ingredients and euthanized animals. This is even true with most food recommended by a veterinarian , as they are in the business of treating SICK animals. Read this from the Animal Protection Institute
2. This diet allows the animals to eat the way they were originally designed to eat, not the way humans have conditioned then to eat.
3. If you are on the raw diet too, you both can enjoy the same basic meals. This allows for a closer bond to form between you and your pet. They LOVE eating what you eat.
4. The raw diet reduces or eliminates: allergies, dry skin and rashes, arthritis, gas, bloating, bad breath and inflammation anywhere in the body
5. The diet increases health, immune system function, fertility and quality of life
6. This raw diet increases energy, alertness and JOY!!
7. Consuming organic fresh fruits and vegetables helps heal the planet and future generations by supporting conscious, healthy farming practices, Everyone wins!

Ok, here's the BASICS...

• Always use as much certified organic produce and meat as possible, for both you and your pets
• Feed a mix of about 60% produce to 40% meat, fish, or poultry
• Be sure to vary the type of meat, poultry and fish you feed and include organ meats like liver, gizzards and heart
• You can if you choose feed raw chicken necks ( after they eat their regular meal ) to provide a source of calcium as well as to give them some chewing exercise for their jaw muscles. If you do not fell comfortable feeding these an option is raw eggs. Put 1-3 raw organic eggs into a blender and liquify. Add to your pet's food about 3 times per week
• Provide raw meaty bones, such as beef knuckle or shank, for dental health and chewing enjoyment, at least 2 times per week
• Never feed onions, grapes, raisins or chocolate. Some people also include green beans, tomatoes, avocado and garlic. I feed avocado and garlic and offer tomatoes and green beans.
• Feed enough food volume so your pet can eat all it wants and leave a little in the bowl. For my 60 lb dog I feed about 1/2 lb meat with 2-3 cups vegetable and fruit mixture, plus 2 snack meals per day of about 1 cup each
• Consider adding supplements such as:Pure Synergy, Vitamineral Green, coconut oil, fulvic minerals, sea vegetables such as kelp, dulse, sea lettuce, wakame, or marine phytoplankton and a tocotriene complex for anti oxidants and flavor
• Be sure your pets always have fresh filtered water available. I use ionized alkaline water with a few drops of Crystal Energy to make it more absorbable

Along with their regular food you can make them some special super delicious treats. Check on my Squidoo page for pictures and instructions to make those as well as for books and other website to read more about this awesome diet.

I usually make Crystal's food in batches, I keep 3 days worth in the refrigerator and freeze the rest. When we travel I just freeze everything and take it in an ice chest. It will last about 5 days and then you need to find a store to buy some commercially made frozen raw food. Whole Foods carries several brands that are good. My favorite is Primal. This is the only raw food I have found that uses all organic ingredients and does not use synthetic vitamins and minerals, everything comes from food. This is an excellent food.

Good luck, I hope this article has given you a little in site into what you are feeding your beloved pets, and maybe an option for something better, for everyone, you , your pet and our planet. Here's the video I made to show you just how easy it is to make your pets' food. Until next time....
