Raw Diet
Why Feed Raw?
Its simple, a Prey Model Raw diet is the only biologically appropriate diet for your carnivore. Switching a pet with an existing health problem to a raw diet can often result in improvement of their conditions. Healthy pets who start on a raw diet are more likely to avoid some of the illnesses that are common in kibble fed pets. Most importantly, wouldn't you like to know every single ingredient in your pets food?
Benefits of the Prey Model Raw Diet:
- Pets enjoy their food, and they look forward to meal time with excitement.
- Helps create a stronger, healthier immune system more resisistant to disease and ill-health.
- Healthy skin and coat with less shedding.
- Reduced dental work.
- Less hyperactivity, yet more energy.
- Better concentration.
- Better muscle tone and more stamina.
- Reduced flatulence and smaller, less often stools that deteriorate within 72 hours.
- Better digestion and gut health.
- Fresh food and you know what is in it.
How is Raw Dog Food Better than Kibble?
- Kibble fed dogs have a higher percentage of tooth decay and are in periodical need of dental cleanings by the veterinarian. loring, and preservatives have been added to extend shelf life with kibble.
- The source of meat is unknown to consumer.
- Many kibble manufacturers source their meat from rendering plants, meat unfit for human consumption, including chemically denatured meats and/or spoiled meats.
- Most kibble includes corn and corn syrup.
- Corn is a major contributor to canine diabetes and pancreatitic problems.
- Many kibble brands are repeatedly recalled for mold or samonella contamination in the kibble.
- Kibble fed dogs do not have the stomach acid to digest the occasional bone they get as a treat, and therefore risk injury to the stomach or intestine, as well as blockage.
- Kibble with its grain and sugar are a major contributors to cancer and arthritis.
- Kibble fed dogs have a higher percentage of tooth decay and are in periodical need of dental cleanings by the veterinarian.
Where Do I Buy This Food?
- Your usual stores for dog food do NOT carry this diet. The "Raw Diets" they carry are still made the same way as kibble and are usually partially cooked with poor quality ingredients.
- RawFedK9 is the most convenient supplier for a Prey Model Raw diet. They offer free shipping to your front door. Your pet needs a variety of proteins over the month to receive a fully balanced diet; 3 red meats and 1 white meat is recommended. USE CODE... REDBARNFARMSMINIS ... FOR 10% OFF!
- If you are feeding only 1 Miniature Dachshund, then I recommend purchasing the "Complete Mix - Sample Pack" from RawFedK9 which is 10lbs of fully balanced patties and will feed the average Miniature Dachshund for 40 days. In order to get the variety of proteins, always choose "Original" then "Trio" (Chicken/Beef/Pork blend) for Mix A, then selecting "Original" and any other red meat (duck, venison, quail) for Mix B. I'll have examples of this order posted.
- Does raw feeding not suit your lifestyle? Do you prefer a "scoop & serve" option? ZiwiPeak is an air-dried PMR diet option. All the same nutrients, just in a convienent "scoop & serve" option. However, I do not find this food to be as "engaging" for the pet. You can purchase Ziwi Peak on Amazon or Chewy; the 2.2 lb bag should last roughly 1 month (air-dried food weighs a lot less); just rotate varieties with every order.
- Do you have multiple pets and looking for a bulk, cheaper option? Just chat with me and we can try to find a local option for you where you can buy in bulk, like we do!
