Quality Raw Pet Food in Vancouver

What Is Raw Pet Food?​

A raw diet usually includes meat, muscle meat, whole or ground bone, raw eggs, dog-safe fresh fruits and vegetables, and dairy products like yogurt. Raw foods are gaining increased popularity among pet parents. Whether a dog or a cat, nutritious raw food diets help pets maintain a healthier life. Their digestive systems are designed to thrive on raw pet food, making them energetic, playful, and lively.

​

​If you are considering introducing raw food to your pet's diet, we suggest getting your pet to fast for a half-day or a full day before the first meal to ensure a good appetite. Also, they should be fed smaller portions to see how they handle the fresh food. If your pet readily eats the new food, continue by replacing a little bit of the original intake with the latest raw diet. A mixture of a raw diet and other food portions can have tremendous benefits for your pet. Raw foods are typically protein-rich and ideal for growing or adult dogs.

Why Feed Raw Pet Food?

Feeding raw pet food provides a biologically appropriate diet that aligns with dogs' and cats' natural dietary needs.

 

• Nutritional benefits
  Raw pet food consists of unprocessed, natural ingredients that help maintain essential nutrients. Unlike heavily processed kibble, raw diets typically include fresh meat, organs, bones, and vegetables, supplying pets with a balanced intake of proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. This approach helps support muscle development, joint health, and a strong immune system.

 

• Improved digestion
  Raw food is naturally rich in enzymes and beneficial bacteria, aiding digestion and nutrient absorption. Many pets experience reduced bloating, firmer stools, and improved gut health when transitioning to a raw diet. The absence of artificial fillers, preservatives, and excessive carbohydrates minimizes digestive stress.

 

• Healthier skin and coat
  A diet high in essential fatty acids, such as those in raw meats and fish, contributes to a shinier coat and healthier skin. Pet owners often notice reduced shedding, less dander, and fewer skin irritations when feeding a raw diet. These improvements are mainly due to the absence of artificial additives and including natural, bioavailable nutrients.

 

• Dental health benefits
  Raw, meaty bones and whole ingredients encourage natural chewing, promoting stronger teeth and gums. Unlike processed pet food, which can leave behind residue and contribute to plaque buildup, raw diets help reduce tartar accumulation and support overall oral health.

 

• Weight management and energy levels
  Raw pet food provides a species-appropriate balance of proteins and fats, allowing pets to maintain a healthy weight. Since raw diets lack high levels of carbohydrates and unnecessary fillers, they help regulate blood sugar levels, reduce the risk of obesity, and sustain consistent energy throughout the day.

 

• Sourcing and quality control
  Natural Raw Pet Food aims to provide raw pet food in Vancouver using responsibly sourced, high-quality ingredients. Our team ensures that all products meet strict safety and nutritional standards, offering pet owners a reliable source of fresh, balanced raw meals.

 

• Transitioning to a raw diet
  Switching to raw feeding should be done gradually to allow a pet's digestive system to adjust. Starting with small portions and monitoring changes in digestion, energy levels, and overall health can help ensure a smooth transition. Consulting a veterinarian before making dietary changes is also recommended.

Understanding Raw Pet Food Ingredients

When it comes to feeding your beloved pets, understanding the ingredients in their food is crucial. Raw pet food is known for its wholesome and natural components, providing essential nutrients for furry friends. Here are some key ingredients commonly found in raw pet food and their benefits:
 

• High-Quality Protein Sources: Raw pet food typically includes high-quality protein sources such as lean meats like chicken, turkey, beef, and fish. These proteins are essential for muscle development, energy, and overall health.
   

• Healthy fats: Raw pet food often contains healthy fats like omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, usually derived from fish oil, flaxseed, and chicken fat. These fats support skin and coat health, joint function, and cognitive development.
   

• Natural vitamins and minerals: Raw pet food is rich in natural vitamins and minerals from fresh fruits and vegetables. These include vitamins A, C, E, and B complex and minerals like calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium. These nutrients are vital for immune function, bone health, and well-being.
   

• Enzymes and probiotics: Raw pet food often contains natural enzymes and probiotics that aid digestion and promote gut health. These beneficial microorganisms help maintain a healthy digestive system, reduce gastrointestinal issues, and improve nutrient absorption.
   

• Whole grains (optional): Some raw pet food recipes may include whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, or oats for added fibre and energy. However, it's important to note that not all pets require grains, especially those with grain sensitivities or allergies.
   

By understanding these key ingredients in raw pet food, you can make informed choices about your pet's diet and ensure they receive a balanced and nutritious meal every time. Contact us today to know more!

Transitioning to a Raw Food Diet

Transitioning your pet to a raw diet requires careful planning and gradual adjustments to their meal routine. Here are some tips for a smooth transition:
 

• Consult with a veterinarian: Before making any dietary changes, consult with your veterinarian to ensure that a raw food diet suits your pet's age, health condition, and nutritional needs. They can provide guidance on transitioning and recommend appropriate food choices.
   

• Gradual introduction: Start by gradually introducing small amounts of raw food into your pet's diet while progressively reducing portions. This will allow your pet's digestive system to adapt to the new diet without causing any discomfort.
   

• Monitor digestive health: Pay close attention to your pet's digestive health during transition. Look for signs of diarrhea, constipation, or gastrointestinal upset, and adjust the transition pace accordingly. Slow down if needed to allow your pet's system to change.
   

• Variety and balance: Offer a variety of protein sources, fruits, vegetables, and supplements to ensure a balanced diet. Rotate different protein sources to provide essential nutrients and prevent dietary imbalances.
   

• Hydration and freshwater: Always give your pet clean water to encourage hydration. Hydration is essential for overall health, especially when transitioning to a new diet.
   

By following these tips and monitoring your pet's response, you can successfully transition your pet to a raw food diet and provide optimal nutrition for a happy and healthy life.
