Following on from Crufts at the weekend, the team at Natures Menu answered some of our questions about a RAW diet and how their range can support this.
What are the main benefits of feeding dogs a Raw diet?
Raw feeding can offer a series of benefits for your dog. Feeding raw helps contribute to digestive wellbeing due to minimal processing and no artificial flavours, sugars or colourings, which is found in some pet foods.
With raw food containing 100% natural ingredients, your pup’s poos will become much more manageable in general, as well as less smelly. With the right quantities of carefully selected meats and offal, carefully blended with wholesome fruits and vegetables, these delicious ingredients can help to give your dog a glossy coat.
What do you recommend for fussy eaters?
Raw food has often been found to be irresistible to even the most fussiest of pooches! Offering raw meat, offal and tasty fruits and vegetables, raw feeding can often be the answer that many dog owners are looking for. Available in convenient formats that just require defrosting and feeding, flavours can be easily mixed and matched on a daily basis to suit your dogs’ preferences.
How does Natures Menu tailor its dried food range to help pet owners feed Raw?
Freeze drying is a minimally processed option that removes almost all of the water content without cooking. The process subsequently locks in the natural nutrients and flavours to offer digestive health benefits and the most convenient alternative to frozen raw.
The range is designed to be interchangeable with the Natures Menu 80:20 complete and balanced raw range. The ‘raw with no thaw’ format means it’s the best alternative to raw when owners don’t have access to a freezer and can be just poured and served straight from the pack making it ideal for when owners and pets are on the go.
At Crufts we see many breeds of dogs, are there any that specifically benefit from a Raw diet?
No dog is too old, too young, too small, or too big to try raw. It’s suitable for everyone and at Natures Menu we have a wide range to suit from the smallest Chihuahua or the largest Great Dane. We’re sure all will have waggy tails and licked-cleaned bowls after trying Natures Menu.
