Raw Diet Models & Tips
Starting Raw Feeding! Guides and Tips for new feeders ๐๐ฉ๐ผโ๐ป
One of the best things to do when researching or starting off with raw feeding is to figure out which diet model you want to do with your pet! Some dog do better with some fibers and veggies, like my older girls who are always hungry. On the other hand, some shouldnโt have any plant matter at all, like pets suffering from skin/coat or yeast issues. Testing out each is important to successfully reaching your petโs optimal health! ๐ฅฉ๐ฅฆ๐ป
These guides will give you an introductory look at what goes into each raw diet model. Keep in mind that these are just general frameworks and what you decide to do with your dog or cat can be different depending on their singular needs! ๐ถ For example, we follow PMR ratios but still add purรฉed fruits and veggies, dairy products, and supplements tailored to each animal that arenโt usually included in the PMR model! This is what works to keep our babies feeling their absolute best ๐ฝ๐ช๐ผ๐ง
Another thing I like to mention, is to not rush the process! If you or your pet are more comfortable starting with a store bought raw, or just adding a little bit at a time- Some Raw is ALWAYS better than none at all! Take it at your own pace, learn, try new things, and have fun with it!
โผ๏ธThe most important note is one which I feel necessary to include only because of the excessive fear mongering going on about raw diets:
Keep it clean! THOROUGHLY Disinfect surfaces and tools after prepping meals, and wash bowls and the areas where they eat as frequently as you feel necessary! You can never be too clean, if only for your own sake. Our pets are lucky to have bodies built to kill and resist food-borne Bactria, but that doesnโt mean you donโt have to take sanitation lightly ๐ท๐
