RAW FEEDING OPTIONS: If you do not want to use kibble, or only part kibble, here are some raw diet options BARF - RAW FOODS BASICS - Understanding
their Usage
Editorial Comment: This whole feeding raw concept is new to pet owners so before I provide
you with a list of raw food companies, I am going to get on my soap
box. I want to talk about the new wave of "no grain", BARF
and so called Raw diets that have hit the market in the past few years.
First, I want to caution you, that NONE of these new companies have
done any feed trials and only one of these companies has any longevity,
something that is very important to me. The man solely responsible for addressing issues on how we fed our pets, what was wrong with what commercial diets and what we needed to do to change them, is Dr. Randy Wysong, in the 1970's. So do yourself pet an enormous favor and learn about Dr. Randy Wysong, the pioneer in pet holistic nutrition. Please go to his website, read the educational material and then make yourself familiar with his products. Call the company for suggestions for your pet's diet. Dr. Wysong is one of my long time "nutritional" hero in animal nutrition. He has the best understanding of what is needed and how to supply it for your pet's total wellness. If you are going to feed raw holistic use Dr. Wysongs, tried, true and tested product - plus he is his own manufacturer! Advertised As Complete Diets: All these listed below are are meat, veggie, fruit "balanced" diets and can be use by alone or mixed with a quality kibble.
Raw Meats:
Do not feed straight raw or cooked meat only without the bone, and do not use a meat/rice mixture as this unbalances your calcium / phosphorus levels of your dog food. If you need a balanced bland diet I can provide one for you. Grain Fruit Veggie Diets - You Add The Meat Component These foods are a preparation of whole grains, fruits and veggies. You must supply the meat protein and follow their directions exactly or you can unbalance the diet.
Commercial Kibble - You Can Add 20% raw meat depending on the brand - call for instructions! IF USING ANY RAW MEATS..... Oxy-Drops are a safe, liquid compound that has demonstrated efficacy as a bactericidal, fungicidal and virucidal agent. Oxy-Drops are important for animals that are on diets that include raw meat. This will help to keep the pathogenic bacteria from being a problem. Also breeds that are prone to bloat need Oxy- Drops because it helps to keep an overgrowth of bad bacteria supressed in the gut. If the bloating is caused by systemic fungus (Leaky Gut Syndrome) or pathogenic bacteria (Toxic Gut Syndrome), Oxy-Drops along with Probiotics may help keep these in check, as well as help maintain the correct pH of the gut. Oxy-Drops enhances the immune system and second it releases slowly and oxidizes, cleaning toxins from the body. Oxy-Drops acts on the organism at cellular level with no unwanted side effects. The best use of Oxydrops is to mix according to instructions and pour over the dogs food daily. Oxy-Drops have many other applications, in a diluted form. For other uses see the websites below.
