Long Term Effects of Processed Foods
After four decades of working with new customers and their new puppies- I have seen the dramatic results of improper feeding practices. The degenerative diseases that I deal with every day are indications of the results of feeding a diet that is not biologically appropriate for the animal. Dry kibble diets contain high levels of soluble carbs that are causing several medical conditions. These are long term results that I am referring to- not short term. In the short term period you can raise a puppy on dry heat processed food and you may see a happy, thriving, growing puppy. However, many of the breeds we see today are having medical issues as a result of feeding this way.
Trendy Foods
Many of the nation’s dog population is considered obese or suffering from health concerns like allergies, digestion, and pancreatitis. Therefore, it is time to take a strong look at why and how to stop this trend. The same trend is happening with our children and it is equally alarming. The fast food craze is the same culprit as the heat processed kibble diets. They both are harmful precursors to future health conditions.
So what do I recommend as an alternative to this way of feeding? Simple solution! Feed your puppy what they were designed to eat according to the laws of Mother Nature. Their physiology dictates what they should be fed. Canine teeth are for ripping and tearing flesh, not eating grains. A shortened digestive tract suggests feeding a raw meat diet as stronger stomach acids help with digestion time and eliminate toxin development.
All these physiological qualities in your puppy suggest that a proper diet is a raw meat diet that mimics the natural prey found in nature. The BARF® DIET is designed as mother nature’s food. Follow Mother Nature's advice and you will have a lifetime of health benefits for your puppy.
