The Advantages of Raw Feeding for Dog Dental Health

This Valentine's Day, love, caring, and connection are celebrated, and your dog is part of that love. Supporting dog dental health, an essential but frequently disregarded aspect of general wellness, is one of the most significant ways to express affection. At BARF World®, we think that one of the best and most natural methods to support strong
gums, healthy teeth, and long-term vitality in dogs is through raw feeding.

Give your dog a gift this Valentine's Day that goes beyond toys and treats: raw food that is biologically suitable and promotes oral health from the inside out.

The Significance of Dog Dental Health 

Fresh breath is just one aspect of dog oral health. One of the most prevalent diseases seen in veterinary treatment today is periodontal disease in dogs, which can be brought on by plaque and tartar accumulation. Gum inflammation, tooth decay, discomfort, and infection are all consequences of untreated dental illness. Additionally, oral bacteria can enter the bloodstream and potentially harm the kidneys, liver, and heart.

Carbohydrates found in many commercial dog feeds, such as kibble, break down into sugars and adhere to teeth. In addition to feeding dangerous germs, these leftovers cause plaque and tartar in canines. Nutrition is crucial in preventing dental problems before they arise, even though brushing is helpful.

How Natural Dog Dental Care Is Supported by Raw Feeding

The BARF® diet is intended to resemble the foods that dogs are naturally inclined to consume. The potential of raw dog food to provide natural dog dental care through texture and chewing is one of its main advantages.

Dogs must chew, shred, and use their jaws to manually eliminate plaque from their teeth when eating raw food. When dogs chew, raw meaty bones softly scrape their teeth, strengthening their jaw muscles and reducing tartar accumulation. Raw food does not stick to teeth or encourage the growth of bacteria in the mouth like kibble does.

Within weeks of switching to a raw feeding regimen, many pet parents report changes in their dog's breath, teeth, and gum health.

Chewing for Better Gums and Teeth

Chewing is an innate habit that is crucial to the health of a dog's teeth. Natural chews and raw bones encourage the production of saliva, which keeps the oral environment healthy and helps fight off dangerous microorganisms. Additionally, chewing can lessen anxiety and harmful habits while also enriching the mind.

Raw meaty bones are a valuable component of a balanced raw feeding regimen because they provide both nutrition and dental support when appropriately included.

Choosing raw feeding for dogs as a Valentine’s Day gift shows love in a meaningful way, by promoting comfort, longevity, and fewer dental problems over time.

Feed Them Correctly and Love Them Naturally

At BARF World®, we think that one of the most effective ways to express love is through raw feeding. Using biologically suitable raw food to support a dog's oral health promotes strong gums, lowers plaque and tartar, and enhances general wellbeing.

Give your dog a present of improved health, brighter teeth, and a naturally joyful smile on Valentine's Day to show them how much you care. Because love is something you feed, not just something you say.

"Does raw food help clean dogs'
teeth?"
is a question we are frequently asked.

Yes, is the answer. Chewing habits that lower plaque and naturally support healthy teeth and gums are encouraged by raw feeding. We suggest any of our natural chews as a more hygienic option to keep your pet active without the hassle of a raw meaty bone in your home.
