Benefits

The benefits of feeding a raw food diet regime to your dog are so numerous that it's almost overwhelming, but they are awesome!  
 
Improvement of oral health
  
Most diseases are precipitated by the build up of tarter and plaque on the teeth, resulting in excessive levels of bacteria entering the blood stream. This bacteria then overburdens the immune system and leads to an overall deterioration of the organ systems .

Eating raw foods facilitates the physical scrubbing of the teeth. The extended chewing time required to eat raw foods increases the production of the beneficial antibodies and enzymes necessary to counter detrimental oral bacteria.

The result is  strong, clean, white teeth, no “doggy breathe” and an improvement of overall health.
  
Joint Support & Increased Energy
 
Lethargy , joint stiffness and reluctance to move, which are often seen to be “signs” of “old age” can be alleviated by a raw diet, to the point that your dog may again be acting “like a puppy”.
