A raw diet recreates the way our pet's ancestors have eaten in the wild for thousands of years. Dogs and cats are carnivores. Left to their own devices, their typical daily diet, like that of their wild cousins (wolves and the big cats), would involve catching (or finding) and eating another animal.
When a carnivore eats an herbivore (plant and grass eating animal) like a rabbit or a deer, the carnivore eats some meat, some bone, some organ meats (liver, heart, kidney, etc.), and a small amount of green vegetation contained in the herbivore's digestive tract. These ingredients are the four main food groups of a good raw diet.
* Fresh, raw meat
* Some uncooked bone
* Some raw organ meats
* Some green vegetation
A raw diet returns our pets to this more natural form of nutrition as if they had hunted and caught their "perfect" dinner.
In addition, a natural diet also has the added benefits of cleaner teeth, a lot less body odor, and best of all, stools that are smaller, firmer and less odorous
