It is an struggle to return to the type of supplies a dog would naturally eat. Obviously a dog can not be unliable to skiver its own prey as his wild cousins do, so we have to requite him the constituents to make up the varied meals that hunting and scavenging would provide.During Great Grandma’s time “dog food” came into being, It was a processed mixture made up largely from the waste products of the bakery trade. Thankfully commercial foods have improved profoundly since then but they are still very variegated from the raw supplies that dogs evolved to eat. Evolutionary transpiration occurred over thousands of years. Great Grandma lived only a hundred years ago. Yet, commercial dog supplies has wilt the norm and is what most dogs are fed on today.Doing it Naturally....All animals on earth have spent millions of years evolving to their environment, and will be perfectly well-timed to their natural diet. Simply by copying this nutrition we can make a nutritious and fully well-turned nutrition for any species of animal, though often we have to make do with sensible alternatives to the real thing. For example, Cats are hunters that slosh prey such as Rabbits and Birds. Whole live prey would be a perfect supplies and strictly speaking anything other than a whole, live unprepossessing is not 'natural'. In practice we will segregate we as humans will segregate increasingly user-friendly and increasingly socially winning alternatives- This is where Nurturing by Nature steps in!Feeding a Cat a dried, pelleted supplies full of cooked cereal is well-nigh as far from platonic as possible, though it may be unseemly and convenient. Moreover such diets can lead to all sorts of health problems such as obesity, diabetes, digestive upsets, bladder stones. These diseases are often slow in developing, and this is why we tend to see them as something our pets happen to get, rather than something that has been caused by feeding a less than perfect diet.Planefoods from major pet supplies brands can rationalization such diseases, so much that they plane produce diets to help try and correct these problems. You can purchase diabetic diet, urinary nutrition and increasingly touching-up foods from your vets!Our aim is provide you with a natural volitional to the commercial pet foods, we can help to prevent these problems from plane happening in the first place. We Raw feeders scrutinizingly unchangingly find our pets to be healthier, with greater vitality and often largest behaved than those on the commercial foods. Pets with chronic diseases that have failed to respond to modern veterinary treatments will often be much largest simply by feeding them a Raw diet. Diabetic cats are a perfect example of this. In order to feed a natural nutrition it is important to understand the needs of our pets. For example Cats are 'obligate' carnivores, this ways that they only need to eat Meat based diets, in fact they should only eat 'tiny' amounts of starchy foods if any at all.Dogs are variegated to Cats, they are 'facultative' carnivores, that are primarily prey eaters, they will scavenge and eat vegetable matter, particularly when times are hard. This is why we feed the fruit and veg mix with our dogs food, it replicates the ground vegetable and grass matter that is found in the stomach of the prey unprepossessing subtracting uneaten vitamins and minerals. How do I Feed Raw?We have two methods that we advise, both of which work very well, but it is up to individuals to decide which is the most suitable way for them.DOGS:Please alimony in mind the pursuit –Most dogs will loose weight in the first week or so as their persons loose fat. Muscle will start to build but takes longer to do so than the fat loss.The correct value of meat for each dog is very individual and will vary depending on the dog’s age, successors type, exercise value and attitude.Do not mix raw and commercial nutrition in the same meal.Allow approximately 12 hours for a commercial meal to pass out of the dog’s stomach surpassing feeding a raw meal.Allow at least 4 hours for a raw meal to pass out of the dog’s stomach surpassing feeding the next meal.Dogs quite often fast themselves and do not naturally feed at regular times every day – if your dog refuses his meal take it up, refrigerate it and offer it then at the next meal time.Bone firms the dog’s faeces and you will notice they are much harder and less offensive.Do not leave supplies down.Feed fruit and vegetable mix to tolerance, some dogs love them while others do not.Methods:THE BASICS
 (These are the same for either method)We usually start with plain minced yellow as most dogs seem worldly-wise to cope with this meat very well and it has some fine minced unorthodoxy in with the meat.Take the injudicious platonic weight of the dog.For every 10 Kg of the dogs weight indulge 100 grams of meat. This is just a starting weight, the unstipulated recommended feeding value on a Raw nutrition is 2-3% of the animals bodyweight in meat/bone per day. This will moreover vary with your pet's Metabolism, Weight, Age, Exercise and Breed/Size.Please remember that each unprepossessing is very different, just as we humans are. Method ONE - By DegreesDay OneAM - feed one sixth of the dog’s daily meat requirement and a small spoonful of fruit and vegetable mixtureP M - Feed a normal meal (1/2 of daily requirement) of the dog’ s normal foodDay TwoA M - Feed two sixths of the dogs daily meat requirement and two small spoonful’s of fruit and vegetable mixP M - Feed a normal meal of the dog’s normal foodDay ThreeA M - Feed one half of the dogs daily meat requirement and four small spoonful’s of fruit and vegetable mixP M - Feed a normal meal of the dog’s normal foodDay FourAM – Repeat AM of Day ThreePM – Repeat AM of Day ThreeFrom Day Five to Day TenRepeat Day FourGradually you can increase the meat to twice the value if your dog seems to want increasingly and is still loosing weight.Method TWO - 100%Day OneA M – feed one sixth of the dog’s daily meat requirement and a small spoonful of fruit and vegetable mixturePM – repeat of AMDay TwoA M – feed two sixths of the dogs daily meat requirement and two small spoonful’s of fruit and vegetable mixPM – repeat Day Two AMDay ThreeA M – feed one half of the dogs daily meat requirement and four spoonful of fruit and vegetable mix.PM – Repeat AM of Day ThreeDay Four to TenGradually increase the value of supplies to up to twice the previous daily value if your dog still seems to be looking for supplies and is loosing weightDay Ten onwardsFrom this point the methods wilt one. CATS:You should not indulge a cat to go without supplies for increasingly than 24hrs.Please do not leave supplies lanugo for the cats to graze during the day - it is important to establish meal times.This stuff the specimen we recommend that a small value of raw supplies is offered at breakfast time (just a teaspoon full to start with) If the cat takes to it and eats it all - offer flipside small spoon full. Repeat this then in the evening.Next morning offer a little increasingly and gradually increase the value over the next three days to be feeding 100g per cat per meal. From then onwards retread the quantity to the individual cat. Try to get the cats to winnow a good variety of variegated meats and without a week or so offer larger portions of whole supplies - yellow wings are ideal.Some cats can be a little increasingly difficult to be convinced that raw is really good for them.One of the problems is due to the naturally occurring sugars which are a by product of processing tinned or pouched foods. Cats can wilt fond to these sugars.If your cat will not plane try the raw mince yellow put the usual supplies withal side it in the same dish. Repeat this then in the evening offering the raw on it own first. Continue to do this every day, twice a day, for the next week.It does midpoint that you may have to throw a bit of raw yonder each day (a dog can be very useful here in disposing of any leftovers for you!) But do not be tempted to leave it lanugo for any longer than 10 minutes (or until your cat has walked yonder from its meal) and do not try to offer the previous raw meal later in the day or the pursuit day.Cats need fresh supplies and their lives depend on it - unlike dogs who are designed to eat stale (even "off" food)After a week, loosely and gently fold the raw and processed foods together. Your cats should still be worldly-wise to pick out the shit they want to eat.Once your cats are eating a bit of the raw, withal with the processed food, mix it together more.When they are happily eating the mix gradually subtract the commercial supplies and increase the raw portion until you are feeding just the raw food.Introduce as many varieties of raw foods as possible using the yellow as the wiring meat.After introducing a new meat go when to the yellow so this gives you something to compare to.Do feed a mix of meat with offal in moderation, two or three times a week, but remember that offal make the motions looser.As you and your dog progress with raw feeding try to feed the meat in as natural a form as possible i.e. whole rabbit with fur on or a fully feathered pheasant! Any part of the meal that is left can be refrigerated for the next day.A word of translating here - you may want your dog to eat this sort of meal outside in the garden!FAQ'sQ: We are considering a transpiration of nutrition for our Chocolate Labrador, he is 35 kilos in weight. We are thinking of feeding him the minced yellow and a vegetable supplement to go with it. How much would you recommend we feed him a day and could you requite us a rough guide on how much this would forfeit to feed him per week. A: An sultana dog will need to eat between 2-3% of their soul weight. If your dog is overweight your can feed as little as 1% to get them to their optimum weight. It is recommended you should feed to your dogs platonic weight rather than their current weight if they are too fat or too thin. If that is 35kg then he will need 700g to 1kg of meat per day plus veg.Our minces start from £1.19 for 700g of MincedYellowto £3.32 for 700g of MincedYellowand Game (Rabbit/Venison) so realistically you will be looking at spending well-nigh £1.50 per day when you feed a mixture of meats, veg and bones.I recommend popping into one of the stores if you are local and this will requite you a good idea of what’s available.
