Despite their growing popularity, raw food diets for your dog may actually pose a threat to your dog’s health.

The benefits of the raw meat diet are: no diabetes, less risk of arthritis, shiny coat and healthy skin, no doggy odor, cleaner teeth and gums, no anal gland impaction, less risk of infected ears, kidney disease, cancer risk and a long list of diseases, can be avoided, less backyard clean-up, and fewer vet bills. Shall I go on? Check out the info at the Know Better Dog Food Company. |
