Background on a natural diet
A natural diet for dogs is an approach based on providing fresh, balanced food sourced only from natural ingredients, similar to what a dog would eat in the wild. This diet includes raw or cooked meat, edible bones, fresh vegetables and fruits, and sometimes natural supplements to maintain full nutritional balance. This approach is also sometimes called the BARF diet (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) and focuses on meeting nutritional needs suited to the dog’s digestive system. Unlike processed dry food, a natural diet emphasizes the use of ingredients free of chemicals, preservatives, and food coloring. To succeed with this approach, it is very important to know the dog’s unique nutritional needs, such as the amount of protein, fats, and vitamins it requires, and to make sure the food is properly balanced in order to prevent deficiencies.
- Summary
A natural diet gives a dog many health benefits, thanks to the use of high-quality, fresh, unprocessed ingredients. Dogs fed a natural diet are often reported to have a shinier, healthier coat, less irritated skin, and a reduction in allergic reactions. The natural food also supports easier digestion and reduces problems such as gas or abnormal stools. The absence of chemicals and artificial substances reduces the load on the kidneys and liver, which contributes to the dog’s overall health over time. In addition, a natural diet provides the dog with an abundance of essential nutrients that contribute to a strong immune system, the maintenance of a healthy weight, and an improvement in its energy and vitality. Beyond that, some studies indicate that a natural diet may reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, joint problems, and even certain types of cancer.
