Keeping your pets' raw food diet simple! - McDowell's Herbal Treatments

Whilst we may all try our best to feed our dogs a diverse and balanced diet, sometimes life can get too busy, and we get distracted and have to resort to more processed options. We have a simple solution...

Diesel

Grain-based commercial pet foods have always been pushed as being easy and convenient but consumers are demanding better quality, natural choices. Dry and tinned food is fine on the odd occasion but basing your pets entire diet on them can start to cause problems.

If our own diet consisted of tinned food, dry snacks and treats we'd surely be feeling pretty unhealthy pretty quickly!

Processed, tinned pet food has been known to contain cheap ingredients - high levels of salt, grain-based fillers, by-product meal and other questionable ingredients. 

What's the solution?

A raw and natural diet is the best to option optimise your pet's appearance, vitality and general wellness. 

Some people get worried that they can't balance the dietary requirements like a pet food manufacturer does.

Observing your pet's weight, appetite, thirst, breathing patterns, coat condition, elimination (constipation/diarrhoea ), urine output and comfort in movement is a great way to identify your oets general health and wellbeing. We notice these things everyday. 
Learn to know your dog when he is well and happy and then you will be on the look out for the times when he may not feel so well.

A raw dog food diet might consist of:
  • Muscle meat (sometimes on the bone)
  • Bones, either whole or ground
  • Raw eggs
  • Organ meats such as livers and kidneys
  • Vegetables like broccoli, spinach, and celery
  • Apples or other fruit
  • Small amount of plain, unsweetened yogurt
Using herbs and wholefoods
Herbs are ideal “food as medicine”. Using common culinary herbs regularly as well as herbal teas add nutritional diversity and flavour to your pet's meals. Medicinal herbs like our tinctures are specialised and should be given as directed on the labels.
We have also formulated some general wellbeing formulas to add to your dog's diet that help to add to the nutritional profile of the diet.
