From Rickets to Recovery: The Healing Power of Raw Food

Send us Fan Mail Raw feeding isn't just an alternative to kibble—it's the biologically appropriate diet dogs evolved to thrive on, providing all essential nutrients in their most bioavailable forms without harmful processed ingredients. Nutritionist Brian explains why kibble, invented only in 1956, has caused widespread health issues in dogs despite powerful marketing convincing owners it's appropriate. • Dogs are carnivores that can only handle 6-7% carbohydrates, yet most kibble contains 40-60% carbs • Commercial pet food was created as a way to dispose of toxic by-products that landfills wouldn't accept • The veterinary fear of bacteria in raw food is primarily about human exposure, not dog health • Rickets in puppies can be successfully treated with a proper raw diet containing bone, as demonstrated by rescue puppy Desi • Bone contains all minerals dogs need in perfect ratios and bioavailable forms that the body immediately recognizes • Most kibble-fed dogs appear much older than their age due to chronic inflammation and nutritional deficiencies • A proper raw diet must include meat, bones, organs and natural fat—without bones, it's not species-appropriate • Overweight dogs carry significantly more stress on their bodies—a 10-pound excess on a 50-pound dog is 20% of body weight • Puppies need raw food more than adults—the claim they need kibble "for proper nutrition" is completely unfounded • Raw-fed dogs demonstrate visible differences in energy, movement, and aging compared to kibble-fed dogs Visit rawdogfoodandcompany.com for free consultations with Brian and to learn how to transition your dog to a species-appropriate diet.
