Feeding Real

Clearing up common myths about feeding dogs a real food diet

Debunking Myths

Common Raw Feeding Misconceptions

Many dog owners hesitate to explore raw feeding due to persistent myths. Let's clarify the facts and separate common misunderstandings from the truth about canine nutrition.

Myth: Raw Diets Lack Balance

Myth: Dogs are Omnivores

Myth: It's Too Complicated or Costly

Many believe raw feeding can't provide complete nutrition. With careful planning and ingredient rotation, a well-formulated raw diet offers all essential nutrients for canine health.

Many believe feeding real and raw food is unnecessary because dogs are not carnivores. This is untrue. Dogs are facultative carnivores, with no nutritional need for carbohydrates. They thrive on a meat based, protein rich diet.

While it can seem daunting, raw feeding doesn't have to be expensive or complex. Simple, balanced recipes and bulk buying can make it accessible and manageable for any budget.

Myth: Raw Food is Unsafe

Concerns about bacteria are common. Just like handling raw meat for human meals, proper hygiene, storage, and sourcing make raw feeding perfectly safe for dogs and their families.

Common Fresh Feeding Mistakes

While transitioning your dog to a fresh diet is a powerful step toward health, simple formulation errors can unknowingly lead to severe, long-term nutritional deficiencies.

The 'Meat Only' Trap

Lack of Variety

Over Supplementation

Feeding only muscle meat without calcium-rich bones, secreting and muscular organs, fur/fiber, and seafood, can lead to severe imbalances

A major misconception is that simply feeding the same food every day is still okay as long as it is real food. I see a lot of people feeding chicken and rice or chicken and broccoli and this can be very harmful. By providing balanced variety, we leave no nutritional gaps

Adding synthetic vitamins to an already complete fresh diet can cause toxic build-ups, and nutrient difficiencies, as synthetic vitamins block natural vitamin sources from being properly absorbed by the body and can contribute to toxic load on the body.
