I hope this helps, I have only been on raw since Saturday so I have not really had time to see how much it will cost in the long run. | |

Raw diets provide nutrition the way nature intended. Nature’s Variety Raw Frozen Diets are formulated like the ancestral diet with 95% meat, organs, and raw ground bone, and with wholesome fruits and vegetables. Dogs and cats are meat eaters by nature. A diet consisting primarily of raw meat, organ meats, bone, and fat reflects what your pet would eat in its natural habitat. Since dogs and cats are carnivores by nature, they thrive on a diet rich in nutritious meat. The Gold Standard – Real, Fresh, and 100% Natural Proper nutrition can help pets attain – and maintain – a healthy body and a happy life. Many of the benefits of optimal nutrition include a lush & glossy coat, healthy skin, lean muscle tone, a robust immune system, strong bones and teeth, a healthy heart, proper digestion, and increased energy & vitality. At Nature's Variety, we believe natural is best – and a raw (uncooked) diet is as natural as you can get! Since raw diets provide nutrition the way nature intended, they are truly "the gold standard" of nutrition for your special pets. Cooking food causes proteins to denature, and many become distorted or damaged, essentially destroying their biochemical identity. We believe raw diets are superior to cooked diets because the proteins, vitamins, and minerals are more intact and more bio-available, meaning they are available for your pet to utilize and benefit from. Additionally, raw meat is about 60-70% moisture, and is an excellent source of dietary water. Adequate water intake is considered by many veterinarians to be the first line of defense against kidney and urinary disease. When we say 100% natural, we mean just that! Our raw diets are not pasteurized, and we do not use synthetic vitamins or minerals. Every ingredient is real, fresh, and thoughtfully included to create a complete and balanced diet. Nature's Variety Raw Frozen Diets are available in a variety of unique proteins, including chicken, rabbit, venison, beef, lamb, and organic chicken – nourishing pets with the delicious, natural tastes as nature intended for them. Our Raw Frozen Diets are also available in a variety of convenient sizes, making them quick and easy to serve. | |

Yay for Keoki!! I have to be honest and say that I just switched him over right away I know that is a bad thing but he really did so good on it that I just couldn't stand giving him his old food. He has never had a problem when I switch his food before though so I am sure others would need to introduce it slowly if there baby has problems with that. Okay, so a little about probiotics. Ralphie has had magor problems with several intestinal parasites in the past (coccidia and giardia). All of the antibiotics that he was on over the months (they were very stubborn) stripped his intestines of all the good bacteria. This little guy has had "poopy" issues since I have had him. It is always way too soft and messy and I can tell that his tummy bothers him even though we got rid of the parasites a while ago. Probiotics help support a healthy digestive tract using live naturally occurring micro-organisms. I finally found one in a powder form and I just sprinkle it over every meal. Just since Saturday his poopy is really tiny and hard and it doesn't smell bad. And let me tell ya, he used to have some serious stinkers | |
