Raw Pet Food

cat dogLike we humans, dogs and cats are mammals and while their diet relies more on meat than vegetables, the same principles of heating food apply.

To support this statement, there was a well-known series of studies performed by Dr. Francis M. Pottenger between the years 1932 and 1942. His study was done on seven generations of a colony of cats. He fed half of the animals an all raw food diet, and the other half the same foods except that they were cooked. After only three generations on the cooked cat food, those cats were no longer able to reproduce. Mouth and gum infections, arthritis, bladder pupproblems, heart lesions, irritable bowel syndrome, and thyroid problems also became common in the cats on the cooked cat foods. And many of these health issues are common in today’s pets. On the contrary, the cats on the raw cat food remained completely healthy and needed no veterinary attention. kityDr. Pottenger then switched the weakened colony of cats back to all raw cat foods and after four generations the cats had a complete recovery from the ill-effects of the cooked pet food.

Because dogs and cats are very similar to us, and because the principles of heating food apply to all food, it only makes sense that our pets will benefit with the same rewards from eating a raw food diet.

Give them a piece of raw meat and watch them go for it.  That is the way they are supposed to eat.  Visit the Raw Magic Super Store and find raw foods for your dogs and cats.  They thrive on raw food.
