Organic Raw Meat Food Diet for Older Dogs

When it comes to the health of your senior dog, feeding an appropriate diet can make all the difference. Many dog foods contain ingredients that are not biologically appropriate for dogs. A diet of organic raw meat is much more similar to the diet dogs are designed to eat.

  1. Digestibility

    • Because organic raw meat doesn't contain fillers and additives like commercial kibbles, it is much easier for your senior dog (or any dog) to digest. Ridding your dog's diet of difficult-to-digest commercial foods ensures that your dog is getting more nutrients and avoiding gastrointestinal upset.

    Health Benefits

    • Most commercial foods use grains as filler. Grains are not part of your dog's natural diet, and many dogs are allergic to them. Avoiding grains often reduces or completely alleviates symptoms such as itchiness and other health conditions. A diet consisting of the biologically appropriate raw meats also provides more nutrients. Chewing meaty bones acts as a teeth cleaning, freshens your dog's breath and builds jaw and neck muscles.

    Considerations

    • Before switching your senior dog to a raw diet of organic meat, consult with your vet. Some dogs, such as those with compromised immune systems, may require special considerations when changing diets.
