The idea behind a raw food diet from Jacksonville is to feed pets with indigenous foods with which their digestive systems are conversant. It is designed to imitate the pet’s natural ancestral menu, which is basically a raw prey based diet, and mimic the in-built desire to find, capture and feed on other animals. A raw food diet for pets consists of meat, bones (can be ground or whole), liver, kidneys, as well as raw eggs and vegetables. Pets heavily rely upon their humans to care for them in the best way possible as they are just part of the family and require attention as well.
Improved Digestion
Cats and dogs have a very short and acidic digestive system which is designed to digest food quickly. Their digestive systems are patterned for a raw, meat based diet which they can quickly and efficiently digest in about 12 hours giving bacteria very little time to live and multiple. For the pets, a raw pet food diet from Jacksonville is more digestible compared to manufactured carbohydrates based commercial foods, to which their systems are not adapted. Think about how our body works as well, we process raw – organic foods much more easily than anything that is processed.
When kept on a raw pet food plan, your pet has to take its time to crush and chew the food in the mouth, quashing them into small- sized swallow-able chunks that can easily be digested into the system. The process of chewing the raw food also gives the pet’s system time to activate its gastric juices for quick and effective digestion when swallowed.
Better Dental Health
Chewing through soft bones and meat acts as a natural toothbrush for the pets which scraps plaque off the pet’s teeth. In the process of chewing raw pet food, the pet’s gums rub against the meat food providing gum massage which increases blood circulation in the gums.
Raw pet food in Jacksonville contains minimal carbohydrate content. A starchy diet promotes plaque and tartar build-up which encourages gum disease. When the ground commercial food is used for a long period of time, your pet’s gums become weak, inflamed, unhealthy and unable to support his/her teeth.
Gum diseases such as periodontal and gingivitis also lead to the accumulation of unhealthy bacteria in the pet’s mouth. Continuous ingestion of the bacteria exposes the pet to other systematic problems such as heart diseases.
