Here at HillCountry Dachshunds we feed a 100% RAW diet! Why do we feed RAW? (below is borrowed from S.A.D. Dog Sushi ) Jersey enjoying her RAW meal! If we look closely at the food, and the fact that dogs are carnivores, we can develop a better understanding as to why dogs fed raw are healthier overall. Every living being needs certain essential amino acids and enzymes in order to live a healthy life. For carnivores, these essential nutrients are found in meat. Cooking meat at temperatures greater than 117 degrees F destroys these enzymes and amino acids. Dogs, like their progenitor-the Gray Wolf (Canis lupus), have short digestive tracts and a high acidic level in their digestive juices, which enables them to digest raw food easier than cooked food. Kibble is usually cooked in heats of excess of 212 degrees F, thereby destroying all the essential elements and making it harder on a canine's digestive system. Kibble pet food manufacturers add these elements back in, usually by spraying them on after the process. Many vitamins and minerals are depleted after being paired with so many preservatives in kibble. Spraying on a synthetic substance changes the whole structure and does not provide a balanced product. By feeding a raw diet, you are ensuring that your pet is getting his essential amino acids and enzymes in their natural state and in their purest form. The 10+ year shelf life of kibble cannot hold key vitamins that help maintain a healthy diet for dogs. Here is a list of some of the vitamins and minerals you will find in S.A.D. Dog Sushi:
