“You are what you eat” applies to our dogs and cats too! Unsurprisingly, there’s increasing evidence that a fresh raw diet has health benefits for our canine and feline friends. For example, dogs generally have cleaner, stronger teeth and can be healthier and happier on a diet they would naturally choose themselves such as raw meaty bones, fresh meat and organs, vegetables, berries and herbs. You will hear the words ‘Biologically appropriate’, ‘BARF’, Prey Model and Fresh but essentially they are all raw food diets for dogs (although fresh can mean cooked too). It is worth doing some research about raw feeding as there are aspects that need careful consideration. To help you, we are pleased to reproduce this blog by animal nutritionist Sarah Griffiths from The Adored Beast Apothecary

Supporting a Dog with Kidney Disease
Jack is my 15-year-old Jack Russell. He is incontinent and has kidney disease, but it’s not the end of the world. Supporting Jack has been significantly helped by integrated vet care which treats him as an individual with his own specific needs. As well as a mix of conventional and complementary treatments such as herbs, homeopathy and nutraceuticals, this individualised medicine approach has included tailoring his diet.
