The raw pet food products available at Everything Raw are curated to provide all of the essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids required to provide your dog and/or cat with a balanced and complete diet. However, as an added bonus, there are supplements and other food sources that can be added to a raw pet food diet. These help provide your fur baby with added health benefits, whether you just want to optimize your pet’s health, or if you are dealing with an older fur baby or a dog with health problems.
Beneficial Food Sources:
- Green Tripe: If not already provided in the raw food, green tripe (the fourth stomach of the cow, including lining and contents), is an excellent addition to any raw dog food or raw cat food diet in Ottawa. It’s chock full of natural enzymes that promote healthy digestion, spur appetite, and soothe gastrointestinal distress.
- Probiotics: Probiotics, in the form of plain yoghurt or Kefir, once or twice a day, can provide your dog with healthy bacteria to promote a healthy gut microbiome and improved gastrointestinal health.
- Prebiotics: Prebiotics is food for the probiotics. A small amount goes a long way. Prebiotics are found naturally in a number of foods, such as sweet potatoes, pumpkin, garlic, leafy green veggies, apples, banana and ground flax seeds, all excellent choices.
- Pumpkin: A small amount of pumpkin, squash or sweet potato is great to add to a raw dog food diet in Ottawa when your dog is suffering from diarrhea or constipation. The secret is in the fiber content, which can help with both conditions.
- Glucosamine / Chondroitin: Glucosamine/Chondroitin helps promote joint health and may improve mobility and range of motion. When giving glucosamine/chondroitin in its natural state to your dog, it’s more bioavailable. Beef trachea, raw chicken feet and bone broth are all excellent choices. And your dog will love it too!
- Curcumin: Curcumin (the active ingredient of turmeric) has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer properties. Providing your dog with a 95% curcumin product can provide your dog with the best natural anti-inflammatory to help relieve the pain and stiffness of their joints, especially in older dogs.
