Longevity of dogs and cats
• Skin & Coat Solutions (Allergies)
• Joint & Bone Solutions (Arthritis)
• Weight Loss (Obesity)
• Healthy Treats to assist with dog training
• Common every day veterinary diseases
History of Dog and Cat Nutrition
• Canid & felid divergent evolution dates back to 40 million years BC
• Man domesticated the dog & cat approx 8,500 years BC
• Cooked meat for dogs & cats became popular in the 1900’s due to fears of
disease & parasite
• Commercial cooked pet foods first released in Australia in 1965
• Cooked commercial foods appeal to the convenience era
No refrigeration, bulk stored, claimed "balanced diet“
•
Commercial pet food had large marketing campaigns
History of Dog and Cat Nutrition
But hang on a minute …..
Dogs and cats can’t cook !
Raw Food Nutrition
THE EVOLUTIONARY EVIDENCE IS CLEAR
• 38 million years of evolution on a raw food diet. The digestive tract, teeth
to bowel, organs and enzymes, all designed to digest & process raw meat
and other raw food sources.
• It’s crazy to think dogs & cats will have better health on a cooked and
processed diet that & they have had less than 50 odd years to adjust to
(one millionth on the evolutionary time scale)
• Does it take a scientist to see the answer – no, this is just common sense
• Why are zoo animals still fed raw food?– because they thrive on raw food,
and get sick and even die when fed processed food
• How long can a wolf live – over 20 yrs, so why do most dogs only live 10 -14
yrs – because of diet.
Raw Food Nutrition
What does Cooking Do?
• Denatures protein
• Destroys vitamins
• Destroys Omega 3 essential fatty acids
• Decreases digestibility
• Sterilizes food
• Lowers bioavailability
Advantages of Raw Food Nutrition
• Evolutionary adaptation – a RAW diet eaten for 40 Million years
must be better than a processed food that has been around for
only 50 years
• Autolytic enzymes – raw food is easier to digest and requires
less digestive enzymes
• Reduced obesity – animals on raw food do not get fat
• Improved dental health – animals on raw food have healthier
teeth and gums. Raw food does not stick to the dental surface.
• Increased fertility, fewer obstetrical problems – better breeding,
more pups per litter, less caesareans
• Improved faecal matter & fewer anal gland problems
• Improved general health & a longer life
Common Conditions that respond to
Raw Food Diets
• Allergies (atopic (inhaled), contact, food allergy)
• Chronic Otitis – ear infections
• Pancreatitis- great follow up diet (low in fat, easy to digest).
• IBD – Irritable / Inflammatory bowel disease
• Anal Gland impaction
• FLUTD (feline lower urinary tract disease), struvite crystals / bladder
stones
• Obesity
• Diabetes
• Auto Immune diseases
So What is a Natural Diet?
The term “natural diet” refers to mimicking a natural wild dog or
cat’s diet, by combining the most convenient individual raw
materials and re-creating the natural elements.
RAW MEATY BONES
• Bones provide the equivalent of tooth brushing for dogs and
cats.
• Bones supply natural source of readily absorbable calcium in
correct levels relative to meat intake
• Natural source of glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate
• I advise clients to feed raw bones at least twice a week.
So What is a Natural Diet?
RAW MEAT
• My preference is kangaroo - organic, lean, high protein, high in
Omega 3 - make sure minimal or no preservatives are used.
• Rabbit is also a good meat source, and green tripe
• Organ meats (eg liver, kidney, heart) twice a week, or 10% each
feed.
• Meat requirement decreases with age; 80% pups, 70% adults,
60% senior, 50% weight-loss
• Dogs can eat less meat and more vegetable matter
• Cats are obligate carnivores & require higher meat diet.
So What is a Natural Diet?
CARBOHYDRATES
• My personal favourite is hulled rolled oats, soaked overnight. Raw,
low allergenic, easy to prepare, and cheap.
• Other grains are cracked barley, whole grain oats, linseed meal,
sorghum (gluten free).
• Soaking grains at room temperature “germinates” seed & turns off
enzyme inhibitors increasing bio-availability & digestibility by 4050%.
• Grains are naturally in gut content of prey animals, pre- chewed
and soaked in gut fluid.
• It’s natural for carnivores to have grains in the diet, but not large
amounts of refined grain (flour) like in most processed foods
• Should average 10 - 20% of the diet. Increase levels for lower
activity, weight-loss, kidney failure.
So What is a Natural Diet?
VEGETABLES
• Vegetables always best raw, but they must be grated or minced
as dogs and cats cannot easily digest the cell wall of plants.
• Vegetables provide vitamins & minerals, as well as roughage
to helps proper bowel motions & anal gland function.
• Parsley and wheat grass are power packed green foods full of
micro nutrients, trace minerals, and anti-oxidants
So What is a Natural Diet?
THE SUPPLEMENTS
•
YEAST is added for B complex vitamins, chromium (glucose
metabolism) &selenium (anti oxidant).
•
KELP is for iodine (thyroid gland function), and vitamins B, D, E, and K.
•
LECITHIN is for choline - brain power, liver, fat metabolism
•
CALCIUM is to balance diet relative to phosphorous – added calcium
creates an ideal balance. Most important for puppies, pregnant and
lactating bitches, less so for fully-grown dogs. Good levels are found in
raw bones that are completely eaten.
•
VITAMIN C is for immune function & tissue growth & repair. Most
important during pregnancy, puppy growth, during illness, disease or
recovery from surgery or trauma, or when under stress of any kind (see
later).
•
GARLIC is for taste and aroma, to discourage parasites, stimulates
digestion, lowers flatulence, powerful antibacterial properties.
So What is a Natural Diet?
