Dog Treats

By Shivli Singh

Dogs thrive on love and attention, but what they need to be strong and healthy is the right diet. Dogs are descendants of wolves and just like their ancestors, they also ate raw food. Dogs can handle a raw diet since they possess a robust digestive system, have strong stomach acids, and their gut contains bacteria-killing agents.

While some of us still prefer to give their dogs cooked food, what must be understood is that high temperature cooking destroys the vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that the dog can naturally derive from the ingredients. This makes the diet nutritionally deficient.

While some of us still prefer to give their dogs cooked food, what must be understood is that high temperature cooking destroys the vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that the dog can naturally derive from the ingredients. This makes the diet nutritionally deficient.

One great way to ensure that your dog gets their nutrition while still being on a partial diet is to feed them a raw bones as treats. When feeding dogs bones, one must ensure that we never cook the bones. Bones become hard when cooked and when chewed, can splinter and become a choking or laceration hazard for your dog. Dogs are meant and equipped to consume raw foods and that includes raw meat and bones.

Why Raw Bones?
First up, feeding raw bones to your dog is perfectly safe and they are an essential part of your dog’s health and well-being.

Raw bones contain minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. The meat attached to the bone as well as in the marrow has several nutrients that benefit your dog greatly.

Providing your dog bones gives them an opportunity to indulge in their favorite activity – chewing. Chewing is a stress buster for dogs and helps them let out their energy. Pets that are not given access to chewing bones show a greater likelihood of becoming destructive around the house.
Lastly, inspect your dog’s teeth and gums for any abrasion or cracked teeth. Your vet should check your dog’s mouth at least twice a year. If you are feeding raw meaty bones, it is all the more important to not miss the appointment.
Our pets mean the world to us and we are entrusted with their well being. Given their history, dogs love raw bones and like their guardians, it is our responsibility to give them regular access. The bones give them oral exercise, improve your pet’s psychological well-being, and provide nutrition as well.
