Why Go Raw?
Back to Nature - the way nature intended. When we look at the origin of your canine or feline, they ate what nature provided.
Raw meat is unaltered. It is not processed, or added to and that's what makes it a healthy choice.
Remember, before processed animal foods, canines and felines ate their food raw. This way of eating is meant to be for them due to a superior digestive system. It's our job to make the right decisions for our furry family members and keep them on the best health path possible.

Essentials of the RAW DIET
It's very hard to achieve a daily balance with raw. Canine in the wild follow a 21 day type of rotation, where they are cycling through the same kinds of foods. So the balance that we are seeking is over the course of 3 weeks, our target is:
70% Raw meat & bones (with at least 3 different proteins)
10% Organs
20% Veggie, fruit, tripe
Along with daily supplements of Vit C (Ascorbic Acid), Kelp, Essential Oils (with Omega 3-6-9)
Variety is the key to success with balancing a raw diet.
Just remember that every dog has their own raw diet balance, we just need to find the balance for your dog.

Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)
-Helps metabolize fats, carbohydrates, and proteins
Niacin (Vitamin B3)
-Prevents vitamin deficiencies
Vitamin B6
-Helps with metabolism
Phosphorus
-Key element in all forms of life
Zinc
-Essential for a healthy dog
-Zinc deficiencies can lead to "stunted" growth
Protein
-Proteins are enzymes that catalyze biochemical reactions and are vital to metabolism.
Thiamin (Vitamin B1)
-Key metabolism roles in the break down of carbohydrates and proteins
-Thiamin deficiencies effect the nervous system
Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5)
-Needed to form (COA)
-Critical in the metabolism/synthesis of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats
Selenium
-Essential dietary mineral
-Biochemical reactions to maintain optimal health
Riboflavin (Vitamin B2 / E101)
-Energy metabolism
Vitamin B12
-Key role in brain and nervous system function
Copper
-Essential trace nutrient to all high plant and animal life
Folate (Vitamin B9)
-Essential to numerous bodily functions
-Especially important during periods of rapid cell division and growth, such as in puppies or pregnant dogs
Manganese
-Essential in detoxification
Vitamin A
-Plays a key role in vision, immune function, bone metabolism, skin health, antioxidant activity, and reducing risk of heart disease.
Iron
-Essential to nearly all known organisms
