In Search of Real Dog Food 2

This is the second excerpt from ‘Real food for dogs & cats – a practical guide to feeding your pet a balanced, natural diet’ by Dr. Clare Middle.  The many benefits of feeding your canine raw foods are explained in this valuable book.  Dr. Middle has spent 25 years as a veterinarian and provides plenty of ‘Ah ha’ moments as she explains the function and complexities of canine digestion in easy to read language.

“Meals must be principally meat and bone.

It is important that the dog’s stomach be primarily full of raw meat and raw bone.  If a dog’s stomach is full of high carbohydrate or starch food which can only be fully digested at a pH of 3 to 6, then full digestion is obviously unlikely.”
