Species Appropriate Raw Feeding
The best thing you can do for your wolf in dog's clothing!
The basic principal in feeding dogs raw food lies in the concept that dogs are descended from the grey wolf.
A chapter in the publication The Genetics of the Dog (ed A Ruvinsky & J Samson, Robert Wayne at UCLA and Carles Vila at the University of Uppsala, Sweden),
confirms the wolf origin of the dog and that the difference between the DNA of dogs and wolves is only 2%, and with the Coyote, their nearest relative 7½ %.
Since the closer association between man and dog dates back only some
12 000 years, on an evolutionary scale not enough time has lapsed for dogs’ nutritional requirements or for his gut chemistry to have changed.
If we accept the ‘wolf-dog’ idea, the wolf’s feeding habits offer us clues as
to what ‘Species Appropriate’ food we can feed our dogs.
About Raw Gold and the Raw Gold Advantage
Raw Gold has been developed and perfected by BREEDERS!
Raw Gold was developed by Phil Herselman, of Stephilden Smooth Fox Terriers, after his newly imported puppy from the UK refused to eat the 'premium' commercial pellets Phil tried to feed him. Over time Phil has perfected the formula to include only the best fresh chicken, fresh vegetables and essential vitamins and minerals.
"I care for my dogs and I feel duty bound to feed what they were born to eat." - Phil Herselman, Nov 2003
We only use human-grade chicken, that's collected FRESH and not pre-frozen!
Although we collect straight from the farm, we freeze our veggies to break the cellulose wall so they can be digested.
Vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, D3, E, C, and minerals necessary for a healthy life, and general well-being are added.
