Most people feel reassured by the pictures of smiling veterinarians and dog breeders paying tribute to the commercial pet food they feed their dog. Or perhaps, you’ve been convinced by your own vet that the food they sell is sure to be nutritionally balanced.
For your dog’s sake, be a bit suspicious. Don’t be convinced by anyone (including me) that what they are trying to sell you is necessarily in your dog’s best interest.
Instead, it may be in their own best interest if they gain a sale from convincing you.
If you’re having a problem getting your head around the idea of raw dog food, then I suggest it’s your problem, not your dog’s.
Dogs evolved on a diet of raw food over millennia. Humans have only recently taken an interest in making dog food.
Do you really imagine, for one moment, that humans have been able to change the domestic dog’s digestive and immune system in fifty odd years?
You may well say that humans have had an impact on the way dogs look, with all the different breeds. Yes, that’s true. But have you also noticed that pedigree dogs are also the most unhealthy? What I call a Heinz 57 dog, is normally much healthier.
So in breeding a selective type of dog, humans have gone against nature, by isolating one or more traits, until the breed becomes what the breeder wants.
And so it is with food. Humans tinker about with food, under the guise of ‘Science’. I call it junk science, because there’s nothing scientific about commercial dog food. The word ‘science’ has come to be revered by the majority. Just as the word ‘natural’ is currently enjoying popularity.
So a clever commercial dog food manufacturer will incorporate the word ‘science’ and/or ‘natural’ in the advertising, to lure you in.
That doesn’t mean there’s anything of quality within the packet or can. It could be anything. You have no way of knowing how the food was prepared or what is in each pack.
Raw dog food, on the other hand, contains all the nutrients essential to a healthy dog.
I appreciate that it may take you time to get your head around the idea, because you’ve probably been brought up on the idea that commercial pet food is the healthiest way to go.
If that was true, how cum that dogs health invariably improves when a switch from commercial to raw dog food is made? The only way you’re really going to find out for sure is to try it out yourself.
You may be worried about parasites and bacteria in raw dog food.
Neither of these are an issue for dogs, whose digestive system is very robust, with powerful digestive juices. Dogs aren’t carnivores, they’re omnivores, which means they can eat anything (as long as it’s raw), including vegetation and rotting carcasses.
In fact, you will notice that when you feed a raw dog food, fleas and worms decrease and almost disappear.
Dogs have problems with unnatural foods – those that are cooked, those that contain preservatives. Neither of these are natural. Cooking destroys many vitamins and denatures other nutrients.
I can genuinely assure you, that your dogs health will improve considerably when you start feeding a raw dog food. There may be a ‘de-toxing’ period initially, but this is normal, natural and only takes a short time to go through.
Why not try it for a month and see for yourself? What have you got to lose?

How do you force yourself eat healthy or eat at all during an eating disorder relapse?
I’m having trouble actually forcing myself to eat. Anyone else have this problem and how do you do it?
And how do you make sure it’s healthy and not binge or comfort food?

Im a binge eater when depressed, which seems to be all the time. I have no real advice, except contact your therapist. They can help you.
Good luck

This may seem like a negative situation but here’s an idea. Have you heard of the Law of Attraction? It says that as long as you are in a positive mind-set and feel good about everything more positive things will come up into your experience. So using this advice, dear, I suggest that you find something that is easy to eat, something that doesn’t make you feel guilty. Like eat some fruit cocktail in a can. You can get the organic kind without High Fructose Corn Syrup and while you enjoy something low calorie you’re also doing your body tons of good. As you eat this simply affirm "this tastes pretty good" "that wasn’t so hard" "I can do this". And whenever you hear that voice inside your head tell yourself "I AM good enough, I am a Witch, I am Source Energy, I am the Creator of my own Experience, and I can DO IT!" Then keep finding things to appreciate, like how wonderful your house is or how wonderful your pets or friends are. Just look for the positive and the more positive will flow into your experience.
There is much love for you
