Suitable for raw food
If you find the words "Suitable for raw feeding" on a dog food or in a description, this means that this product is suitable for raw feeding(also known as BARF - Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) for your dog. Raw feeding is based on the idea of feeding dogs raw, unprocessed food that resembles their natural diet.
A raw diet typically involves feeding raw meat, bones, offal and sometimes raw fruit and vegetables. The idea behind this is to provide a diet that resembles that of a dog's wild ancestor, with the assumption that this is beneficial to the dog's health.
Products labeled as "suitable for raw feeding" are formulated to be fed raw and meet your dog's nutritional needs. They can contain balanced amounts of proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals to provide a complete and balanced diet.
It is important to pay careful attention to hygiene when feeding raw food to minimize the risk of bacterial infections for both the dog and the people in the household. It is also crucial to ensure that your dog receives a balanced diet that meets all of their nutritional needs.
