Adding onto Commercial Raw Diets

Foods that you do not need to worry about adding are secreting organs such as Liver and Kidney, these foods are rich in vitamin A which is a nutrient you don't want to over do but in saying this if you want to add some secreting organ of your own for variety, doing so a couple of times a week isn't going to be an issue.

​

Just like you do not micro-manage your own diet down to the mg of different nutrients, you do not need to be doing this to your dogs diet.  Feeding a variety of ingredients on rotation means you generally avoid underdoing or overdoing any one nutrient and work towards balance over time vs per meal - the way all animals in the world eat including healthy humans.

​

Just keep in mind that anything you add as an extra is extra calories, so if you have a dog that you do not want to put on any weight then you will need to reduce the commercial raw portion.

​

Here are some ideas of some extras that you might like to consider adding to your dog's commercial diet:

• Kefir

• Greek yogurt

• Egg (cooked or raw)

• Canned fish in springwater or olive oil

• Quality canned dog foods such as K9 Naturals & Kiw Kitchens from Pet stores
