`
It was after Tom (our vet) encouraged Jonathan to switch Darling to a raw food diet (with fantastic results) that we got the idea for the business.
This area of the website is devoted to the science of feeding raw meat, bones and vegetables to dogs. The focus of the articles is on the role of diet in canine health and wellbeing. In particular, we explain the rationale behind a raw food diet, the benefits, the role of different food groups and the process of switching. We’ve also looked at the history of manufactured dog food, why it may actually be harmful to dogs and how the pet food industry misleads consumers.
For those interested in learning more we have included all our sources of reference. Naturally, we will be delighted to answer any specific questions you may have in relation to feeding raw food.
