When is too soon to start a raw diet? Puppies can start to eat a raw diet as soon as they are weaned from thier mother. The natural enzymes present in raw meat help with digestion, and most will notice a smooth transition from mother’s milk to a balanced raw diet.<\/p>\n

Caddy and Buda share a duck neck<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Caddy and Buda are two foster pups that have been with me for approximately three weeks; since they were six weeks of age. They are now 9-weeks old, and enjoy raw snacks from time to time. Were they both mine, I would have them on a 100% raw diet. They are currently provided with kibble from the rescue that they belong to, which is more cost-effective for thier situation.<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Raw fed dogs typically have smaller, firmer stools, healthier coats, and overall better longevity and health than kibble fed dogs. Thier immune systems tend to be stronger, and food related allergies are minimized. My dogs have eaten a raw diet for the past 6 years now, with a preference for our local brand, USDA certified, K-9 Kraving. It is completely balanced, making feeding raw easy. My oldest, Esco, is currently 10 years old, and was the 2009 WPBTCA National Champion at 9 years of age. He is still running strong!<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In addition to the health benefits, raw diet dog foods do not suffer from recalls like many commercial kibbles. Being USDA certified, K-9 Kraving is all human grade food. They offer a full line of food, with seven different flavors, and can process special orders in most cases. They also offer a full treat line of\u00a0all natural nutritionally enhanced treats that may be\u00a0raw, smoked,\u00a0or cooked.<\/div>\n
