Rawfood Natural Diet for Dog
Optimum Diet
Dog Meals
40% Raw Meat & 40% Cooked or if raw must be mulched Veggies for absorption.
NO GRAINS ie rice, wheat etc
MEATY BONES : Must be Raw!
AVOID - the large marrow type bones – wears enamel down. And Chicken wings too hard to assimilate.
For med to Large dogs ( if they are good at chewing bones) - Use Lamb Shank bones, feed Raw chicken necks
and chicken carcasses. If not so good a chewing bones, ie gulping down and not chewing then avoid Lamb shank bones.
E.G. FOR bull terriers, boxers and smaller DOG size.
Feed all raw meaty bones (omitting the lamb shank meaty / bones/ KNUCKLES)
RAW MEAT
Diced mutton, Roo (Australian meat), a little amount of fish, organic chicken, and plenty of raw chicken necks or
roo tails for the dogs.
Note: You can now buy human grade gourmet Roo meat from Woolworth supermarkets which would be the best Roo meat to buy.
(Omit feeding any beef or pork)
Also feed some table scraps (preferably not minced meat, as B vitamins get destroyed in the process, feeding 'cooked' meat
destroy digestive enzymes making proper digestion very difficult)
* Once a month feed organ meat Eg. Raw Liver - is highly nutritious
Throughout the week, can feed natural cottage cheese, natural yogurt (especially if pet has been on chemical antibiotics),
goat's milk, cooked egg OR if raw egg yolk only.
If your cat or dog eats grass, then add some crushed digestive enzymes in every meal given.
For assistance with older pets or Pancreatitis dogs and cats and other digestive disorders.
Avoid all other fruits, fatty foods and dairy products …. if dog suffers from pancreatitis disorders
Give Natural Yogurt or goats milk or buttermilk (no cows milk or processed cheese)
Common ALLERGENS for PETS to AVOID
(especially seizure animals, allergen free diet and chemical drug and stress free lifestyle, will make a huge difference in
stopping seizures all together) Beef, Carrot (non organic), corn, tuna, fish, fish oils, turkey, pork/ham, cows milk,
vaccinations, spicy foods, yeast, wheat, any wheat or yeast food containing.
ALL cat and dog - commercial rolls / tin foods & biscuits (all are junk foods, and contain, sugars, salt, corn, wheat etc).
Example: Brewers yeast, rice, pasta, all dog biscuits.
Other less likely Allergens MAY include... peas, beans, rice, nuts, shellfish, rolled oats, citrus fruits like … grapes, pineapple,
tomatoes, cabbage, chard, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms and spices, carrots (if not organically grown)
NUTRITIONAL DIET SUGGESTED
Can give your dog a variety of nutrients through vegetables, combine several different types when preparing them, although most
dogs are happy with one or two types only.
IMPORTANT: Veggies feed to Dogs are unable to break down cellulose (the cell wall in vegetables).
So, if feeding a dog veggies without juicing, pulping or steaming them, your dog is properly not getting the full benefit and
unable to use any of the nutrients in them.
Some of the Vegetables that you may choose to add to meals - Asparagus, Beans (string), Beets, Bok Choy, Brussels, Sprouts,
Carrots(organic ONLY), Dandelion greens, Fennel, Kale, Parsley, Parsnips, Pumpkin, Sweet Peppers, Pumpkin, Seaweed, Spinach,
Squash, Turnip, Yams. Our dogs are quite happy to have 3 different types of veggies alternating (eg. mashed cooked pumpkin alternating with finely grated Zucchinis or raw grated beetroot)
Great HEALTH Tip: finely grated RAW Beet (beetroot) (or cooked) added to meals weekly is a excellent vegetable for healing
and prevention of caner and liver problem and many other illnesses.
Fruits – Apples, blue berries, melons, peaches, plums, avocado.
AVOID all citrus fruits, raisins, white potatoes, onions, rice, sultanas.
Nuts – 2 - 4 Brazil Nuts “especially” (crushed up before adding to daily meals)
** Add a Brazil nut to your dog’s diet to help prevent cancer, the leading disease killer of dogs. Read about the
critical cancer-fighting difference between the sodium selenite used in most dry dog foods and the selenomethionine
found in Brazil nuts and other foods
Weekly foods.
Can give Soft cooked eggs, ( if Raw Egg, give yolk only) plain cottage cheese, goats milk, natural yogurt, can give several
times a week, in between meals or morning meals etc.
Vitamin and mineral Supplements
From the Health store - (Algae type) Chlorella Food Supplement Powder
OR
Omega Pet Oil from the Health food store.
Make your own – EFA’S (Essential Fatty Acids) Helps promote shiney glossy coat and joint mobility and immunity.
DOG OIL MIX Using 1 3/4 cups of Organic Safflower Oil ¼ cup of Cod Liver Oil mixed in a brown 500ml bottle with screw cap.
Add a tablespoon of the “ORGANIC LSA” powder mix which is bought from the health food store.
( linseed, almond and sunflower seeds crushed into a powder)
This helps keep a pet regular and very healthy. – keep in fridge.
Add 1 teaspoon of Wheat Germ Oil - keep in fridge.
Below DAILY DOSAGE by Dog’s Weight of oils and powders if bought from health store.
2 to 8 kg = 1/8 teaspoon powder & 1 teaspoon Oil Mix
8 to 14 kg = 1/4 teaspoon powder & 2 teaspoon Oil Mix
15 to 24 kg = 1/2 teaspoons powder & ½ Tablespoon Oil Mix
25 to 36 kg = 1 teaspoons powder & 1 Tablespoon Oil Mix
NOTE: DOUBLE the recommended nutritional Dose - SICK or OLDER DOGS (over 7 yrs of age)
NOTE: if you pet has skin allergies, seizures, check food allergy list above to avoid in diet. The over consumption of
vegetables that are high in oxalates may interfere with calcium absorption and cruciferous vegetables with thyroid function.
To properly prepare vegetables and fruit for your dog's to absorb the nutrition they must be put through a food processor or
mulched or very finely grated at last resort.
DRINKING WATER AND MILK
All domesticated animals should be give FILTERED WATER ONLY (same as what we drink) Tap water has too many chemicals in them,
that DO effect the animals as a toxin. GOATS milk is the best natural calcium provider that is better assimilated than cows
milk without causing loose stools. Avoid the commercial pet milks.
Some special needs of ‘certain’ Dog Breeds German Shepards, Labrador, Retrievers, Boxers, Bull Terriers, New Foundlands and many
of the working and herding dogs require a diet that is more acid based. If you have one of these breeds or crossed breeds, then
add Amino Acid Complex tablets (crushed) to the morning meal. One indication of a need for this adjustment is a dog that has
dark-brown to black discharge in his ears, cystitis or urinary bladder infections, poor pigmentation, hair coat and skin eruptions
and an alkaline reading of his urine.
Optional suggestion to buy from chemist pH test strip, If you want to test your dog’s urine. Do this first thing in the morning.
It should read between 6.2 to 6.5. If it is a number greater than 7, then definitely add the amino acid complex tablets daily.
We have had great success with the “Meta B” tablets which is the Metagenics brand, (is available on our on-line store) containing
many supplements including the whole range of B complex’s and amino acids supplement all in one.
Dalmatians, West Highland White terriers and some Belington Terriers represent a special challenge.
Since these breed dogs are unable to deal with the NITROGEN WASTE associated with high amounts of animal protein in their diets
or cannot eliminate some metals from their systems which are present in tin food, tap water, drugs. These breeds do not tolerate
Beef products which have a high nitrogen waste: so, you need to rotate animal proteins that have a low nitrogen waste such as chicken,
fish, yoghurt, cottage cheese, and egg (yolks only).
By adding Amino Acid complex tablets in their morning meals, and B complex tablets (crushed) am and pm meals, plus ¼ teaspoon of
Ester C powder or 1 tspn of Calcium Ascorbate powder, so they can utilize the protein.
Optimum prevention of degenerative disease like cancer, arthritis, spinal myelopathy.
Avoid ALL chemical drugs and foods.
Avoid Vaccines that severely deplete animal of Vitamin C, this is why so many animals have chronic disease,
it only takes one vaccine and then it can be a decline down hill from their. Use the safe non toxic nosode
immunizations instead. One vaccine last a lifetime in a pets body, so ask for a Titer test to prove your pets
are still fully immunized.
Vitamin C
vitamin c acts as a natural antihistamine and anti-oxidant for maintaining good health this is why it is so
important to supplement a pet’s diet daily with Vit C. The larger the dose, the less is absorbed.
Therefore smaller, more frequent doses would be beneficial. (¼ -1/2 Med size dog) ½ teaspoon of Ester C Powder
DAILY in meals ( Vit C )
Digestive enzyme and Restore of Flora in gut
Sick or dogs that had past or present chemical antibiotics, will need this formula. To restore gut flora which
will aid in better absorb nutritional of their food and nutrition. Numerous University studies has shown that
any type of Degenerative Disease and Cancer in particular have been linked to enzymes deficiencies.
Digestive Aid and Probiotics Flora restore IS needed.
Dry Flaky’ & ‘Itchy Skin”?
Often indicates a diet lacking in Fatty Acids, Vit E & Lecithin.
Example for a Medium Size Dog: Sunflower Oil (1 to 2 ) dessertspoon to main meals daily. Add 15000IU of Natural Vit E
in diet weekly. 1 tablespoon of Lecithin grains daily,1 dessertspoon of Cod Liver Oil to main meals 3 x times per weekly
Strong skin odour / smell ?
Usually indicated yeast skin infection. Rinse skin daily with some slightly diluted Colloidal Silver and several drops
of this with cider vinegar and Thuja mother tincture diluted in ear canal for yeast ear infections. If very little change
in skin, we have then found a combination of anti-parasite and fungal herbal mother tinctures diluted in some water and used
sprayed over the skin does the trick. AN208 Fungi Skin Rinse (Set of 2) Herbal skin rinse and homeopathic fungi detox treatment.
* Signs of having an allergy reaction to the preservatives /chemicals/ yeast / wheat products are: Biting at toes, Excessive
scratching, red skin, strong skin odour, runny eyes, lethargic, dull looking fur, hot spot
Flea Problem ?
The most effective solution we have found over the years of assisting pet owners with flea infestations is by sprinkling
Borax Powder (from supermarket) on Carpets, mats, tiles and bedding (leave for 10 min) then vacuum up afterwards
(this rids flea egg cycle infestations). At the same time removing the fleas from the pet using a Flea comb or washing.
(dogs only) Sprinkle outside where your dog OR Cat sits or lays. Do this a couple of times just before summer when flea
eggs are hatching and jumping on your pets from the carpet or sand outside. They actually breed in carpet and outside
in sandy soil areas. They do not live on your pet, they jump off and on your pet and bite them, making them itchy, especially
if you pet has a allergy reaction to the bites. So it only makes sense to stop the flea cycle of eggs and breeding in the environment
(not on your pet)When treating outside areas you need to wet the area first to bring the Fleas to the surface then apply the Borax.
Wet the treated area after 10 to 15 min to dissolve the Borax.
