A Raw Diet for Pet Dental Health

Unlike a BARF World® diet, kibble contains unnatural high levels of carbohydrates, which contain ingredients unnatural to what wild dogs and wolves eat. The result; bacteria begins to form which can cause a range of dental concerns such as tooth decay and gum disease. 

By giving your dog a raw meat diet it helps reduce the bacteria in your pets’ mouth, keeps plaque levels low, and freshens breath. Raw diets help prevent tartar build up because raw diets do not stick to the teeth, unlike diets that are high in carbohydrates and fat/chemical sprays. From my own personal experience with my fur baby Jax, he has been on a raw diet his whole life and has shiny white teeth with no buildup or dental concerns. 

Raw Meaty Bones & Antlers 

The best way to prevent dental disease in your dog is by providing the best raw pet food diet, in addition to raw meaty bones and or elk antlers. These are both great options in providing an additional boost and overall benefit to your pets dental health. 

When your pet is chewing away on a raw meaty bone, they have to chew through some meat and cartilage. Once this is broken down, the bone helps scrape off any plaque build up. Raw meaty bones keep wild dogs and wolves teeth in optimal shape, and they can do the same for our beloved four legged companions. On the other hand, elk antlers are a natural chew that not only keep your pet occupied, the marrow helps keep their teeth clean. 

By feeding dogs the diet they were designed to eat, a raw meaty diet that isn’t full of carbohydrates & fillers, the results will be shocking! Incorporating meaty bones and or elk antlers, will help promote your pets overall dental health and extend the quality of your fur babies life. 

One of the tips we recommend and is tried and true with our own fur babies is putting your dog’s food out and letting them salivate for a few minutes before feeding. Saliva promotes dental health and can help protect tooth enamel and can reduce gum disease.
