Its important to switch up protein sources when feeding raw! Share in the comments what your dos favourite protein source is! This is Megs meal, her favourite protein would have to be possum or salmon.
Heres a few reasons why we should mix it up -
Each protein source has a unique amino acid profile. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are essential for various bodily functions. Rotating proteins ensures your dog receives a wider range of these essential amino acids, supporting overall health and development.
Different meats and animal products contain varying levels of vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids. For example, beef is rich in iron, while fish is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamin D. Rotating ensures a more complete and balanced intake of these vital nutrients.
A varied diet supports a more diverse and healthy gut microbiome. Different bacteria thrive on different nutrients. A wider range of proteins introduces a wider range of nutrients, promoting a more robust and balanced population of gut bacteria, which is crucial for digestion and overall immunity.
