🐱 4 Reasons Why Cats Need a Balanced Raw Food Diet 🥩

Curious about why raw feeding is so beneficial for your feline friend? Here's how a balanced raw diet supports their natural biology:

🦷 1. Teeth Built for the Hunt
Cats are obligate carnivores—which means meat is a must! Their teeth are perfectly adapted for hunting and eating prey. Tiny incisors grip, sharp canines pierce and tear, and serrated premolars and molars help rip meat and crush bone. Since cats can only move their jaws up and down, they don’t chew like we do—raw meat is exactly what their mouths are made for.

💪 2. Taurine – A Must-Have Nutrient
Taurine is an essential amino acid that cats can’t produce on their own—and it’s found only in animal protein. Taurine supports healthy vision, digestion, heart function, fetal development, and a strong immune system. Without it, serious health issues can develop.

🐾 3. Their Gut Isn’t Designed for Grains
Cats have a much shorter digestive tract than humans and are not equipped to break down plant materials like grains. They simply don’t need them. A raw diet gives them the animal-based nutrients they can actually absorb and use.

🧫 4. Their Stomach is Made for Raw
A cat’s stomach is highly acidic—perfect for quickly breaking down meat, bone, organs, and gristle. Kibble, on the other hand, requires a more alkaline environment to digest properly, which can strain their system and slow down digestion.

🩺 More and more vets are now recommending a balanced raw diet (like the Prey Model) for cats, recognising that it offers better hydration, more bioavailable nutrients, and supports overall health far more effectively than dry kibble.

💧 Fun fact: Cats on dry food are often chronically dehydrated, which can lead to serious long-term health issues. Raw feeding helps prevent that by providing moisture naturally through food!

🐾 3 Reasons Why Dogs Thrive on a Balanced Raw Food Diet 🥩

Thinking about switching your dog to raw? Here’s why their body is literally built for it 👇

🦷 1. Their Teeth Tell the Story
Dogs are natural carnivores! Their teeth are designed for catching, tearing, and chewing meat—not crunching on dry kibble. Plus, their jaws move up and down (not side to side like ours), making raw meat the perfect fit.

🧫 2. The Gut Microbiome Matters
Your dog’s gut is home to hundreds of microbes that keep everything from digestion to mood in check. A balanced raw diet helps maintain a healthy gut, while highly processed foods can throw things out of whack—leading to IBD, immune issues, and even depression.

🐕‍🦺 3. Their Stomach is Built for Raw
With powerful gastric acid and enzyme-filled stomach folds, dogs are made to digest raw meat, bone, and organs efficiently. Kibble, on the other hand, needs a more alkaline environment, which can lead to slower digestion and potential gut problems.

👉 And did you know? Dogs don’t produce amylase in their saliva like herbivores do. This makes starch-heavy kibble even harder for dogs to break down. Sure, their pancreas can help, but it’s not the natural or ideal way to fuel their bodies.

🐶 Bottom line: A balanced raw diet supports your dog’s teeth, gut, immune system, and overall health—just the way nature intended.
