Raw4Paws.us Providing a healthy and biologically appropriate diet for dogs and cats at an affordable price. Hi! I've been feeding my dogs a raw diet for the past 6 years.

Why, you ask? I do it for my dogs. Six years ago I remember hearing about all of the dog food recalls, and it made me anxious about feeding my dogs kibble. I researched which brand had the fewest recalls, most protein, and fewest strange ingredients (did you know that ash* is an accepted ingredient in kibble?). The final straw was when I watched a documentary called Pet Fooled that was all about t

he pet food industry and what really goes into our pets' food. After that, I knew that I had to change what I was feeding my dogs. When it comes to human nutrition, we are told to eat fresh, unprocessed foods in order to stay healthy. However, when it comes to our furry companions, we are told to feed them this ultra-processed product. I truly believe this highly processed, cooked-at-high-temperatures "food" is the root of the majority of the health issues that our pets encounter (diabetes, kidney disease, cancer, allergies). A dog shares 99.9% of its DNA with wolves*, and they should eat a species appropriate diet. I don't know at what point in time it became recommended to feed dry kibble, but I believe it's time to change. That change is coming in the form of raw, fresh, real food for our pets. In order to make the healthiest food possible for my pups, I researched and read books about raw diets. After learning what worked and what didn't, we perfected our recipe. Our food is a combination of chicken leg quarters, chicken hearts, gizzards, and livers along with a large variety of fruits and vegetables. This combination provides our dogs with all the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that they need. After seeing the benefits in my dogs, I felt like I had to share my food with the world! Raw4Paws is founded on the belief that we can do better by our pets and feed them better food in order to help them live long, healthy lives. I want to make raw food affordable to everyone who wants to feed it and keep their pet healthier for the entirety of their lives. The way I see it is that maybe feeding a well-balanced raw diet won't solve all of our pets' health problems, but fresh, raw food has got to be better for them than kibble!

Guess what else we put in our fruit and veggie mix! 🫐

The holy grail of longevity foods, protecting your dog like a suit of armour.🫐

Blueberries are an awesome source of prebiotic fiber and are chock-full of polyphenols. Studies have found that blueberries delay the aging process by promoting the repair of DNA strands.🧬 Diets supplemented with this blue antioxidant powerhouse can potentially sustain the body’s antioxidant levels and protect against oxidative damage💥, making them one of our top recommendations you can share from your refrigerator!

We use a lot of frozen blueberries as training treats, when fresh blueberries aren’t in season. But be forewarned: more than one blueberry for every two pounds of body weight a day (i.e., five blueberries for a ten-pound dog) can lead to completely benign dark blue p**p, so feed a few, then move on to other Longevity Foods, found in The Forever Dog LIFE, as healthy rewards.

We have bananas in our veggies! 🍌

Green bananas🍌 can prevent and reduce cancers by over 60%, according to the American Association of Cancer Research, so maybe stop hunting for those yellow bananas in the supermarket!

You can boost your dog’s immune and gut health with unripe, green bananas, which have less sugar and more fiber than in their ripened state. Research shows that green bananas offer:

🍌Pectin and prebiotics to build the microbiome and increase the production of butyrate and other short-chain fatty acids

🍌Leucocyanidin, a flavonoid that may help to prevent GI ulcers by inhibiting the release of histamine in the gut

🍌Resistant starch (non-digestible) fiber that helps to prevent intestinal disease, increase mineral absorption and B vitamin synthesis, control blood sugar, improve immune response, and may even prevent intestinal c*ncer

Need a treat for a dog with a sensitive stomach?

Quartered slices of green banana are a perfect training treat, whether your dog is prone to diarrhea or not. Suggested amounts, chopped into bite sized pieces:

Giant breeds: 1 green banana a day
Medium to large breeds: ½ green banana a day
Small breeds: ¼ green banana a day

In Chapter 3 titled TREATS and TOPPERS of The Forever Dog LIFE, we give you a rainbow 🌈 of options to treat your dog to better health including recipes that use bananas in a creative way and baking options like green banana flour that is a low glycemic healthier alternative to plain white flour! Now available in bookstores.

My dogs get raw eggs with their dinner! So good for them!! 🥚🥚🥚

Eggs 🥚 are a perfect protein, and they’re the richest source of choline, a vitamin critical for cell and brain health but is often deficient in pet food.

COMMENT “EGGCELLENT” and I'll message you our Egg Guide with a CHOLINE CRISP RECIPE to make this brain nourishing snack for your dog or cat. You'll also find dozens of recipe ideas and a section just on eggs in The Forever Dog LIFE where we show you how to select, prepare, and store eggs.

We've got organ meat in our food!

Embrace the Power of Organ Meats as Treats or Toppers to Elevate Your Pet’s Health 🐕🐈

Organ meats are highly digestible, have high nutrient density and an excellent nutritional profile. 🌟 Adding small amounts (less than 10% of daily calories) of various organ meats to your pet’s bowl are an effective way to boost the nutrient content of their food. 👍My pets’ favorite; beef and chicken hearts.
