One of the biggest advantages to feeding a whole foods diet, is that your pet gets whole nutrition. Not selected additives, but all the nutrition that food has to offer. Meats contain a wide variety of amino acids, vitamins, minerals and fats. All of which work together to provide a complete protein profile for the dog. Grains and vegetables also are rich in different nutrients, all foods are most nutritious when fed whole, with all the trace elements and nutrients in a perfect natural balance.
Though many dog food manufacturers have attempted to provide total nutrition, it is hard, if not impossible to perfectly imitate nature's perfect balance. Basic nutrients aren't the only things that are hard to get in a bag, the naturally occurring enzymes found in whole foods are impossible to bag in a dry form. All of these nutrients work synergistically to provide the ultimate in nutritional intake for your pet. The result is a pet that is hardy and healthy, more able to resist illness, or to recover more quickly should illness occur! |
