Why Raw Feeding Supports Dogs & Cats with Allergies

Just like you, your pets can have allergies. Most allergies are caused by the environment or the food your furry friend is eating. While you can’t necessarily control environmental factors, you may be able to help reduce or eliminate their allergies or allergic reactions by changing their diet. One such option is to move away from kibble to a raw feeding diet.

Our signature blends consist of meat, organs, and bones and don’t contain the preservatives, by-products, and additives found in most dry pet foods. These added ingredients can cause allergies and allergic reactions, such as itchy skin and gastrointestinal problems.

Additionally, after consuming the same dry food for many years, your pet can develop a reaction to one of the main proteins or carbohydrates in the food. A raw food diet, which more closely resembles what your dog or cat’s ancestors, the wolves and wild cats, would have and still do eat in the wild, can help eliminate those allergic reactions.

The best way to start a new diet is by slowly introducing one type of meat, such as buffalo, rabbit, or goat, which are not typically allergenic. Since many commercial kibble diets include chicken, beef, and lamb as their main ingredients, there is a possibility that your pet may have developed a sensitivity to those types of meat products.

In order to keep your pet from developing further allergies or sensitivity to food, be sure to rotate proteins every few months. If you do notice any reactions to the changes, you can just eliminate that specific food from their diet. The benefit of rotating your pet’s diet is not only that it gives them a nice variety of food to enjoy, but also ensures they are getting the nutrients they need to live a healthy life.
