Shed Pounds with a Raw Diet

Helping Your Overweight Dog Shed Pounds with a Raw Diet

Are you worried about those extra pounds your furry friend has packed on? You're not alone. Many pet owners are turning to raw feeding as a lifestyle choice to manage their pet's weight – and with good reason.

At Nurturing by Nature, based in the heart of Dorset, UK, we understand that every dog is unique. And while some might need to gain a bit of weight, others need a tailored approach to shed those extra kilos. Our raw food brand, made right here in Dorset, provides just that balance.

If your pet is on the heavier side, consider these steps to ensure they benefit from a raw diet:


  1. Monitor Portions: While it's tempting to treat your pet, overfeeding is a primary cause of weight gain. Stick to the recommended portion sizes for their breed and age.

  2. Incorporate Lean Meats: Choose leaner cuts to ensure your pet gets the protein it needs without excessive fat.

  3. Exercise Regularly: Complement the diet with daily walks and playtime to burn off that energy.

  4. Regular Check-ups: Periodically weigh your dog and adjust the feeding amounts as needed.

Embracing raw feeding as a lifestyle choice isn't just about food; it's about giving your dog the best chance at a healthy, balanced life.

Weight Management in Dogs: The Raw Way

Incorporating a raw diet for your dogs is more than a trend. It's about reverting to nature and providing our pets with the nutrition they inherently crave. As the saying goes, "You are what you eat." This holds true for our pets as well. Choose raw, choose health, and witness the transformation in your dog's vitality and well-being.

In today's world, pet health is paramount. Just as humans need to be conscious of their diet, so too do our furry friends. When considering the best nutritional path for your pet, the raw diet stands out, especially for dogs. Let's dive deep into understanding how raw diets, particularly raw dog food, can be the key to optimal weight management for your pet.

Nurturing by Nature’s very own expert Emma, emphasises the importance of monitoring weight while feeding raw diets in this YouTube video. By leveraging tools such as scales or Nurturing by Nature’s very own weight management tool available online at www.nurturingbynature.co.uk. Pet owners can track their dog's weight and make necessary adjustments to their raw diet. 

Make changes slowly & reduce/increase meal portions slowly overtime. If you reduce a meal by half instantly. Your Dog will let you know. 

Monitor occasionally this is an investment in your Pet’s health that ultimately will reward you both in time not an instantly. If you jump on the scales every hour we'll most likely be disapointed as so many factors can afect thoes scales. By jumping on the scales once a fornight or even once a month you'll be able to see if you are moving in the right direction. 

Enrich Meal Times by making their meals harder to reach. A Kong Feeding Toy is a great way to start or even a lickiemat slow feeder. By making the meals harder to obtain your Pet burns off more energy & the mental work out supports dropping meal sizes. 

 

The Raw Diet Dogs Love

Dogs, by nature, are carnivores. Their ancestral diet was rich in fresh meats and fats, quite distant from the processed foods many consume today. Raw dog food from Nurturing by Nature tries to mimic this ancient natural diet nature provides, ensuring our pets get the freshest and most natural nutrients. Whilst also remaining appropriate to our geographical locations. This approach founded by Emma’s mum Nettie isn't just about serving your dog any old chunks of raw meat. Instead, it's about providing a balanced varied, raw diet that encompasses various meat sources and nutrients.

By investing your time you’ll soon be able to understand how your Dog or Cat is digesting their meals & utilising their energy source. 

 

Benefits of Raw Dog Food

The perks of feeding your dog raw food extend beyond weight management:


  • Natural Nutrients: Raw dog food ensures that your pet is consuming unprocessed and unpreserved nutrients. This is particularly crucial for puppies, as raw puppy food can give them the best start in life.

  • Energy Boost: Unlike humans who derive energy from carbohydrates, dogs rely on fats. Natural fats found in raw dog food can be an excellent energy source for your pet.

  • Digestive Health: Many raw foods can aid in digestion, especially as dogs can process certain carbs, such as berries, which they might find in nature.
