Meet Fudge, my adventurous cat, always one to explore the wonders of nature & not adverse to finding the odd bit of trouble. Working in the garden yesterday, I felt a presence. Turning around, I discovered Fudge, who had decided to venture out after the rain. With a majestic calmness, he was indulging in a refreshing drink from a puddle.
I instantly thought of capturing this moment. Just like you see the BBC film crews capture a rare moment of nature’s magic. Let’s face it who hasn't been mesmerised by the slow-motion footage of animals drinking in nature documentaries? Rushing to grab my phone, I couldn't quite replicate those stunning visuals. But what I did capture was an incredible audio sound that resonated with the natural joy and simplicity of life, as Fudge relished his drink.
Pet owners often notice their furry friends drinking from puddles. Have you ever wondered why? The answer lies in the allure of nature's own recipe. Rainwater, untouched by chemicals like chlorine, exudes a fresh smell and taste that captivates our pets' senses. While it might not always be clean, cats and dogs are naturally equipped with robust stomach acids to break down any bacteria. Their primal instincts lead them to these natural sources.
At Nurturing by Nature, we resonate with this authentic connection to our environment. Just like Fudge's natural inclination to drink from a puddle, we believe in providing our pets with the most natural and raw diet. It's not just food; it's a lifestyle choice. Embracing this natural path creates a harmonious bond with our pets, feeding off the energy of seeing them healthier and happier. It naturally creates a positive lifestyle experience for ourselves.
Nature continually teaches us to appreciate the simple, raw beauty that surrounds us. It's in these unscripted moments that we find natural understanding. So next time you see your pet drinking from a puddle, take a moment to reflect on their most natural of behaviours, and how it's guiding us back to what truly matters.
When it comes to your pet's natural instincts, drinking from puddles is just one of many behaviours rooted in their wild ancestry. Dogs and cats have an innate drive to explore, hunt, and seek out natural water sources, much like their wild counterparts. These instincts are also why a raw pet food diet aligns so well with their natural needs. Just as they would hunt and consume raw prey in the wild, a raw diet provides the nutrients in a form their bodies are naturally designed to digest, supporting overall health and vitality.
This connection to their instincts can also be observed in how pets approach their environment. Encouraging these natural behaviours, whether through their diet or allowing them to engage with their surroundings, can enhance their well-being and strengthen your bond with them.
