 The food of any species is
defined by what it consumes in nature. Your dog is a carnivore. It's
nutritional needs should be based on foods appropriate for a carnivore. In the
wild, carnivores eat entire carcasses that consist of mainly raw meat, fat and
bones. Raw meat is composed of unaltered essential amino acids, which are the
building blocks of protein that is necessary for the growth and development of
all body components. Your dog's tissue, bones and nerves are mostly made up of
proteins.
A diet consisting of meat only, is unnatural and nutritionally
unbalanced. Along with meat, your dog requires bones as a balanced source of
minerals to maintain true health. The most abundant mineral in bones is
calcium. Additionally, the tissues within bones are composed of collagen
fibers, living cells and vital blood-forming nutrients such as iron. Bones also
contain fat in the marrow, along with fat-soluble vitamins. Fats aid in the
formation of hormones, regulation of temperature and normal functioning of the
nervous system. The fats in meat and bones provide your dog with the energy it
needs for good health and activity level, plus essential fatty acids are
important to the skin, coat and immune system.
Domestic and wild
carnivores have little evolved need for carbohydrates. They are not designed to
eat plant matter unless it has been suitably prepared by humans or Mother
Nature. Wild carnivores occasionally forage for ripened fruits, particularly
berries, and eat varying amounts of stomach content depending on their prey.
Already broken down by the animal's digestive juices, the nutrients from plant
material are more readily utilized by the carnivore's digestive
system.
Wild carnivores eat virtually everything within the prey animal.
Domestic dogs should be fed in the same manner. Animal organs and glands are
rich sources of protein that also provide essential fats, hormones, minerals
and vitamins. Blood is important for the health too. It is full of living
cells. Blood is alive! From muscle to bone, cartilage to blood vessels,
internal organs and other healthy visceral tissue, whole animals provide
intrinsic nutrients that are commonly missing from the diets of domestic dogs.
A man-made formula or recipe that mimics Mother Nature's diet cannot re-create
the nutritional synergy that whole animals provide. The foundation of the Urban
Carnivore Feeding for Health program consists of Whole Animals that offer truly
unequaled nutrition for the carnivore.
