Heat processing, which is standard in the pet food industry, changes or destroys many important nutrients. The pet food industry has tried to convince pet owners that so-called corrective diets (a special regimen for allergy, digestive troubles, obesity, etc.) is the best way to improve health problems. They may help certain symptoms simply by providing a change, but may not be treating the underlying causes. By feeding your pet a diet rich in raw or fresh foods, you’re letting nature provide the best, naturally balanced nutrition.

  So how do we go from processed pet food to a raw diet? Concerned about salmonella and other bugs? The digestive systems of dogs and cats are short, acidic, and handle bacteria well. This is why they are not susceptible to salmonella, parasites, or e-coli from tainted meat as humans are. Humans have very long digestive tracks which allow food to 'linger' for 24 hours or more, thus allowing more time for parasites to get into their bloodstream's.
