Benefits of a RAW diet in Bulldogs

The Raw Journey
Vets labs all over the world have done tests comparing a raw diet for dogs against dry dog food. In every trial that I have read, it found that Bulldogs fed raw meat had significant health benefits the dry food didn’t provide. This gave us the confidence to try it with our puppies and the benefits they spoke of were evident.
First let’s start with their Coat. This was the second thing we noticed (first thing at the end) and it happened quickly. Almost half of the protein Bulldogs eat goes directly to their skin and coat. When they have a raw diet that is high in protein and fat, this helps give a Bulldog the beautiful coat they deserve.
The next thing we noticed was the Behavior of our Bulldogs. When you remove the dry kibble, Energy levels were increased. Without those high carbohydrates found in dry food, blood sugar and insulin levels were not raised. Also, they are just full of chemicals and low in vitamin B which benefits theirs brains. Just look at the labels.
The next thing we noticed was their waste. Dry food would be terrible to dogs if they didn’t load it up with salt. With so much salt, they have to drink more water which leads to more bathroom breaks and accidents that happen that normally wouldn’t. Bathroom breaks aside, this absolutely leads to kidney issues and shorter lives of our loved ones.
And last is the SMELL. Bulldogs are gassy gassy gassy. With fresh food easier to digest than dry food, this leads to less of it! I haven’t smelled my Bulldogs gas since the FIRST day they started RAW.
There is a tremendous amount of kidney disease, pancreatitis and cancer occurring in dogs today and dry food seems to be the cause. For us, the benefits of Meat and Bone are the difference!
