The second main reason to choose raw when your pet suffers from (skin) allergies, is that a diet with the right balance of macro- and micronutrients will help strengthen your pet's immune system. Feeding raw does not only provide your pet with a more appropriate diet, it also automatically removes some of the most common food allergens from your pet's diet - and food allergies are one of the most widespread causes of skin issues. Not only does your pet not need grains in their diet, they may even be allergic or sensitive to them. First of all, the carbohydrates mentioned before often come from grains. The reasons for feeding raw specifically in relation to the skin and skin allergies are two-fold. Therefore, the presence of these carb-heavy ingredients can increase the probability of weight problems. Food also changes on a nutritional level when it's cooked: some vitamins, minerals and amino acids are lost during the cooking process. Finally, cooked pet food often has added carbohydrates, which our pets cannot digest as easily as we can. Raw food in considered biologically appropriate, meaning our pets have evolved eating this way over thousands of years, and their digestive systems are optimised for it - it's the best possible diet for digestive health. Whether your pet has skin issues, is suffering from (skin) allergies or is perfectly healthy, we generally recommend a raw diet for both cats and dogs. That means that, whilst our products have been especially formulated to improve and support your pet's skin, we always recommend looking at the bigger picture for the best results. This means we spend a lot of time talking to our customers about optimising their pets' environment, lifestyle and most importantly, their diet. It's no secret that at Anicura, we always recommend taking the natural, holistic path to optimal pet health and wellbeing.
