I’m feeding a raw food diet to my animal. Why do I have to feed supplements?
The concept behind a raw diet is to mimic our companions’ancestial diet in the wild. There she/he would consume most if not all of her/his prey. That includes the skeletal structure as well as the fur/skin. Supplements are part of this attempt to mimic the entire consumption of their catch. Calcium (bones) balances out the phosphorous in the raw meat. Still further, digestive enzymes would be present in the stomach of their prey. Probiotics would be in the gut. A “fresh kill” would be loaded with all kinds of good “stuff.”
