Nutrition is extremely important for the health of our beloved animals. I would personally recommend to everyone to feed their dogs and cats a raw diet. Why? Raw Diets are nutritionally superior to their dried, canned, dehydrated and freeze-dried counterparts. The natural uncooked state of protein and fat is more easily recognized and absorbed by your pet's body systems allowing them to function at top capacity.
The enzymatic activity, moisture content, minerals, and vitamins place a Raw Diet on the top of the list for appropriate food for dogs and cats. Enzymes inherent in the raw food assist absorption of protein and other nutrients more completely into your pet's body. Thereby, creating a more vital, healthy pet that is able to thrive better than her kibble and canned food counterparts. Some organs can produce enzymes, but the enzyme pool is not endless. Once the pool of enzymes is depleted, the bodily processes stop and, consequently, life itself ends. That is why feeding a diet rich in enzymes is so important. The enzymes are inherent in the food, thereby, the body is not depleted of its limited supply.
What are enzymes? Enzymes are the life forces that activate, then participate in all the body's digestive and metabolic processes. In other words, enzymes are protein catalysts that promote biochemical reactions such as digesting food, building bones and skin, aiding detoxification without undergoing change themselves.
However, should raw food not be a choice for you. A natural cooked food or freeze dried diet would be the next best option.
