Most of our clients at Hearty Apetite are looking for ways to keep their beloved pets healthy and extend their lives as long as possible. But there are many people out there still choosing to feed highly processed pet food because of its convenience, affordability or sheer misinformation. Our animals may have adapted to these inferior options, but they are a recipe for chronic disease. Such diets are far removed from the evolutionary diet dogs and cats were designed to eat.
Although our pets have been domesticated for thousands of years, their dietary needs have not changed much from those of their ancestors.
Any dog whether it be a Great Dane or a Chihuahua, shares 99.8% of its DNA with the Gray Wolf and therefore differs at the most from it by 0.2%. As such, their digestive systems are almost identical. Similarly, house cats share 95.6% of their DNA with tigers.
It may be hard for some people to imagine that their cuddly little pooches or purring felines would stalk and hunt live animals, but domestication has not quite removed this instinct. In fact, we are observing their predatory natures in action, every time our dog is “killing” a plushy to remove the squeaker or our cat is stalking a bird or a bug.
Our pets are carnivores and as such they thrive on a predominantly raw meat based diet. One fresh meat ingredient, in particular, that many breeders and pet nutritionists rave about is raw green tripe for the unparalleled benefits it brings to pets’ health, appearance and disposition when incorporated into their weekly eating regimes.
Green Tripe is the perfect nutritional supplement that can be added to RAW diets or traditional pet food (kibble or canned food) to promote digestive health and boost pets’ immune systems. Whether your pet is a senior; diagnosed with a health issue and/or on medication; transitioning to a healthier BARF diet; or beaming with health, consider adding green tripe to their diet. Not only will tripe provide immense health benefits and help treat a myriad of health complaints, it will catapult you to the rank of seasoned raw feeder.
