Why Feed Your Dog Naturally?
Why Feed Your Dog a Natural Diet?
At SK9 Supplies, we believe that what you feed your dog matters. A natural diet provides the essential nutrients dogs need to thrive, not just survive. Many commercial dog foods are packed with artificial additives, preservatives, and low-quality fillers, which can contribute to digestive issues, allergies, and long-term health problems.
Switching to a natural, high-quality diet can transform your dog's health, energy levels, coat condition, and overall well-being.
The Benefits of Feeding Natural
Switching to a natural diet can transform your dog’s health in many ways.
1. Improved Digestion & Less Stomach Issues
Many dogs struggle with bloating, gas, diarrhea, or constipation due to low-quality food. A natural diet removes fillers and artificial ingredients that upset their stomach, leading to better digestion and firmer stools.
2. Healthier Skin & Shinier Coat
Does your dog suffer from dry, itchy skin or excessive shedding? Many skin problems are caused by poor-quality ingredients and food allergies. A natural diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids and real proteins helps keep your dog's skin healthy and their coat glossy.
3. Stronger Immune System & Fewer Allergies
A natural diet boosts your dog’s immune system by providing essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Dogs that eat highly processed foods often develop food sensitivities and allergies, leading to itchy skin, ear infections, and digestive issues. Feeding whole, natural foods can reduce inflammation and support long-term health.
4. More Energy & Better Overall Mood
If your dog seems lazy, sluggish, or uninterested in play, their food could be the culprit. A poor diet with artificial fillers can lead to energy crashes and fatigue. A natural diet provides sustained energy so your dog stays active and alert throughout the day.
5. Healthy Weight Management
Obesity is a major issue in dogs, often caused by low-quality, carb-heavy diets. Feeding a balanced natural diet helps maintain a healthy weight, reducing the risk of joint problems, diabetes, and heart disease.
What Makes a Natural Diet?
A natural diet focuses on real, whole-food ingredients, free from artificial preservatives, colorings, and unnecessary fillers.
Key Ingredients in a Natural Diet:
✔ High-Quality Proteins – Real meat sources like chicken, beef, turkey, lamb, and fish.
✔ Organ Meats – Packed with essential vitamins and minerals for overall health.
✔ Healthy Fats – Essential fatty acids from fish oil, animal fat, and coconut oil.
✔ Fresh Vegetables & Fruits – Providing fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants.
✔ Bones & Cartilage – For strong joints, teeth, and calcium support..
Types of Natural Diets for Dogs
There are different ways to feed your dog naturally, depending on your preferences and lifestyle.
1. Raw Diet (BARF - Biologically Appropriate Raw Food)
A raw diet consists of raw meat, bones, organs, and fresh vegetables, mimicking what dogs would eat in the wild. Benefits include improved digestion, better dental health, and higher energy levels.
2. Gently Cooked Fresh Food
This method involves lightly cooking fresh ingredients while preserving nutrients. It's great for dogs who can’t handle raw food but still need a high-quality, fresh diet.
3. High-Quality Natural Kibble
Not all kibble is bad! Some premium brands offer natural, high-protein, grain-free options made with real meat and whole ingredients. If you prefer kibble, make sure it’s free from fillers, artificial preservatives, and by-products.
How to Switch Your Dog to a Natural Diet
Transitioning to a natural diet should be done gradually to avoid digestive upset.
Step-by-Step Transition Plan:
✅ Days 1-3: Mix 25% natural food with 75% of their current food.
✅ Days 4-6: Increase to 50% natural food and 50% old food.
✅ Days 7-9: Mix 75% natural food with 25% old food.
✅ Day 10: Switch fully to natural food.
Some dogs transition easily, while others may need a slower adjustment. Always monitor for any digestive changes and adjust accordingly.
