You would need to be living in outer Mongolia to not have seen all the articles about Commercial dog food. This information is what is turning dog owners to natural feeding.

It has become clear that Commercial dog food is actually toxic to our dogs and as a result of this kind of information many owners are truning to a natural diet.

When you decide to go natural it is important to know where to source the food.

Most of the food can be sourced from a supermarket . Even better is to find a local butcher and then you can find out where the food is coming from .If you can afford to go organic then do it .

When starting out with a natural diet make sure you take these precautions

1. Worm your dog every two months after the initial puppy worming.

2. Place all bowls and utensils into boiling water after normal washing

3. Clean the ground outside after bone eating and remove all shards of bone

4. Store all raw food separately from other foods.

5. Store the food in plastic containers while it is defrosting.

6. keep an eye on the puppy when he is eating bones untill he has got used to it.

7. Wash your hands before and after preparing raw meats.

The dogs canine teeth are not used for grinding bone and so they do not get cleaned in the eating process. You will have to use a soft brush or cloth to clean them about once a week.

Large dogs try to eat Chicken wings whole in one lump.You can stop this by holding the food as they eat but perhaps it is better and easier to feed them the larger chicken frames.

Do your own research online on natural feeding. There is lots of information available and what you will read and find out will let you know that you are doing the right thing for your dog.

By feeding your dog naturally you will add years to his life.
