Your Dog Is Meant to Eat Raw Meat. Here’s Why.
The science behind their bacteria-fighting mouths and the raw diet that supports.
Unlike humans, dogs are biologically primed to eat a raw food diet — and they have been since the ancient days.
But how exactly is it that our dogs can thrive off eating raw meat without getting sick, when even the slightest of underdone steaks can send us straight to the bathroom?
Their digestive systems are better designed to handle bacteria.
Even as a domesticated species, dogs generally interact with the very bacterial natural world much more than we do. So naturally, their digestive and immune systems were designed to accommodate accordingly.
Dogs have shorter digestive tracts and more acidity in their stomachs, so they’re able to neutralize significantly higher volumes of bacteria. That’s why your dog can typically get real dirty — eating from the trash or outdoors, licking their paws after long walks, even avoiding bathing for weeks at a time — without getting sick.
On a raw diet, it’s nearly impossible for bacteria to survive in a dog’s mouth.
In its natural state, a dog’s mouth maintains an acidic pH and produces saliva-based enzymes like lysozyme that deliberately destroy bad bacteria before it can enter the body.
But feeding your dog kibble neutralizes any fighting ability they’ve built against bacteria and plaque. Instead, the sugary and starchy fillers — that make up more than 60% of kibble —provide the perfect breeding ground for bacteria to fester and thrive.
Raw diets are the exact opposite. With almost 0% starches and nearly 80% lean and nutrient-rich proteins, a raw diet restores and works with your dog’s natural defenses to keep their mouth clean. When your dog is on a raw diet, there’s virtually no plaque in their mouth — and without plaque, bacteria cannot survive.
