For Superior Health and Longevity
Do You Want Medicine in Your Pets Everyday Food?
Absolutely Not! We never include medicine in our food even though many other pet food company's do, then call it super food. Nourished Pet Raw Food mimics a natural wild diet using quality raw animal ingredients. Raw Meat, Organs and Bone are their natural super foods! We save the Pumpkin, Honey, Coconut oil and others to be used as medicine when medicine is occasionally needed. Not as everyday food and risk the possibility of building up a resistance to their powerful medicinal properties.
Take pumpkin for instance. It's the magical fruit that alleviates constipation or diarrhea! Pretty cool huh? Or coconut oil that may heal skin conditions, minor injuries and can be used as an occasional supplement. It can have antibacterial, anti fungal and antiviral properties to help many issues. We at Nourished Pet recognize the benefits of natural medicine and remedies but certainly don't want your pets eating medicine everyday if it's not needed. Treat your pets as individuals and occasionally supplement each animal as an individual for a much better solution. Spirulina and Chlorella have extra nutrients, minerals and may help detox metals and toxins. Remember to rotate their protein source (turkey, chicken, rabbit etc.) for a better nutritional balance and stronger immune system.

A Major Component for Optimal Health and Harmony
RAW MEATY BONES & CHUNKS OF MEAT: These are a great alternative to garden vegetables and are super healthy for their teeth, gums, jaws and digestive system. Only raw and never cooked, smoked or left in the sun to bake. Not too small so they could swallow it whole and not too big that they are overwhelmed by it.
When your pet is new to a raw food diet, hold off a week or more until they have been fully transitioned to raw food before giving them bones. This way their system has time to "get their wild back" to digest and absorb nutrients properly. Bones with marrow have a large amount of fat (good fat) which could take a week or so for their digestive system to adjust to.
Size matters! Please fit the bone to the pet. Chicken, duck and turkey necks along with whole quail and rabbit ribs are good for cats and most dogs (not gulpers) where larger (non-weight bearing) bones of lamb and goat are good for larger dogs. Weight bearing bones of large prey are not a good choice because they are too dense and have no nutrition. Never leave your pets alone with bones. It will get gooey and messy so provide a washable mat away from your nice carpet or outside in a (non pesticide treated) grass and dirt area. There are many beneficial probiotics in the grass and dirt they can also absorb.
When you supplement their diet with vegetables, we highly recommend fermented or feeding them in a separate meal from our raw food so they absorb all of the nutrients from the raw meat, organs and bones properly. Only lightly fermented greens & vegetables will be received by the digestive system as beneficial and supply additional good bacteria. Similar to in the wild where they would probably get a small amount from the prey animals stomach contents.
LIVING GREENS: Munching on grass is very beneficial and necessary. There is a big difference between vegetation and garden vegetables. Vegetation like grass is filled with chlorophyll and natural plant enzymes that are needed nutrients where many garden vegetables are starch and carbohydrates which are treated like sugar in your pets body. Carnivores have a short digestive system (unlike humans) and the garden vegetables do not have time to ferment. Please provide your pets regular access to organic living-growing grasses, greens and sprouts to nibble at their leisure. It's important the greens provided are free from pesticides (especially glyphosate) or chemical fertilizers.
WATER: Always provide your pets with fresh spring or filtered water. Avoid any fluoride and chlorine treated water. You may notice with a raw diet they typically drink less water and in turn your dogs will slobber less. That's a great benefit when you have a big dog like a Mastiff! Wash and rinse their water bowls regularly to help keep healthy gums and teeth
SPIRULINA, CHLORELLA and BENTONITE CLAY
Spirulina and/or chlorella powder is an excellent addition we give our pets for nutrition, immune support, detox (since pets are exposed to toxins everyday) and overall health. We sprinkle it on their food occasionally and mix it in a bit with water. Always test a small amount to make sure your pet does not have a reaction. It's very rare but some pets could experience minor nausea or vomiting. Stick to the recommended dosage per weight. A little goes a long way. It's been reported it may be a great supplement for pets suffering with kidney issues since it's known for it's immune boosting and toxin clearing benefits. We use powdered grown organically in California and for humans since we take it as well. Its also available in capsules and Spirulina for cats.
BENTONITE CLAY: Clay is known to be a detox as well as a natural mineral supplement for your pets. Animals are seen eating it, bathing in it and rolling in it at their watering holes in the wild. Its been known to clean and detox along with providing many minerals needed for digestion and nutrition. We give our pets clay occasionally by sprinkling it on their food with a pepper shaker. We always add water and mix it in good so there is no chance of them inhaling it into their lungs. Not all clay is created equal so make sure you give them only pure clay from a reputable source. Redmond Clay works for us. Make sure they have plenty of water to stay hydrated when serving clay
Remember, your pet might not be a wolf or a cougar but its teeth, gums and digestive system are still the same and require a natural raw animal protein diet for optimal health to fight off disease.
Summary
Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace....Albert Schweitzer
We at Nourished Pet envision a world where all domestic animals are eating species appropriate raw diets (never kibble) and living healthy happy disease free lives. We believe that all animals have the right to live free from pain and suffering caused from a highly processed commercial diet. Thanks to the numerous articles and education from highly respected Veterinarians, Dr. Lisa A. Pierson, and Dr. Karen Becker (and others) along with years of our own research we have learned that proper nutrition is the foundation for excellent health. It is also the best preventive medicine we can offer our animals. The further a species abandons natures intended diet, the more health problems are likely to develop. Hippocrates taught that All Disease's Begin in the Gut. Feeding a proper raw diet will maintain good gut health and keep their immune system strong. Nourished Pet adheres to the basics and closely imitates a natural wild prey diet of raw uncontaminated quality animal meat, organ and bone. We do this while also respecting the animals by utilizing humanely raised animals.
We are thrilled to pass on the knowledge we have learned on this life long journey of the necessity of a natural prey based raw diet for all carnivores. We also honor our precious planet by leaving the lightest possible ecological footprint with our eco friendly compostable containers. Offering your pets our unsurpassed nutrient dense raw feasts without contamination from petroleum based containers is the best gift you can give them.
