Raw Food benefits for dogs with Allergies

Dogs are known as man's best friends for a reason. They are loyal, friendly, and always happy to see their owners. But did you know that dogs can also suffer from allergies? The allergies are related to our pet food. This blog post will explain the importance of a diet full of enzymes for a healthy digestion system. If your dog is experiencing any of these symptoms, please consult with Earthwise Pet Southwest OKC nutritionist.

Enzymes are found in fresh/raw food, and it takes minimal heat to destroy them. Most dry pet foods are cooked at very high temperatures, meaning all enzymes naturally present in that food are almost completely depleted by the time your pet eats that food. Enzymes provide precisely what your pet's body needs to break down and absorb the nutrients within the food.

Why are enzymes necessary?

The lack of enzymes strains your pet's body from producing those enzymes themselves. It is a less efficient way to digest food and often leaves undigested food particles, resulting in inflammation and overall energy deficiency. This kind of diet puts enormous stress on your pet's body to compensate, and issues like food sensitivities, skin and coat problems, and weight gain will likely develop due to this stress.

Denatured proteins, and why we care?
 
Your pet's body is designed to recognize proteins in specific shapes. For example, when your pet eats a piece of uncooked chicken, the digestive system knows the unique form of the chicken protein. However, when proteins are cooked at high temperatures, like in the case of dry kebele pet foods, this denatures the proteins and causes them to become different shapes and unidentifiable to your pet's digestive system. So, your pet's body must do a lot more work to digest these denatured proteins properly, and issues often arise like food sensitivities! Because of that, many pets dealing with hypersensitivities and allergic responses to chicken kibble don’t react to raw chicken.
