"Thanks to RawChoice and the supportive owners, my skinny, sickly puppy has grown into a robust and healthy adult. He has been eating RawChoice for 4 1/2 years and I wouldn’t change a thing. His body condition, teeth, and coat are spectacular. I can’t say enough good things about this food"

Transitioning your furry friend from dry food to a raw diet from RawChoice only takes a few steps and a little bit of time! We’ve outlined two methods below to help you start your pet on a raw and species-appropriate diet.
We recommend starting with RawChoice Chicken+ because chicken is a simple protein that is easier to digest compared to beef or lamb, which contain more complex organs and may cause loose stools. After 3 to 4 days of feeding chicken, we suggest introducing your pet to our other meals such as Breeder’s Choice and Beef+.

How to reduce tartar buildup on your dog’s teeth by 80%?
We all have seen it. That yellow nasty buildup on a dog’s teeth. The medical term to describe this build up is calculus (not the one where you have to do some math if you’re wondering). Now Researchers from Brazil and Norway have proven in a controlled study that eating raw bones is actually an excellent way to remove “established” calculus in dogs. In other words, bones can reverse existing buildups regardless of how nasty they are

How much does the actual content of canned pet food differ from the label?
Remember the horse meat scandal in Europe in 2013? When authorities found that meat packers mixed horse meat with beef to make that special burger? Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) found that many burgers sold in the UK supermarket had horse muscle DNA. The molecular test used is one of the most sensitive and specific tests available to investigators today and therefore proved beyond any doubt that horse meat was mixed with other meat. I don’t know about you, but I have strong feelings about eating someone’s pet. The scandal proved to be much wider than what initially thought and the same practice was discovered across Europe.
Researchers from the University of Nottingham suspected that the same problems extend to the pet food industry. After all, despite the regulations, monitoring of many aspects of pet food manufacturing process is largely self-regulated. This means that the companies are responsible for
We have all seen it. That yellow nasty buildup on a dog’s teeth. The medical term to describe this buildup is calculus (not the one where you have to do some math, if you’re wondering). Researchers from Brazil and Norway, recently proved in a controlled study that eating raw bones is actually an excellent way to remove “established” calculus in dogs. In other words, bones can reverse existing buildups regardless of how tough they are. One of the many cases presented to vet clinics with severe calculus formation. This is a very advanced stage but vets still see similar cases frequently. Dogs commonly suffer from oral diseases. One of the most common oral diseases is a condition called periodontal disease, which starts as inflammation of the gum. If the disease is not caught early, it progresses to cause looseness of the tooth. The consequences are familiar to many dog owners. The typical scenario ends with a dental procedure where your dog goes under anesthesia for his teeth/tooth to be
Socialization is an often overlooked aspects of a new puppy training. In this video made by The Dog Geek, an in-depth explaination of how socialization affects the development of your dog is provided.
Salmon poisoning disease (SPD) is a very serious and sometimes fatal condition, occurring when a dog eats raw salmon that is infected with the Neorickettsia helminthoeca parasite. This disease typically begins in the tissues of the small intestine, where it causes hemorrhaging. Soon after, it spreads throughout the body.
The dog owner typically observes the following:
Acute onset of anorexia (loss of appetite) and lethargy associated with fever
Vomiting and bloody diarrhea are common (funny color diarrhea)
Eye and nose ischarges occasionally reported
Your vet will usually find the following when doing physical exam of the dog:
Fever
Lymphadenopathy (severely enlarged lymph nodes
Signs of hypovolemic shock that include faster heart beats, poor pulse, and collapse.
How does it happen?
Dogs acquire the causative organism (N. helminthoeca), and therefore the disease, from a fluke parasite (Nanophyetus salmincola) carried in the kidneys of salmon, and rarely other fish or
Canned food is a very convenient way for feeding pets. It is easy to ship, store, and feed. Many people argue it is superior.
A research team from the University of Missouri Led by Dr. Cheryl Rosenfeld has uncovered that Bisphenol A (BPA) present in canned dog food has tripled the levels of BPA in the blood of dogs consuming the canned food within just two weeks. The switch to canned food has also affected the gut’s microbiome (the bacteria inside the dog’s gut) in a negative way (dysbiosis).
The impact of BPA cannot be overestimated.
The study:
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widely present endocrine disruptor chemical found in many household items. Pets and their owners are often exposed to environmental chemicals that can act as hormone/endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). The main issue with EDCs is that they bind and activate endogenous hormonal receptors. In other words, they interfere and disrupt hormones and their functions. Unlike the hormones secreted by our own bodies (endogenous counterparts),
Gorilla Glue® is an incredibly strong glue known for its industrial holding power and versatility, even in wet conditions and regardless of the surfaces to be bound. It easily bonds wood, stone, metal, ceramic, foam, glass and more. Because this glue is often found in many households, Gorilla Glue® ingestion is a common emergency in dogs and is a very serious medical condition. If swallowed, any amount of this glue can expand to a size that may cause an obstruction of your dog’s stomach where emergency surgery would be necessary. This time-lapse video, “When Gorilla Glue® Gets Wet,” shows what happens when Gorilla Glue is eaten by a dog – which, given its sweet taste, happens far more often than you might think.
