Natural Raw Dog is an e-mail list group that is committed to helping people feed their dog and cat the most natural and healthy diet possible, a Natural Raw Diet (NRD). A NRD consists of raw meats, raw meaty bones, and organ meats. A NRD is the most species appropriate diet that you can provide for your dog or cat. All food and supplements members give their companion should be of human-grade quality and best if organic, this is not always possible. A NRD DOES NOT INCLUDE grains, yeasts, dairy, below-ground veggies or cooked food of any kind or in any amount, with the exception of training treats. Some folks supplement and others do not. Supplementation is considered a last resort for a dog or cat that requires something specific that cannot be found in the foods we feed. Salmon Oil, for example, contains omega 3 which is not present in our food sources today in an adequate amount and therefore the diet needs to be supplemented with it in many cases. Natural Raw Dog does not advocate the use of supplementation as a replacement for feeding a proper NRD. All vitamins and minerals can be found from natural food sources, foods that are part of a properly prepared NRD.

People that already feed this way are welcome and encouraged to join and share in their experience. Those whom are interested or not familiar in this way of feeding are encouraged to join and ask questions. Topics of discussion are about, but not limited too, a NRD, vaccination and titers, feeding philosophy, alternative medicine, common diseases, and behavior issues. Would love to see you here.

I do enjoy mixing it up and having a bit of fun. This is acceptable to a point. We are all hear to learn, share in our experiences, and learn some more, so let's go!
