Before you breed your dog, she should be in excellent health and condition. Holistic health care works with nature and your pet's body to keep her in optimal health and an asset to your breeding program. The foundation of health is diet. Food is second only to air in what your dog takes into its body most often.
Food provides the energy for life.
Good food provides lots of energy, poor food does not. Your domestic carnivore's body was shaped over eons of evolution to thrive on particular foods. The closer you can simulate the diet that your dog's body is designed to eat, the healthier your dog will be. The canine's short digestive system is equipped to thrive on raw food. Cooking damages many elements in food that are vital to good health.
