Raw Meaty Bones, Fish & Offal For Dogs
We recommend that each day or two, raw dog bones are also nature’s toothbrush … chewing removes plaque and tartar from teeth and freshens breath. Including meaty dog bones into your pet’s diet is very beneficial for tooth and gum health, exercising the jaw muscles, along with being a natural and fully absorbable source of calcium, with the added goodness of marrow. Natural dog bones also help to keep your pet occupied while you are at work and can even be frozen as a treat for a hot summer’s day. Feeding healthy dog bones, Unlike cooked bones which can splinter in your pet's digestive tract, raw bones for dogs are completely safe to feed your pet. The cooking process makes bones more brittle, increasing the likelihood they might splinter and cause internal injury to your dog. Cooking can also remove the nutrition contained in bones.
Raw edible bones are hollow, non-weight-bearing bones - typically poultry wings and necks. They are soft, and pliable, do not contain marrow and can be easily crushed. These bones provide calcium, phosphorus and trace minerals which can be an essential part of your pet’s balanced raw food diet.
Raw recreational bones, which are big chunks of the beef femur or hip bones filled with marrow, don’t supply significant dietary nutrition for your dog. These types of raw dog bones are designed only to be gnawed on, rather than chewed up and swallowed. But they do provide mental stimulation and are great for your dog’s oral health. When your dog chews on a raw recreational bone, especially a meaty one with cartilage and soft tissue still attached, his teeth get the equivalent of a good brushing and flossing. This helps to break down tartar and reduces the risk of gum disease.
Dogs in the wild have beautiful teeth and healthy gums. This is because the prey they eat requires a lot of chewing, and the sinewy composition helps to clean each entire tooth.
All our Somerford Raw & Natural pet food varieties do contain offal.
While there is no need to add additional offal to your pet's diet if you are feeding our naturally complete & balanced Somerford Raw & Natural food, some customers do wish to feed additional offal to their pet's diet. A raw diet isn’t complete without offal. Compared to regular cuts of muscle meat, organ meats are more densely packed with just about every nutrient, including heavy doses of B vitamins such as B1, B2, B6, folic acid and vitamin B12. Organ meats are also loaded with minerals like phosphorus, iron, copper, magnesium and iodine, and provide the important fat soluble vitamins A, D, E & K. All these vitamins and minerals are essential to the health and well-being of your pet. Offal is a large part of their natural diet and is the most beneficial way to make sure your pet is receiving a naturally complete and balanced diet.  Somerford Raw Offal for dogs & offal for cats is all single protein 100% Human Grade Australian Offal, So you can rest assured that it is free from parasites and from healthy animals.
