Question of the Week for May 8th, 2013

Each week Dr. Judy Jasek, the owner of Redbud's Raw, answers a question regarding your dog's health.

This week's question is:      Is a fresh raw diet better than a dehydrated or freeze dried raw diet?

"The fresher the food, the more nutrition will be preserved.  Raw food is the freshest option for your pet.  Sometimes, however, with consideration for cost and convenience, other forms of food may be added to the diet.  Freeze-dried raw has huge nutritional advantages over commercially processed canned food or kibble.  In addition, it is convenient for travel and easy storage.  Any time fresh ingredients are processed, there will be some nutritional benefit lost, so I recommend adding some fresh raw into your pet's diet on a regular basis.  If you are going to feed a commercially processed food, freeze dried is a good choice.. - Dr Judy"
