Both zinc and selenium are antioxidants that help to boost the immune system. Selenium also helps to maintain normal thyroid function. Another nutritional benefit to duck is its content of omega-3 fatty acids, which help to provide your pet with healthy skin and coat. Many pet owners with dogs that have food allergies prefer foods containing duck, due to the fact that duck is probably one of the best protein sources for dogs that suffer from allergies to other meats.

They are required for normal growth and functioning of the cells, muscles, nerves, and organs. Deficiencies of EFAs have been linked to a variety of health problems, including heart disease, cancer and diabetes. Flaxseed also contains lignans – chemical compounds found in some plants. Research has shown a lowered risk of cancer associated with diets rich in lignans. Other studies suggest flaxseed lignans can lower cholesterol and help to prevent diabetes. As a high-fiber food, flaxseed is also great for intestinal health.

feeding guidelines

 

Transitioning To RAWZ

To transition, gradually mix in the new food over a 5-7 day period, increasing the amount of RAWZ® each day, so that you are feeding 100% RAWZ® by day 7.

Transition

Transition your dog gently! Please follow these general guidelines. When transitioning to a new food, it is important to pay attention to your pet’s stool. A healthy diet and good digestion should result in a stool that is formed but soft.

MOISTURE IMPORTANCE

Moisture is vital to your pet’s health. If you feel your dog doesn’t drink much on their own throughout the day, please add moisture to your pet’s food; whether it comes from a canned food, broth or water. Water or broth should make up at least 20% of your pet’s meal. For best results, add water or broth and wait a few minutes before serving.
