DogsBody Raw Nutrition

For most of their history as human companions, dogs have scavenged scraps from the supper table. But that all changed in 1860, when an Ohio electrician named James Spratt journeyed to London to sell lightning rods. After watching quayside dogs feast on dry biscuits fed to sailors, Spratt set about making a biscuit for dogs that could serve as their primary food.

Spratt’s Patent Meat Fibrine Dog Cakes were a mix of grains, beetroot, vegetables and the dried beef.

It wasn’t until 1907, the American inventor Carleton Ellis came up with the idea of making dog biscuits in the nowiconic shape of a dog bone.

After World War II, dog biscuits gradually transformed from dinner to dessert with treats often loaded with fat and calories. More than half of our companion dogs are now overweight or obese.

Skin allergies are now also one of the most common problems faced by domestic dogs today. With this in mind Big Dog Pet Foods have developed a special skin allergy diet as an alternative to their standard RAW Food flavours.

The new Skin Sensitive RAW Food provides a complete diet designed to provide the optimal nutrition profile to aid in alleviating and preventing common skin conditions in your pet. Top of the line ingredients are used with Fish (Salmon and Sardines), Fish Oil and activated Chia seeds, which all contain excellent levels of Omega 3s. Omega 3s promote health benefits such as: healthy skin and coats, an improved immune system, strong cardio vascular health and mostly important, they are antiinflammatory.

Included in this impressive list of ingredients are also fresh noninflammatory meat trimmings, and extensive fruit and vegetable profile (with potent anti-oxidants and phyto-nutrients), prebiotics and live probiotics, as well as eggs, coconut oil, turmeric, kelp, alfalfa, nettle and brewers yeast.

The Big Dog Barf Sensitive Skin pack come in a box of 12 x 250gm meat patties and is available locally from DogsBody Raw Nutrition. Call Pauline today on 0409 389 682.
