Should I Feed My Dog Raw Turkey?

Feeding your dog raw turkey is highly recommended. There are so many wonderful benefits to turkey, especially when raw of course! Turkey is very lean, easy to digest, packed full of essential vitamins, and can help dogs with sensitive tums.

Raw turkey is an excellent addition to your dog's diet due to the high content of B vitamins, which are essential. By feeding raw meat, your dog is gaining the maximum amount of vitamins, straight from the natural source. Unlike processed foods, natural raw products do not need additional vitamins and minerals added. Cooked food is certainly better than processed however, cooking meat depletes the nutrients so, feeding raw is by far more nutritious and beneficial.

Good quality, raw turkey contains an abundance of the following:

• Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) – is essential to a dog’s diet as they help to promote cell growth and function, and are necessary for the absorption of protein and fat.
• Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) – is essential to a dog’s diet as it helps convert carbs into glucose which produces energy. As one of the B vitamins, it also assists in healthy cell growth and function.
• Vitamin B3 (Niacin) – is an essential nutrient for body function. This can help improve brain function, assist the immune system and lower cholesterol.
• Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) – is essential for keeping the immune system and the nervous system healthy. It is also vital for healthy brain development.
• Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) – this nutrient helps to make the genetic make up of the cells in the body. Also helps to keep your body’s blood and nerve cells happy.
• Selenium - essential for the optimisation of your dog's metabolism. It is also important for the reproductive organs, the thyroid and even the synthesis of DNA.
• Zinc - helps to regulate hormones, proteins, and enzymes and is very important for maintaining normal immune system function and thyroid function too.
• Potassium – very important for your dog's health. Potassium supports the function of electrical charges in the muscles, the heart, and the nerves.
