What are the health benefits of feeding raw?

Diet changes the lives of humans, it changes our pets lives too. And vets and nutritionists agree!

As our food is simply made with fresh ingredients, Poppy’s Picnic and Tabby's Table raw food can help support many common health issues. Most degenerative diseases in humans are the direct result of a bad diet of processed foods. It is the same for our dogs and cats.

Feeding homecooked-style food can help with:

Weight-obesity or underweight issues

Our products are high in good proteins and low in carbohydrate. This means on a raw food diet, pet owners can manage weight more easily

Allergies

Our customers report that feeding our food helps reduce their pet's reaction to food or environmental allergens. As most pet parents will know, such irritants often cause behavioural problems, so reduced allergens should mean calmer four-legged friends

Lethargy

Our raw food is full of protein and essential nutrients, so you may soon find that your previously lethargic pet has new found bursts energy. They will also find more enjoyment in eating their food, so they’ll be happier all round

Bad breath and body odour... and poo!

With the introduction of raw food into your pet's diet, their digestive experience will change, meaning owners reporting no more of that ‘pet' smell - from better breath to a fresher coat. Also ask any raw feeder than they will immediately start talking about poo. Raw fed poo is significantly less smelly than any other and, in the case of dogs, it's also easier to pick up. Cat owners report low-odour litter trays and much happier neighbours ;)

Auto-immune conditions (e.g. arthritis, painful joints etc.)

Veterinary experts, nutritionists and trade body UK Pet Food report (see its excellent Obesity Report) that pet obesity is a direct consequence of a poor diet. Our raw meals naturally provide the necessary nutrients that can support their immune system meaning arthritic conditions and painful joints should improve.

Dull coat

A raw food diet will result in a glossier, shinier and silkier coat for your pets and their skin quality will also improve.

Switch to Poppy's Picnic and Tabby's Table and your pets will thank you for it.

We know our food is really great, but don't just take our word for it. Here's what a raw specialist vet has to say:

"I still recommend Poppy’s Picnic above all other raw food because I truly trust not only the quality of ingredients but also the commitment to maintaining true nutrient balance" Dr Charlotte Gray MA VetMB (cantab) MRCVS
