**Why Frozen Raw Dog Food?**

Nutrients Present in Raw versus Kibble and Canned:

Feeding companion dogs Paw Naturaw, organic, frozen, raw diets is a holistic strategy of preventative health. Raw whole foods in their organic state as found in Paw Naturaw diets are packed with nutrients and complex medicinal properties. Kibble and canned pet foods in contrast undergo processing methods such as heating, irradiation or other chemical manipulation that destroy all enzymes, most essential vitamins, amino acids, probiotics, and other antioxidants.

Human Interference:

Human beings will often tamper with the diets of other species if economically advantageous. Corn and soy are products of considerable scientific manipulation and profit maximization. Salmon, cows, cats, and dogs would never eat these ingredients raw much less roasted, baked, or fried in the wild. Simply stated grains and other cooked foods are not biologically appropriate for dog companions, and their bodies tell us; in fact, soy, corn, and wheat are the three most allergic ingredients for today’s dog companions. Throughout the last century the pet food industry has been designing foods first for the benefit of paying caretakers by focusing on the cheapest, longest shelf life, and most convenient methods of feeding before considering the optimal health and nutrient needs of animal companions.

Animal companions for better or worse rely on caretakers to provide proper nourishment. Humans too may live by eating over-processed fast food, but who dares say this choice comes without a price? The cost for both humans and animal companions rests in quality of health and life. Some individuals may challenge this quality-of-life statement by pointing out how happy and healthy their animal companion is with their current processed food, but what are they comparing it to? How could dog companions know better, or do they? Again observing innate responses may provide another clue as to what canine companions truly require. Chasing and hunting other animals may be your animal companion’s instinctual way of proclaiming, “I crave pure, fresh, raw meat.”

Science & Nature:

In the timeless debate of science versus nature, think of Paw Naturaw’s diets as respectfully observing arguments of science but clearly sitting in nature’s corner. Nutrients, at least the ones science is currently capable of identifying, are essential to the wellbeing of your companion animal. However, nutrients and their interactions with one another are not fully understood. Paw Naturaw recognizes many of pet food science’s beneficial contributions to the physiological understandings of canines over the last century and are “formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages”, yet accomplish this formulation without disregarding or disrespecting the purity, complexity, or integrity of the ingredients nature provides and animal companions require.

Purity vs. Toxic Substances:

While nutrients may be scientifically equal at a basic molecular level, the ingredients they come from and the growing, raising, and processing methods used most certainly are not. Paw Naturaw uses certified organic whole foods to ensure your dog companion’s diets will be void of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, heavy metals, solvents, preservatives, artificial additives, or other toxic and deleterious substances.

Labels often tell only part of the story. Not listed on the label is not equivalent to absent from the product. In order to piece together the composition and integrity of diets outside of the organic industry you may only guess as to how products were sprayed, fed, processed, transported, or cleaned and what traces remain. Federal regulations of organic foods in contrast prohibit more than 3,000 toxins from entering into the different processes.

**Handling & Feeding Instructions**

Please handle raw diets with caution and care. Paw Naturaw diets should remain frozen until needed. To thaw before feeding, remove package from your freezer and store in the refrigerator overnight. Once contents thaw do not refreeze. Use all opened products within 3 days. Thoroughly wash and disinfect your hands and other surfaces after handling Paw Naturaw organic frozen raw diets.

On average canine companions require roughly 5 ounces of Paw Naturaw diets per 10 pounds of dog companion’s body weight each day or 3.2% of total body weight. Paw Naturaw suggests feeding half of this amount in the morning and half in the evening. For more specific feeding recommendations select diet to be fed, enter your animal companion’s weight, and select an approximate activity level or consult the detailed analysis at the bottom of the page.

Please keep in mind that each dog companion is unique. Breed, size, age, gender, genetics, physiological state, activity level, and environmental differences may require feeding more or less than recommended amounts. Feed puppies and lactating or gestating females 4% to 8% of total body weight. Puppies may require 5% to 8% between 4 weeks and 14 weeks after birth. After 14 weeks and through the year puppies may require between 4% and 5% of their total body weight. Divide the total feeding amounts for puppies into 3 or 4 meals per day.

Alternate Feeding Methods:

Your dog companion will benefit best from Paw Naturaw’s organic, frozen, raw diets when fed as a full diet. However, feeding lesser amounts of Paw Naturaw diets with other pet foods is a better long term health decision than avoiding the purity, density, and absorbability of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and fatty acids found in Paw Naturaw’s organic ingredients.

Mixing Paw Naturaw Diet with another “complete and balanced” pet food:

Halve the “Total Daily Adult Consumption” amounts per 10 pounds of dog companion listed in the above “Suggested Daily Feeding Amounts” table as well as the suggested amounts listed on the other pet food label. In other words, feed 1% to 1.5% of Paw Naturaw organic, frozen, raw diet per 10 pounds of total canine companion of which equals 1.6 ounces to 2.4 ounces per 10 pounds.

Feeding Paw Naturaw Diets as a Supplement:

Add one tablespoon of chosen Paw Naturaw organic, frozen, raw diet per 10 pounds of companion canine weight at each meal.
