The Raw Truth

Welcome dog lovers!  This is a very exciting episode because we are going to be geeking out about dogs with Kimberly Gauthier, who is a dog mom to four and founder of Keep the Tail Wagging, a lifestyle blog about raw feeding and life as a dog mom.  Her foray into raw feeding spawned healthy dogs, a personal lifestyle change, and two books about raw feeding that are available on Amazon.

You’ve had a blog about raw feeding and nutrition for about 9 years now right?  Can you tell us how your journey started?

Through the years, what are some of the most important things that you’ve learned about canine nutrition?

Do you think more and more people are ditching the processed food and changing the way they feed their dogs?

I thought it would be fun to talk about some of the myths we hear when it comes to raw feeding and get your reaction to each (True or False?):

1.   Dogs will become aggressive and bloodthirsty killers

2.   Raw feeding will make dogs sick from harmful bacteria

3.     Cooked meat is more nutritious than raw

4.     A Raw Meat Diet Isn’t A Balanced Diet

5.     Feeding A Raw Meat Diet Is Time Consuming And Complicated

6.    Most Dog Owners Can’t Afford To Feed Raw

Any thoughts on air dried or freeze dried raw?

Thoughts on adding supplements to a raw diet?

Being in this space of raw nutrition for dogs for so long, what is your biggest takeaway that you’d like to leave our listeners with?
