Choosing the best diet to feed your dog can be a minefield, especially if they are fussy. In this episode I discuss the main risks and benefits of feeding raw and cooked diets, along with some strategies for getting your fussy dog to eat!

Check out the Our Pet's Health Academy to optimize your pet's health and happiness.

"I believe there are both benefits in raw diets and processed diets. However, my dog has a hard time being interested in his food enough to eat it and he struggles with keeping weight. I have tried all different mixes of foods so I was wondering if I could mix both cooked chicken and other cooked items of a raw diet into his daily ration of processed food?” - Justyce

• As far as raw vs cooked diets go, there is a lot to consider and certain risks and potential benefits everyone needs to be aware of:
  • Raw diet risks include - Parasites, Infection (a risk to pet AND owner!), a lack of balance
  • Raw benefits - nothing proven
  • Cooked commercial diet risks - Contamination, Formulation errors, Faddy/boutique diets are unproven
  • Benefits - Specific diets proven to be valuable treatment option in certain conditions
• Mixing cooked chicken and other cooked ingredients into a raw diet or cooked commercial diet is absolutely fine in my mind, and in fact, cooked chicken (or other meat) has fewer risks than raw meat.
  • One thing to consider is that adding a significant amount of "extras" to a commercial diet may have the effect of making it unbalanced. If fed as a topper though, to improve the palatability of a diet, this is really unlikely to be a problem.
