What Is A Raw Diet and Why Is It Better For Your Pet?

Food has a significant impact on overall wellness for every member of our family, including our pets.

Recent research has identified processed food as a major contributor to many illnesses including obesity, diabetes, and even cancer.  We intuitively know that a healthy diet for us includes a variety of fresh, whole, minimally processed ingredients.  It makes sense to extend this same principle to the dogs and cats we share our lives with.

Bacteria: Friend or Foe? (Part 1)

Microbes are all around us and have a huge impact on our food system, our lives and our health.  We think this is such an important subject that we’ve dedicated our next 3 blogs to discussing it.

So, are bacteria good or bad? For years, bacteria were villainized and the mainstream theory developed by Louis Pasteur in the 19^th century was that microbes were the cause of diseases in animals and people (1). This resulted in a health management strategy that focused on eliminating microbes from our environment and bodies and created a whole industry of disinfectants and pharmaceuticals designed to kill bacteria. 

Join RDBK, Dr. Becker, Rodney Habib and Julie Ann Lee for an inspiring evening dedicated to Pet Health!

We love our pets – they are our companions and are a part of our family. New research is emerging about food and other natural options that we as guardians can use to help dogs and cats live longer and healthier lives. At Red Dog Blue Kat, we are committed to being at the forefront of this positive change.

On March 26, Dr. Karen Becker, Rodney Habib, Julie Ann Lee and many other industry leaders will join us to celebrate the future of pet health and the Official Grand Opening of our new facility in Port Coquitlam! Although the event is by invitation only, you can join us here on Facebook and be a virtual part of it all – via Facebook Live.

4 Essential Supplements for a Truly Balanced Raw Pet Food Diet

We get a lot of questions about which supplements are best to use with a fresh food diet. Which ones are necessary and how do we choose the best ones? This week, we’re looking at our favorite supplements and their benefits when feeding a raw food diet.

10 Tips for Switching Your Pet to Raw Diet

At Red Dog Blue Kat, we want everyone to have the best experience possible as they introduce raw food to their pet. This week, we’ve put together a guide of all the tips and tricks to pave the way for a safe and successful transition. Here are our top 10 tips for a successful switch to raw diet:

1. PROBIOTICS! We recommend to start your pet on a live liquid probiotic supplement 2-4 weeks prior to the switch. During any food switch, there is a natural adjustment to your pet’s gut microbiome. This can sometimes cause a brief period of digestive unrest. Probiotics will help to support and maintain a healthy microbiome in the gut and prepare them for new foods. This is especially important for animals that have seemingly “sensitive tummies.”
