Raw feeding became trendy because people wanted “natural” diets for their dogs. But natural doesn’t always mean optimal — especially for active dogs.

❗ Why Raw Isn’t the Best Choice for Outdoor Dogs

  • Raw meat can contain Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, and parasites

  • Dogs shed these pathogens onto gear, car seats, sleeping bags, bedding

  • Most homemade raw diets are nutritionally unbalanced

  • Raw bones can fracture teeth or cause dangerous blockages

  • There is no scientific evidence raw-fed dogs perform better outdoors

In reality, the risks outweigh the benefits for most adventure-focused households.
