Switch Your Dog to Raw! - Help Prevent Cancer and Other Diseases

[ashley ross]

Cancer is much more prevalent in dogs these days than it ever used to
be. Anyone can look at the numbers over time and see that as man
started to feed dogs kibble as opposed to their natural food, cancer
in dogs immediately increased as a statistic. When you think about it
your grandparent's dog probably died of old age, unfortunately these
days more and more dogs seem to be dying of cancer.
There are three major factors in the cause of cancer in dogs,
genetics, environment and Nutrition/Diet. Let's take a look at each in
turn.
Genetics, you can't do anything about this. Whatever genes your dog
has are the genes it has and you have to deal with what you have in
front of you.
Environment - if you live with a smoker or live in the city and
breathe bad air, pollution can affect whether or not you get Cancer.
While we all try to do our part for the environment, to a certain
degree we are all exposed to the same environmental pollutants.
Nutrition/Diet - this is the only variable we can control. The more we
look into nutrition the more it makes sense that to extend the life of
your dog and avoid cancer, the best solution is to improve its
nutrition. Feed it what its body is specifically designed to eat and
digest....
