The Pros:

Dogs love raw meat. It’s in their DNA! The benefits of feeding your Pomsky a raw diet are many. Raw meat is a natural source of protein, which helps maintain muscle mass and supports the immune system. It also contains enzymes that help with digestion. In addition to this, many commercial pet foods cut production costs by using filler ingredients that are not as bioavailable as the real deal. they can even be harmful, and recalls on dog food are definitely not unheard of!

The Cons:

If done wrong, putting your Pomsky on a raw meat diet can be dangerous. If you’re thinking of transitioning your Pomsky to a raw diet, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. 

1. You need to get educated on your pomsky’s nutritional needs. Dogs require nutrition and minerals in different proportions than humans do, and if you’re not careful you could be creating a nutritional deficiency in your dog’s diet without knowing. We recommend consulting with your veterinarian before making the big decision. A good resource to begin reading about your pomsky’s nutritional needs is perfectlyrawsome.com. They also include a few nutritionally balanced recipes to get you started.
2. You need to always be mindful of how you handle the raw meats in order to prevent food-borne illness for both your pomsky and yourself. Always take the appropriate steps to prevent cross-contamination!

Our Tips:

• Start with one new food at a time. If your pomsky is used to eating only commercial pet foods like kibble you will need to gradually introduce new foods in order to give your dog’s digestive system time to adjust.
• Not all meats are created equal! Make sure to buy high-quality meat from a reputable source. High-quality meat is less likely to contain bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli. These can cause serious health problems in dogs, including diarrhea and vomiting. In addition to containing bacteria, low-quality meats can also contain parasites such as roundworms, tapeworms, and Giardia. You can further reduce the risk of bacteria and parasites by storing your pomsky’s meat in the freezer. By storing the food in the freezer you kill the parasites and bacteria and significantly reduce the risk of your pomsky getting sick.
• Avoid thawing meat on the counter. Thawing the meat on the counter can cause bacteria growth and cross-contamination. Always thaw your meats in the refrigerator!
• Keep any raw leftovers in a container in the refrigerator.
• Wash hands and utensils before and after handling any raw meat.
