Pet Empawrium & Spaw has always felt that raw meaty bones were an integeral part of a healthy, raw food diet. After a year of planning, regulations and safety considerations, we have our first raw meaty bones in!

Physiologically speaking, our fur-kids are nearly identical to their wild ancestors. They are carnivores, as noted by their eyes, teeth, stomachs and digestive tracts. They have evolved to eat whole prey. From packs of wolves hunting and bringing down large game such as deer, and bison, individual wolves hunting and eating small prey such as squirrels, rabbits and an occasional bird, to small wildcats hunting and consuming birds, rodents, reptiles, rodents, eggs and insects.

Prey animals are made up of hair, skin, muscle, bone, connective tissues, fat and organ. Prey model or raw meaty bone diets involve feeding meat and bone which are as close to their natural or “whole” state as possible. They are free of all processing, additives, chemicals or subtractions. They are in the most simple form of meat and bone. They aren’t easily dissected into I.U.s or percentages of vitamins, minerals, protein, fat carbohydrates, etc. Their true benefit lies in that they remain in their natural, synergistic form.

For us to be able to provide a more archetypical diet to our carnivorous fur-kids, we can model their diet based on wild prey diets, by using raw meaty bones in foods more readily available to us. Because most of these will be foods raised for human consumption, it's crucial that we provide as much variety in our pets' prey model diet as possible. This will help to make up for the fact that commercially raised livestock does not contain the concentration and variety of nutrients that's present in wild prey. Also, a good whole food supplement can help cover our bases. (we recommend BioPreperation)

It is popular to start with chicken because it is easy for both dogs and cats to adjust to, can be fed in a myriad of ways, and it is reasonably priced, though turkey can work better for larger dogs. Eventually, your dog should be able to eat beef, buffalo, elk, goat, duck, lamb, ostrich, pork, rabbit, venison, as well as most fish.
