Raw Meaty Bones and Our Pet's Protein Requirements

To maximize our pets' health, we should supply our pets eat protein that mimics the protein eaten by their wild ancestors.

From that standpoint of modern nutrition, when assessing a food as a protein source, that food has to supply adequate levels of protein, the correct balance of essential amino acids and allow optimum digestibility/availability of the protein.

Feeding out pets raw meaty bones fulfills all the above criteria.

The protein from raw meaty bones is superior to that found in modern processed pet foods in every way. It is not heat damaged, it is easily digested, it is not derived from rendered animal products, grains or legumes, and it is high balanced levels of the essential amino acids. Basically the protein from raw meaty bones is of high biological value. It actively promotes good health. Other excellent sources of high quality protein apart from raw meaty bones include (raw/not cooked): eggs, fish and cottage cheese.

The problems seen when food contains poor quality protein include a failure to grow or reproduce properly, anemia, poor hair coat, weak thin muscles, a poorly functioning immune system and badly formed bones and joints. In other words, when a diet contains poor quality protein (as with processed pet food), any part of your dog (or cat) could be badly made and function poorly.
