Rotating Proteins: Why Variety Matters

Variety, some say, is the spice of life. We, at Rawsome Pet Pantry, believe variety is the cornerstone to a balanced raw diet. Where we mix it up is with proteins! Rotating proteins in your pet’s diet has many benefits. When it comes to how many proteins you rotate through, factors like your budget, your pet’s tolerance, and protein availability will come into play.   

1. Provides balance: Every protein type offers unique amino acid and nutrient profiles. Rotating the proteins you give your pet can help ensure they’re getting their nutritional needs met.
2. Promotes gut health: Alternating protein sources as part of your pet’s balanced diet can help prevent digestive problems and support gut health. Read more on gut health here.
3. Prevents sensitivities: A dog can develop allergies to certain proteins if they're fed the same protein source over an extended period. Rotating proteins can help prevent this by exposing the dog to different protein sources.
4. Peaks taste buds: Ever get bored eating the same thing again and again? Our pets can experience the same. By providing them with protein variety, we can keep their mouths happy and their mealtimes stimulating. Plus, you can figure out which proteins they like and thrive on, and which may not be a good fit.
5. Protects Your Budget: Sourcing can make some proteins more expensive than others. But, by rotating proteins, you can still provide your pet with diversity and not break the bank.

We hope this information helps you and your pet stay happy and healthy on your Rawsome feeding adventure.
