Rawspirit Canine Nutrition
Here at Sohalispirit Labradors, we are deeply committed to providing the best start for our puppies through a raw, species-appropriate diet.
As an advanced canine nutrition specialist with over a decade of experience, I have witnessed firsthand the remarkable benefits of raw feeding. All our puppies come from raw-fed parents and are weaned directly onto raw meat from just 3 weeks of age, setting the foundation for their lifelong health and vitality.
The Raw Advantage
Feeding a raw diet from the beginning gives our puppies a far superior constitution compared to those not fed a raw primordial diet. This early introduction to raw nutrition helps foster their immune systems, promotes optimal growth, and supports lifelong health.
The Power of Epigenetics
Epigenetics, the study of how environmental factors influence gene expression, is fundamental in shaping the long-term health of our puppies. By feeding their parents a raw, species-appropriate diet, we help optimise their genetic expression, enhancing their immune system, metabolism, and overall vitality.
How raw feeding benefits our puppies
One of the most significant advantages of epigenetics is its ability to “turn off” genes responsible for inflammation, which can help prevent or minimise allergic reactions. Many commercial diets trigger chronic inflammation in dogs, leading to allergies and skin issues. Raw diets can also support digestive health, bone and joint development, and more!
-
Reduced Allergies and Inflammation
A raw, nutrient-dense diet can regulate gene expression to reduce the body’s inflammatory response, promoting clearer skin, healthier coats, and fewer allergic reactions.
-
Improved Immune Function
Puppies from raw-fed parents develop stronger immune systems. A raw diet encourages the proper regulation of immune genes, making puppies more resistant to infections and less likely to develop autoimmune conditions.
-
Enhanced Digestive Health
A raw diet supports the development of a healthy gut microbiome, which is essential for proper digestion. This microbiome influences gene expression related to digestion, enabling puppies to absorb nutrients more effectively, reducing the risk of gastrointestinal issues.
-
Optimal Joint and Bone Development
The epigenetic benefits of raw feeding also impact skeletal and joint health. Puppies benefit from stronger bones and healthier joints, minimising the risk of developmental disorders and long-term conditions such as arthritis.
-
Protection Against Chronic Diseases
Epigenetic changes influenced by a raw diet help reduce the likelihood of developing chronic conditions like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. By fostering better metabolic control, our puppies can enjoy better long-term health.
