Fasting for Dogs
Fasting is the single greatest natural healing therapy.
Fasting is the avoidance of all solid food, promoting the intake of fluids. The most stringent form of fasting allows only for water as the sole liquid in the diet.
Fasting allows energy to be diverted away from digestion and into the healing process. It increases the process of elimination and helps the digestive tract to rest and recuperate by allowing the stomach, intestines, pancreas, kidneys, liver and gallbladder to deal with the nitrogen waste from meat consumption.
Once the body has cleansed itself of wastes, it is able to assimilate the more healthful nutrients found in a natural, raw diet and gain a higher state of health. Fasting is an important corrective and rejuvenative process in the cycle of nutrition.
The benefits of fasting include:
- Conserves energy
- Revitalizes
- Relaxes and energizes the body and mind
- Rests the digestive organs
- Improves the senses
- Reduces allergies
- Builds resistance to disease
- Detoxifies
- Optimizes health
We recommend your dog be fasted one half day each week and one full day each month.
