Raw Turkey for Dogs

Raw turkey for dogs? Some folks are concerned about bacterial or pathogen exposures. This is always a risk and occurs in the processed pet food industries. In fact, more processed pet foods have been recalled than raw pet foods. Many people feed raw turkey to their dogs for years and have happy, healthy dogs to show for it.

Turkey is a very good prey for dogs, and it offers some unique benefits. Turkey has lots of lean white meat, providing an excellent source of protein comparative to beef per pound with less fat. Turkey is also an excellent source of complete proteins containing all needed amino acids.


Not only is turkey rich in protein, but it is also full of great minerals such as zinc, niacin, phosphorus, selenium, and potassium. It is also high in vitamin B-12. B-12 provides energy to the muscles and helps prevent the buildup of homocysteine. Homocysteine is an amino acid that has been linked to mental disorders.


Turkey is lower in saturated fat and cholesterol which can help with weight control. The niacin found in turkey may help lower LDL (bad cholesterol) and increase HDL (good cholesterol).

Does Raw Turkey for Dogs have Tryptophan in it?

Most people are familiar with the notion that turkey contains tryptophan. However, not many understand what tryptophan is – it is an amino acid with sleep-inducing properties. Reports also suggest that it may have cancer-preventing benefits and can even work to enhance your mood. Though there is a common myth that eating too much turkey makes you sleepy, this is likely due to overeating rather than the actual amount of tryptophan in the food. So if your pup conks out after they have a big meal, it's probably because they enjoyed it too much!

Testimonials

Be your dog's hero and start them on raw dog food.

My toy poodle has digestive upset, ranging from stomach stagnation to liver sludge, acid reflux and every once in a while pancreas attack. Part if his healing protocol is to feed a raw diet, no veggies and gently cooked in a crock pot. He has gone from 5.8 pounds to 7.2 pounds in 2months. He has been sick for 7 months and this is the best step forward we have achieved to date. I will be slowly introducing him to the beef next and will start rotating proteins as we continue on this path.

My Pomeranian is flourishing on this raw diet. We have been using bjsrawpetfood for over 2 years now and have had nothing but great product and service. We use the autoship and packaging is the best. If you don’t know about the benefits of a raw diet for dogs and cats, read my previous reviews. It can’t be just raw, it needs to be premium and BJs is the way to go.

Terrific Turkey Blend
My pit bull puppy is allergic to seemingly everything. After some food trials, we found out it was the synthetic additives in kibble. We were referred to BJ’s from a friend who gets it for her dog. He went from itching and scratching constantly and having abnormal bowl movements–even on prescription food–to having healthy skin and normal bowls. His fur is shinier and softer, he has more energy and he’s more food motivated. Best of all, no more food allergy symptoms. THANK YOU for making this wonderful product with wholesome ingredients. You made one happy pittie (and pittie mama!) BTW he goes bananas over this blend! He loves the taste.
