We don't have any products to sell. While we were
researching dog nutrition we liked the idea behind
the name "Pure4m" so we trademarked it.
It hit us that raw food is in the most natural and
purest form. There is little that people can do to
raw food to improve its nutritional value.
Dog History and Nutritional Needs
One hundred-thousand years is still not enough time
to change the nutritional needs of a species. The
nutritional needs of the domestic dog, Canis familiaris,
is still similar to that of their distant cousins
the wolf (Canis lupus).
In-Species Breeding Does Not Change Nutritional Needs
The domestic dog has been bred over the last 4000 years
to serve their human friends, yet this relative short
breeding time period has done little to change nutritional
needs. This is because breeding has not changed how
a dog's system works.
The only way to change nutritional needs is to breed
dissimilar animals (crossbreeding). Without crossbreeding,
you can change size and shape but not the underlying
nutritional needs. Nutritional needs are based on
physiology, or how the animal's systems work together
as a whole organism. From chewing (mostly tearing)
in the mouth, to the breakdown action in the stomach,
through the digestion absorption in the intestines,
to the nutritional uptake and exchange in the cells.
Domestic dogs are still predators.
We should feed them accordingly.
Amount Varies Nutrition Does Not
While the domestic dog can be breed into many shapes,
size is the most important factor on the amount of
food required. Climate and activity level are other
important factors. Internal chemistry and nutritional
needs are still the same.
