Raw/Home Prepared Diets
In the past few years, we have seen a wonderful increase in the number of high quality, natural and/or raw diets available for our pets. We at Kensington Veterinary Hospital are really excited about this! We prefer the more natural diets as they are generally of excellent nutritional quality and safe. Many of our clients prefer to home cook for their pets; we can help you find recipes, and some of the links below may be useful as well. Raw food diets are not good for every animal-some do NOT do well on them- but for many pets, they are excellent.
