Live Longer - RAWPLICITY 

Naturally we do the best for them to ensure they are well cared for and live long, happy and healthy lives.

Lippert and Sapy conducted a study* with ‘Animals without Frontiers’ to investigate the numerous influences on a dog’s life expectancy. This incorporated not only the animal’s natural characteristics (such as breed, type, size, weight) but those that we impose upon them in the home, including diet.

INCREASED LIFE EXPECTANCY

After following 522 dogs over a period of five years, their evidence concluded that diet was the most profound and dramatic determination in life expectancy. The dogs fed on homemade style food, with fresh, quality ingredients, when compared to an industrially produced canned food, lived more than 32 months (nearly 3 years) longer.

FRESH FOOD REALLY DOES MATTER

If we think about it, it’s obvious why: we (humans) are told by health experts, dieticians and the government to incorporate fresh, healthy food into our diets and avoid reliance on processed foods. Fresh food really does matter, and has a significant impact on our health. Why should it be different for our dogs?

A PATH TO BETTER HEALTH

So there it is - a natural diet full of fresh nutrition is one of the ways you can work towards better health, wellbeing and a longer life expectancy for your four-legged friend.
