Modified Fasting Day for Raw Fed Dogs
BENEFITS OF FASTING

** promotes cell death (autophagy)
** reduces inflammation
** promotes healthy weight management
** increases longevity
HOW I FAST MY DOGS
** intermittent fasting: I feed my dogs between 10 am - 5 pm daily
** 20 hour fasting: once a week, my dogs have a 20-22 hour fast when I feed a heavier meal Wednesday evening, and they eat again Thursday afternoon
** modified fasting: I do this at least 2x weekly. I began doing this for dogs prone to hunger pukes, it's a way to give the gut a break and gain some of the benefits of fasting, without stress. On some modified fasting days, I feed raw meaty bones only
I add the organ blend, spirulina, and raw egg to add more nutrients to this light meal.
I only fast adult dogs.
HOW MY DOGS RESPOND
My dogs don't have an issue with fasting days. I keep them occupied with walks, games, play dates, etc, so the time goes by quickly. I also refrain from eating in front of them, so I fast alongside them, which is great for my health too.
DISCLAIMER: I share what I do for my dogs to expose dog owners to fresh food / raw feeding. I do not tell others what they should or should not do for their dogs. While many things I do are general, some things may not work for your dog. Please do your research before attempting to replicate information you learn on social media.
