What Is A German Shorthaired Pointer Raw Dog Food Diet?

Raw dog food (aka BARF Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) is designed to mimic a dogs ancestral diet based on the dogs carnivorous and primal instincts. A raw diet represents what dogs ate in the wild millions of years ago. It consists of raw ingredients. All the ingredients are uncooked to preserve the enzyme content, minerals, vitamins, and other vital nutrients.

There are three types of raw dog diets: frozen, freeze-dried, and homemade. A raw dog food diet plan typically consists of the following:

• Meat protein
• Bones, either whole or ground
• Organ meats (i.e., livers and kidneys)
• Raweggs
• Dog-safe fresh fruits and vegetables
• Some dairy, such as yogurt.

A variation of the BARF model is known as theprey modelraw (PMR) food. The prey model excludes fruits, dairy, and vegetables.

Can German Shorthaired Pointer Eat Raw Meat?

Yes. German Shorthaired Pointers (dogs) are true carnivores. They can thrive on a raw meat diet. GSPs can eat raw meat and other raw ingredients. Genetic and anatomical research shows dogs have noticeable carnivorous traits that allow them to digest raw meat protein more quickly while killing potential bacteria in decaying meat.

Dogs also have a remarkable omnivorous capacity but areoptimized for eating meat. German Shorthaired Pointers can safely enjoy balanced raw meals. Read our Can dogs eat raw meat? article to learn all the research that supports GSP raw meat consumption.

If you plan to feed raw meat to your dog, you need to do so as part of a balanced raw meal plan with your vets supervision.

Raw Dog Diet Research

• Increased lifespan. The most extensive study on raw-feeding dogs concluded that a raw diet could add as much as32 months (almost three years) to a dogs life.^[1]Dr. Peter Dobias, who has 30 years of veterinary experience and has advocated for raw pet diets since 1995, says,From my experience, if people feed a raw diet, they will increase their dogs lifespan by 25 percent. Generally, raw-fed dogs are so much healthier. The changes are profound.^[2]
• Deemed healthy. A study on feeding practices in the United States and Australia indicated that 98.7% (where 16.2% of 98.7% feed bones or raw food to their dogs) deemed their pet healthy.^[3]
• Balanced without supplementation. A study showed its possible to make balanced raw dog food that meets European Pet Food Industry (FEDIAF and Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) nutritional guidelineswithout additional synthetic supplementation.^[4]
• Beneficial. Lisa M. Freeman Freeman, a nutrition professor at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University, tells WebMD many benefits attributed to a raw food diet for dogs, such as ashinier coat,are the result of the high-fat composition of the typical raw diet. Furthermore, For most animals,[raw diets] are more beneficial than processed foods, says Dr. Doug Knueven, DVM, of the Beaver Animal Clinic in Beaver, PA.^[5]

German Shorthaired Pointer Raw FoodRisks

There are some potential risks involved when preparing raw food for your dog.

• Ingredient contamination. Raw ingredients pose a higher risk of contamination with potentially harmful pathogens (i.e., Salmonella, E.Coli) that can sicken your pet and possibly be transmitted to humans.
• Choking. Feeding whole bones to dogs presents a risk of choking, broken teeth, intestinal obstruction, or internal punctures.
• Nutritionally unbalanced. Cooking a nutritionally unbalanced raw food diet can jeopardize your dogs health.
• Raw allergies. Dogs might be allergic to raw ingredients. We advise doing an at-home dog allergy test before picking the ingredients for your dogs next meal.

How To Reduce Raw Dog Food Risks

• Washing. Wash all meats, organs, and other raw ingredients.
• Sourcing. Buy raw products from reputable grocery stores or butchers with high sanitary standards.
• Raw bones. Avoid big bones and feed only raw bones that are small or ground bones. Never feed cooked bones. They become softer after cooking and are more likely to splinter when chewed.
• Speak with a vet nutritionist. They can provide nutritional guidance to formulate the best German Shorthaired Pointer raw diet or recommend a raw food delivery service.

Pro tip: Freeze all your meats for at least 2 to 3 weeks to kill any parasites Research found that Salmonella is highly sensitive to freezing and showed survival of 1% or less after 48 hours. E. coli proved less sensitive, showing a survival rate ranging from 10% to 30% during the first week of storage. However, after two weeks of storage, most samples declined compared to salmonellae.^[6]

German Shorthaired Pointer Raw Diet Cost

The average price of traditional kibble is $1.97 per pound, while high-end kibble is $3.466 per pound.^[7] In contrast, according to our calculations, the average price for the markets most popular, high-end raw commercial foods is $6.4 per pound, with the lower-end raw options costing $3.8 per pound.

We also analyzed the price for the most popular meats. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, beef, chicken, and turkey have an average price per pound of $3.9, $1.5, and $1.28, respectively.

If you switch your German Shorthaired Pointer to a raw homemade diet, your food expenses shouldnt vary much compared to what you spend on kibble. It might be cheaper. Conversely, buying commercial raw-meat food over traditional kibble is a tad more expensive, but we think the health benefits and convenience are worth the price. Read our feeding raw dog food on a budget guide for tips on how to feed raw for cheap.

German Shorthaired Pointer Raw Food: Cooking, Handling & Serving Tips

Making raw dog food for German Shorthaired Pointers requires meticulous attention to detail at every step.

• Never store raw pet food and human food together. Prepare and store raw pet food away from human-grade food as a preventive measure against cross-contamination. Use separate cutting boards and different cooking utensils to prepare your and your dogs food.
• Dont wash raw meat, only produce. Contrary to popular belief,raw food should not be washed or rinsed because it increases the spread of bacteria and the risk of cross-contamination. According to the USDA, meat and poultry are cleaned during processing, so further washing is unnecessary.
• Freezing and storing. Place raw dog food in a tightly sealed package or container and store it in the freezer at 0 F. Properly frozen raw food will prevent the growth of microbes (including mold and yeast) and kill parasites if frozen for up two weeks.
• Never thaw raw dog food in water or the microwave. Avoid thawing in water; nutrients could leach into the surrounding water. And do not microwave raw food. You will cook the foodThaw raw food in the refrigerator or countertop. Keep the refrigerators temperature at or below 40 F (35 F ideally). According to theUSDAs Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), bacteria grow most rapidly in the range of temperatures between 40 and 140 F, the Danger Zone.
• Once raw is thawed, Fido should eat it within two days. Store raw dog food in a container with a lid and place it in the refrigerator for no more than 24-48 hours. Keeping food refrigerated for 3 to 4 days might not hurt, but it increases the chances of cross-contamination and spoilage. Freeze-dried food can be stored at room temperature.
• Throw away leftovers from the day. Dont leave raw dog food out too long. It can result in spoiled food and bacteria growth. Cover any leftover raw food and put it in the refrigerator to be fed at a later meal. You should dispose of any uneaten food. This helps keep food at its peak freshness and avoid any digestive upset.
• Before, during, and after cooking (serving), sanitize the area where your dog eats. The FSIS (Food Safety and Inspection Service) recommends washing your hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. After each use, wash cutting boards, feeding bowls, countertops, and utensils such as knives with hot, soapy water. Please avoid using the same dishrag to wash your dishes, or you could contaminate them with raw food particles.

Pro tip: Make sure your dogs bowl is made fromstainless steellike this one. Other materials like plastic and porcelain can trap germs over time due to the porosity of their surfaces.
