Raw Feeding For Dogs

Nutriment Releases Its 2019 Consumer Survey Results

Nutriment, an award-winning, market leader of premium raw pet food, has released the results of its 2019 consumer survey. Designed to provide insight into the dog food landscape as it stands today, the survey delved into consumer perspectives on raw feeing for dogs, nutrition and health.

The survey, which launched in February of 2019, and was promoted during renowned dog show Crufts in March of 2019, attracted more than 2,000 responses from dog owners across the UK and Ireland. As an innovator in the raw pet food arena, Nutriment consistently strives to be responsive and proactive to consumer demands and requirements. By inviting consumers to submit their views and experiences of their pet’s health and feeding, Nutriment plan to utilise this knowledge in the development of further raw feeding products and solutions.

Great Health Benefits Why conduct the survey?

Of the dog owners surveyed, 95% who changed their pet’s food to a raw diet felt it had improved their dog’s health. Further to this, 48% felt that a diet change was effective in treating their dog’s health condition, compared to just 14% for vet prescriptions and 14% for homeopathic/holistic remedies. The survey also produced some very interesting feedback on common health complaints for dogs and raw feeding as a solution. For example, 34% of the dog owners surveyed reported diarrhoea and 28% reported itchy skin as common health conditions for their dogs. 85% and 84% felt that a raw diet helped to treat diarrhoea and itchy skin respectively.
