We asked four professionals from different sides of the debate to weigh in. Raw Essentials vet Dr Rebecca Brown spends her days consulting with clients about their pets’ health issues and figuring out how she can help them via a species-appropriate raw diet. She’s long had an interest in wholefoods and lives by the quote, often credited to Hippocrates: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” Rebecca says the company supports those who choose to give their pets raw food to make sure they do it well. “We frequently observe positive, sometimes phenomenal, health benefits and feel happy to extend this to as many pets as possible.”
