Only Natural Pet Raw Bars Review
Only Natural Pet now makes a raw, frozen meat, bone and organ patty (or “bar”) that does not contain any grains, fruits or vegetables.

When asked if I would like to review them, I was intrigued and said “yes”. The first thing I noticed and had to laugh at was that the patties are made for cats! The similar patty Only Natual Pet makes for dogs contains: Sweet Potatoes, Apples, Broccoli, Carrots along with the raw meat, bone...

Some of the signs of bloat are that the dog will struggle to breathe which means that vital processes can be quickly shut off. In many cases, severe distress, pacing, a bloated stomach, excessive drooling and dry heaving is going on. If the gas is not relieved soon enough, death is very possibly!

I think they were a bit taken back by my response but they have happily reported that the dog is back to his happy, outgoing self and is actually helping those they meet to feel better too!
