Cooking meat destroys the vital life force that is present in organic substances. Think of cooked meat as being already partially digested. It artificially and unnaturally breaks down the meat tissues - a task that your dog’s stomach, intestines, and digestive juices are meant to do. So when a dog eats cooked meat, it fails to engage these organs properly. Over time, these essential organs weaken and lose their natural functionality. Your dog’s taste receptors may also become desensitised.

Many dogs are fed a diet of mainly cooked food and sometimes dogs are deprived of meat-based foods altogether. Although these dogs manage to survive, they often become hosts to worms, emit unpleasant odours from their bodies, suffer from foul breath, and undergo rapid ageing. By roughly the age of seven, many dogs fed on such a diet will experience kidney disorders. Their vision and hearing may deteriorate, and their teeth accumulate brown deposits which require regular scraping by a veterinarian.
