Why Fresh Food is Essential for Your Dog’s Health
Just like humans, dogs benefit greatly from consuming fresh and balanced diets. Fresh food provides essential nutrients, such as higher quality proteins, vitamins, and antioxidants, that are often lost during the high-heat processing used to make traditional kibble. Research shows that fresh diets contribute to better digestion, improved coat health, and stronger immune systems in dogs(
Additionally, fresh food lacks the fillers, preservatives, and artificial additives commonly found in kibble, making it a safer and healthier option for your pet. The American Kennel Club (AKC) has highlighted the nutritional benefits of feeding fresh foods, such as improved weight management and reduced risk of chronic diseases like diabetes(
The Inconvenience of Feeding Fresh Food
Despite the well-documented health benefits, many pet owners are reluctant to make the switch from kibble to fresh food due to the inconvenience associated with its preparation. Fresh food typically needs to be stored in the freezer, thawed before feeding, and kept refrigerated to maintain its freshness—an ongoing and time-consuming process. Feeding fresh food also becomes nearly impossible when you're not home or traveling, making kibble the default, though less desirable, option.
A recent study found that 70% of pet owners who stopped feeding fresh food did so due to its cumbersome preparation requirements and inconvenience(
This has led many dog owners to revert to kibble despite its lower nutritional value, due to the ease of feeding and longer shelf life.
