Each recipe is made to maximize nutrition and flavor, and this is by cooking: at low temperatures in small batches and in a kitchen that solely handles human-grade ingredients Any commercial fresh food product abides by AAFCO standards, and some are even human-grade, which means it's good enough for humans to eat! “Human-grade” also means that the same safety measures taken to make human food are taken to make fresh dog food. Fresh dog food also only uses real, natural ingredients (which you can see and pronounce!), with no preservatives, fillers, or artificial ingredients or flavors. Pup parents who feed their dog fresh dog food have noticed things like: Increased energy Softer, shinier coat Better breath and poops Due to the freshness of the ingredients and lack of preservatives, fresh dog food is typically shipped on ice and stored in the freezer. Pet parents then take out a pre-portioned pack to thaw in the fridge the day before it's needed. It can typically remain in the fridge for a few days before the freshness starts to spoil. Most fresh dog food applies an algorithm to calculate your pup’s portion, based on inputs such as age, weight, breed, activity level, and any allergies your pup may have. Fresh dog food is highly digestible too, more so than traditional, processed kibble, so typically fewer calories are needed to get the necessary levels of nutrients for your pup. Dog parents could also go the route of preparing fresh, homemade food for their pups. It is important to note, though, that according to the Merck Veterinary Manual, “Most homemade diets do not undergo the scrutiny and rigorous testing applied to complete and balanced commercial diets. If pet owners wish to feed their pets homemade diets, the diets should be prepared and cooked using recipes formulated by a veterinary nutritionist.” The fresh dog foods currently on the market also have you covered in this respect. Fresh dog food can be a great option for pups who have sensitive stomachs, are picky eaters, or who need some help with weight loss. The transition from traditional dry kibble to fresh food can be a tough one since the quality and processing of the ingredients are so different, but we’ll include a link in the video description below to a step-by-step guide to transitioning your pup.
