Switching to fresh food from Tasmanian Dog Food Co. brings numerous benefits:
- Enhanced Nutrition: Fresh food retains more nutrients compared to the high-heat processed alternatives. Vitamins, proteins, and essential fatty acids are preserved, contributing to better health and energy levels.
- Improved Digestibility: Fresh meals are easier for dogs to digest, which means your pet absorbs more nutrients from their food, leading to healthier digestion and less waste.
- Customizable Meals: Fresh food can be tailored to meet the specific nutritional needs of your dog, considering their age, weight, and any health concerns like allergies or sensitivities.
- Better Taste: Dogs simply enjoy the taste of fresh foods more. Fresh ingredients are naturally more appealing and can help improve appetite in picky eaters.
Kibble, the most common type of dog food, is often perceived as a convenient feeding option. However, it's important to understand the compromises made during its production. Kibble is typically cooked at high temperatures, a process that not only diminishes the food's nutritional value but can also lead to the degradation of proteins and vitamins essential for your dog’s health. Moreover, to achieve a longer shelf life and lower costs, many commercial kibbles are laden with fillers like corn and wheat, offering little nutritional benefit to pets.
Another concern with kibble is the source of its ingredients. The meat used in many dry dog foods is often described as "indiscriminate," a vague term that hides the true origin of these proteins. It’s not just about quality but also about the ethical sourcing of these ingredients.
