There’s often a debate surrounding whether you should feed your dog dry or fresh dog food. If you’ve been thinking about putting your dog onto a fresh dog food diet, you’ve probably been wondering ‘What exactly is fresh dog food?’
Luckily for you, here at Green Pantry, we believe that the best fresh dog food is our fresh dog food range packed full of delicious and nutritious ingredients. In this blog, we’ll dive a bit deeper into our recipes and tell you just how beneficial fresh food is for your beloved dog.
Let’s get into it…
What is fresh dog food?
So, what is fresh dog food?
When we’re talking about fresh dog food, we’re referring to our wet-consistency natural recipes. They are made from 100% natural ingredients with recognisable produce such as plenty of fresh meats and fish, vegetables, and fruits. Unlike our dry kibble dog food, our fresh food can be stored in your fridge or freezer. And they’ve been formulated by vets – so you know you’re putting goodness into your dog’s bowl!
Owners would typically opt for fresh dog food because it uses real, whole ingredients and is easier to digest. It’s also a lifesaver for picky eaters – if your dog is turning their nose up at dry kibble, fresh might be the way forward.
What are the benefits of fresh dog food?
Fresh dog food is typically cooked at lower temperatures, meaning that it retains more of the natural nutrition of its ingredients. But what are the direct results and benefits of this? Let’s find out…
Improved digestion – Because of these low processing temperatures and high-quality ingredients, you’re reducing digestive strain. This leads to healthier poos and a healthier digestive system. Did you know that we’ve got digestive care dog food? Discover fresh and dry recipes that suit your pooch best.
Healthier skin & coats – The ingredients in our fresh food recipes, specifically salmon, trout, and high-quality meats, contain natural oils rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, which are extremely beneficial for maintaining healthy skin & coats.
More hydration – Because our fresh recipes are a wet consistency, they have a moisture content of around 65-75%, compared to dry kibble, which contains around 10%. This moisture can significantly support kidney and urinary tract health.
Peace of mind – When you purchase fresh dog food from Green Pantry, you know exactly what is going into your dog’s bowl. In most fresh foods, you’ll find 100% natural and beneficial ingredients that work together to support your dog’s health functions and dietary needs.
It can offer long-term health benefits – Some experts and vets believe that less-processed diets, like those associated with fresh dog food, can lead to better long-term health in your beloved pet. Our ingredients do what they can to ensure your dog is getting the correct nutrients for a happy, healthy life. Remember, a healthy diet needs to work alongside the right amount of exercise and rest.
It works well for dogs with allergies – Dogs who suffer from common allergies can do a lot better on fresh diets. Fresh diets usually include simpler ingredients, therefore making it easier to eliminate problem ingredients if your dog requires sole proteins.
Does your dog have hayfever or suffer from other allergies? We’ve got a great selection of hypoallergenic dog food, grain-free dog food, and single protein dog food to suit all diets.
