Pawsome Nutrition: The Benefits of Real & Fresh Food for Your Pets

Aug 7, 2024
Let’s get real! Searching endlessly about ‘homemade pet food benefits’ doesn’t make it the most nutritious food for your little furry friends.

Our pet dogs and cats have different bodies and lifestyles, they require more than human homemade food. We, at Good Dog, are pet parents ourselves who have closely observed pet behaviour for over 3 decades. What did we learn?

Well for starters– fresh food has the most significant and drastic impact on the mental and physical health of our pooches.

Here are our insights on the fresh food benefits for cats and dogs.

The Pawsome Perks of Fresh Food

Feeding pets raw food that is made with real fresh ingredients is a must for every pet parent. Fresh pet food with human-grade ingredients ensures that your little angel gets all the essential vitamins, fatty acids and minerals for their health.

With fresh food for dogs and cats you can care for your pooch in the following ways:

Shinier Coat

Feeding your pet fresh, real food can lead to a noticeable improvement in their coat’s health and appearance. Fresh foods like fish, chicken, and eggs are rich in essential fatty acids, such as Omega-3 and Omega-6, which are crucial for maintaining a shiny, healthy coat.

Secondly, your furry babies will love the antioxidant and vitamin-rich properties of fresh food with improved skin health and reduced dryness, itchiness and irritation.

Tip: Read the Fine Print! Give your little pooch nutrients as nature intended by actually knowing what goes into their tummies.

Healthier Eyes

Every pooch loves to see their favourite Hooman! With the active presence of Vitamin A in chicken liver, and beta-carotene in carrots and pumpkin, feeding pets raw food can help maintain eye health for your pets.

Stronger Bones

Going on daily walkies or trying to sneak on the sofa in one jump, our whiskers need super strong bones for everyday activities.

Real food diets for dogs and cats like chicken, fish, pumpkin and flax seeds are great sources of calcium, phosphorus, and Vitamin D, all vital for bone health.

But that is not all, fresh food has a more balanced nutrient profile for our little mischief-makers. This helps in the optimal absorption of bone-strengthening minerals, ensuring they stay strong and active.

Supercharged Immunity

Here is the real truth– processed foods can lose much of their nutritional value during manufacturing or cooking. The true benefits of fresh food for pets come from the fact that fresh foods retain vital nutrients.

What does this do? Better immunity and gut health for our pets. Fresh meats, vegetables, and fruits are packed with vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Zinc, which are essential for maintaining a strong immune response.
