Boost Your Dog and Cat's Nutrition with Raw Foods
Raw foods make already nutritious ingredients as digestible as possible by keeping them, well, raw. That’s why they’re minimally processed, using single-source protein (muscle or organ meat) as their first ingredient. This nutritionally resembles what dogs and cats ate before they were domesticated. Still not sure? Let Pet Supplies Plus be your raw foods guide.
Reap the Benefits of Raw Food
Raw food isn’t about being the “cool” pet parent. In fact, your dog and cat don’t have to completely switch to a 100% raw diet. They can still get the advantages of raw food as a meal topper or by mixing it in with their already healthy kibble or wet food. You could even use it as a treat. The flexibility of raw foods is just one of the many benefits they offer.
- Healthier Skin and Coat
Raw foods have higher amounts of omega fatty acids and amino acids that help improve your pet’s skin and coat health.
- Higher Energy Levels
The easily digestible proteins and nutrients found in raw foods provide a steady source of energy throughout the day.
- Improved Immunity
The whole ingredients found in raw foods can strengthen your pet’s immune system and deal with allergens more effectively.
- Better Dental Health
Raw food enzymes help fight bacteria that can cause gum inflammation, plaque and tarter buildup, and other dental issues.
- More Efficient Metabolism
The digestibility of raw food ingredients promotes metabolism that helps burn fatty deposits and increase muscle mass.
- Stronger Gut Health
Many raw foods include prebiotics and probiotics in their formula to help promote digestion and nutrient absorption.
What’s What: Frozen Raw vs Freeze-Dried Foods
The moisture content in frozen raw food is considerably high . In comparison, freeze-dried food that is still considered raw has had the moisture—not the nutrients—removed. This is done using a combination of very cold temperatures and a special vacuum process. Since there’s no moisture, freeze-dried foods don’t have to be kept refrigerated or frozen.
