CAN A FRESH FOOD DIET GIVE YOUR DOG BALANCED NUTRITION?
A lot of education and debate on what should and should not be fed to dogs have given rise to many new dog food choices – one of them being Fresh Food for Dogs. While some pet parents believe in the power and benefit of Fresh Food for Dogs, others wonder if fresh food can give all the essential nutrients that their dog needs in the diet. Let’s discuss this…

If there is one thing that we all agree upon, it’s that our dogs are members of our family and they deserve nothing but the best. We want them to have a long and healthy life and food plays a very critical part in that.

When it comes to nutrition, dogs are just like us – the better they eat the healthier they are. Making the right food choices for your dog is one of your most important decisions as a pet parent.

With thousands of different food choices available in the market, choosing the right dog food is a tough call. Opinions about canine nutrition vary among experts; and many times they do not agree with each other, leaving the pet parents even more confused. This is because there is no one right answer to what is the best diet for dogs.

What might work for one dog might not work for the other, but it is universally accepted that a balanced, high-quality species-appropriate diet, rich in all the essential nutrients, that gets easily absorbed; will give your dog a long and healthy life.
