Benefits of Fresh Food


Would you eat your dog's food?

In recent years the food that we eat and cook have undergone a healthy makeover, we strive to keep a more fresh and natural diet, yet our dogs are still eating the same boring dry kibble. Even though the store-bought dog food contains the vitamins, minerals and nutrients needed it also has ingredients that we can’t even pronounce. It is processed under high temperatures in order to extend the shelf life and let's be honest it doesn’t look appetizing at all. All Bark Kitchens meals are packed with reshest hand-picked human grade ingredients.  There are no artificial ingredients, preservatives, chemicals, or fillers of any kind. At Bark Kitchens is if we can’t pronounce it, we don’t use it. Our meals are slowly prepared and lightly cooked in order to provide a balanced and highly nutrient meal for your dog's bowl. 

Besides the fact that fresh food is better that processed foods there are numerous health benefits of a fresh food diet. Below are some of the most notable benefits of a fresh pet diet.

Processed food is hard for the dog digestive system, they can't break down the nutrients completely. Properly prepared fresh ingredients are more digestible. Meat proteins and pureed vegetables will give your dog a solid punch of nutrients, minerals and vitamins resulting in a lot more energy and endurance. Our 9-year-old pup Benjie enjoys longer walks and a lot more play time than before. 

Skin allergy conditions are very common for dogs. Fresh food contains nutrients like natural fatty acids, zinc, vitamin A, B and E that are essential for a dog's healthy skin and to reduce allergic reactions. The fatty oils in the fresh food are beneficial for a shiny, soft coat for your dog. The bright and colorful blend of kale, spinach, carrots and sweet potatoes contains a high level of Vitamin A providing brighter eyes and better eye health overall.

Commercially available dog food contains an excessive amount of fiber. Even though fiber is important, too much of it makes a dogs tummy work hard at breaking it down that it becomes difficult to absorb the rest of the nutrients. Bark Kitchens meals do not contain high amounts of crude fiber, the balanced fresh meal provides fiber and active cultures only from natural sources and in the right amount. The result is you will see smaller and firmer stools. 

The low temperature cooking process, fresh veggies and freshly cooked meats provide a rich mix of vitamins, minerals and zinc that maintains a dog's healthy immune system. A healthy immune system helps your dog feel better every day.

We strongly believe that a processed food diet is the main factor to the increasing rate of obesity, cancer, diabetes and allergies among our pets. We strive to eat a healthier, more nutritious diet for a longer and better life so why not do it for your pet as well? We started with the question "Would you eat your dog's food?", I would not eat kibble, but I did try all of Bark Kitchens dog meals. Let your dog enjoy the same high-quality food you eat, there is no better feeling than watching our dogs eat something healthy, delicious and full of all the best, tasty ingredients around!
