Naturally, our dogs were never meant to eat processed or cooked foods however, most pet food today is offered in a dry kibble form that is made this way. Clever marketing has convinced many consumers that the best way to feed their dogs is with dry kibble and processed food.. But here at Canine Country, we believe that this is doing more harm than good for your pet.
Here is why we believe our BARF recipes are the best option for the long-term health of your dog.
Similar to some human foods, the more you cook something, the more it removes most natural, beneficial nutrients and enzymes that add to your pet’s overall health. However, unlike us, pets cannot create their own good gut enzymes, so they need to rely on us to provide them with them.
When food (like kibble or cooked meats) is brought to a specific temperature, these beneficial enzymes and nutrients are destroyed, meaning your pet loses all the benefits they need for a healthy digestive tract. Without these enzymes, your pet’s organs need to work twice as hard to break down the nutrients in the food they eat.
Most dry kibble brands go through extensive baking and drying processes, so when you are feeding your pet kibble, you’re really just feeding them food that will fill them but not provide the optimal nutrients to help support healthy organ function.
Our dogs love us unconditionally and trust us with whatever food we put in front of them. Even kibble smells good to our pets, so they happily eat it. While some dry kibble brands use natural preservatives made from Vitamin C or E, some may use synthetic products, which can spell bad news long term for your pet and may factor into certain skin irritations or allergies. Some toxic preservatives have even been known to cause problems in the liver, blood and have certain cancer-causing compounds.
Not all products are created equal. Choosing to feed your loved one healthy, whole foods as nature intended provides your dog with the best diet and the best chance of living a long, healthy life. Choose Canine Country and see the difference for yourself.
