Why Fresh Food Matters
A Better Bowl Starts with Real Ingredients
We believe wellness starts in the bowl. When you add real, whole foods to your dog’s bowl, amazing things can happen—things like improved digestion, shinier coats, more energy, and long-term wellness.
One study even found that dogs fed fresh, home-prepared foods showed significant improvements in overall health — especially in older dogs and those with chronic conditions.
Nutrient Packed
Because whole foods are not heavily processed, they keep more of their natural goodness—vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and healthy fats. That means better digestion today, and long-term support for things like heart health, lean muscle, and even brain function.
Unlike kibble, which is cooked at high heat (and loses a lot along the way), fresh food holds onto its natural nutrition. Plus, with more moisture and a whole-food structure, it’s easier to digest, supports hydration, and helps your pup absorb more of those tail-wagging benefits.
Curious about the science? Check out this article from The Science Dog that explores how human-grade diets outperform traditional dog food in digestibility and nutrient absorption.
Strong Gut, Healthy Pup
Approximately 70-80% of your pup’s immune system is in their gut! The gut is home to a complex community of bacteria and other microorganisms called the microbiome. A healthy, balanced gut microbiome is vital for proper immune function, as it helps to train immune cells and regulate the immune response.
A recent study suggests that whole, minimally processed foods can give your dog’s immune system a boost (read the study here).
Researchers found that pups eating fresh, whole-food diets showed:
- Lower signs of inflammation – a calmer, more balanced immune response
- Better immune cell activity – helping the body stay ready to fight when needed
- More natural protection – nutrients from real food supporting long-term wellness.
Feeding fresh food doesn’t just fill the bowl—it may help your pup feel better from the inside out.
