1. What is fresh dog food?

Fresh dog food is made from whole, natural ingredients like real meats and vegetables, often resembling home-cooked meals. Unlike traditional kibble, which typically contains about 10% moisture, fresh dog foods have a natural moisture content of about 75%, similar to healthy human food found in your refrigerator.

​

2. What are the benefits of feeding my dog fresh food?

Feeding your dog fresh food can offer numerous benefits, including:​

  • Improved Digestibility: Fresh dog food is more highly digestible compared to dry kibble and other more processed diets.

  • Enhanced Skin and Coat Health: Some fresh dog foods are high in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are known to reduce inflammation and promote hair growth. ​

4. Is fresh dog food safe?

Yes, fresh dog food is safe when prepared and handled correctly. At Fresh Bowl, we prioritize food safety through rigorous quality control measures, including sourcing ingredients from trusted suppliers, implementing strict sanitation protocols, and employing methods such as high-pressure processing (HPP) to reduce the risk of harmful bacteria while preserving the nutritional integrity of the ingredients. ​

 

5. How do I transition my dog to fresh food?

Transitioning your dog to fresh food should be done gradually over 7-10 days:​

  • Days 1-3: Mix 25% fresh food with 75% current food.​

  • Days 4-6: Mix 50% fresh food with 50% current food.​

  • Days 7-9: Mix 75% fresh food with 25% current food.​

Monitor your dog for any digestive changes and adjust the transition period if necessary.​
