Why Should You Feed Your Puppy Fresh Dog Food?

Healthy and Balanced Diet 

One way you can ensure that your puppy is getting a healthy, balanced diet is by feeding them fresh dog food.

Freshly cooked food is designed to meet the specific requirements of puppies and supports their high energy needs whilst balancing the right proportions of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, fibre and essential nutrients that your puppy needs to grow and develop.

A diet that is balanced and packed full with nutrients supports your puppy’s cognitive development, bone and muscle growth, and promotes a shiny coat and healthy skin. 

In many commercial dry foods, the largest percentage of constituents are often fillers like wheat, corn, and soy and only contain animal and meat derivatives, offering a lower nutritional value than fresh dog food. 

The raw dog food diet can pose its own health risks such as possible choking, intestinal blockage or chipped teeth. Moreover, some commercial raw dog food products have an increased risk of exposing your dog to antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. 

By formulating your own raw food diet, your puppy may also not be getting the nutrition it needs.

That’s why at Different Dog, all of our recipes are approved by our very own canine nutritionist who carefully researches, trials and selects every ingredient to make sure that they meet the highest nutrition standards.

Longer Life Span

We all want to spend as much time as we can with our beloved companions, so one of the most compelling reasons to feed your puppy fresh dog food is the potential for a healthier, longer life. 

Good nutrition is a key factor in determining a pet's longevity, and fresh food offers an unrivalled level of nutrition.

By getting your pup started on a diet packed with high-quality, fresh ingredients early, you are supporting their overall health and wellbeing whilst helping to prevent the onset of various diseases. 

Conditions like obesity, diabetes, heart disease and some types of cancers are less common in dogs that consume a fresh, balanced diet. 

The natural sources of antioxidants and essential fatty acids in fresh food can also boost your puppy's immune system and slow down the ageing process. 

Take Bobi, who holds the Guinness World Record for being the world’s oldest dog at 30 years of age, as a prime example. 

Whilst there are a few variables that have contributed to such a long life, his owner attributes his diet of unseasoned human food as one.

It’s no wonder that a diet of high-quality ingredients that are fit for human consumption can give your pup a longer life than the animal byproducts in commercial kibble.
