Heart Health

Fresh4Dogs’ raw meals are made with high-quality muscle meats and vital organs, including hearts, which are naturally rich in taurine. Taurine is an essential amino acid critical for maintaining heart health in cats and dogs. Cats rely entirely on dietary sources of taurine, as their bodies cannot produce it naturally. Without taurine, cats are at risk for heart disease, vision loss, and even death.

While dogs can produce some taurine on their own, a diet with a consistent supply of taurine supports their heart health, particularly for larger breeds that may struggle with taurine production. Supplementing taurine in their diet can promote a strong heart and help guard against heart disease.

Dental Health

Tartar buildup on your dog’s teeth can lead to bad breath, painful dental issues, and costly vet visits. Fresh4Dogs raw meals are free from starchy carbs commonly found in commercial kibble, which contribute to tartar buildup. By feeding your dog a raw diet, you can help keep their teeth cleaner, their breath fresher, and their gums healthier.

Want to take your pet's dental care to the next level? Fresh4Dogs’ Freeze-Dried Turkey Necks or Freeze-Dried Duck Necks are a delicious way to naturally scrape tartar from your pet's teeth while promoting circulation and maintaining healthy, pink gums.

Joint Health

In the wild, a dog’s natural prey diet would include not just meat but all parts of the animal, including cartilage and connective tissues. Fresh4Dogs raw meals replicate this by incorporating nutrient-rich parts often overlooked in commercial pet foods, such as cartilaginous tissues. These are high in hydroxyproline, an amino acid that supports strong joints and connective tissue.

A raw diet rich in collagen and hydroxyproline is especially beneficial for older pets or those recovering from joint injuries like slipped hips. Additionally, this nutrient profile can help prevent arthritis and strengthen joints, keeping your pet active and happy for longer.

Overall Wellness

A raw, protein-rich diet from Fresh4Dogs offers a wide range of health benefits: it can alleviate allergies, maintain a healthy weight, stabilize blood glucose levels, and support a more vibrant, energetic life for your pet. Incorporating fresh, raw ingredients into your dog’s diet ensures they’re getting the nutrition they deserve to live their best life.
