Kibble vs. Raw: The Healthier Choice for Your Dog
Share
When it comes to feeding our furry friends, pet parents want nothing but the best. But with so many options out there, the question arises: is kibble the right choice, or should you consider a raw diet? At Joey’s Raw, we believe in giving dogs the nutrition they deserve—and raw feeding is a healthier, more natural option. Let’s break it down.
Why Kibble Falls Short
Kibble may be convenient, but it’s far from perfect. Traditional kibble is highly processed, often cooked at high temperatures that strip away vital nutrients. To make up for this, artificial vitamins and preservatives are added—making it less than ideal for your dog’s health.
Another concern? Hydration. Dogs who eat kibble often don’t get enough moisture in their diet, which can lead to dehydration over time. Additionally, kibble’s uniform flavor and dry texture don’t encourage dogs to eat properly, meaning they may consume less than they need, potentially leading to nutritional deficiencies.
The Benefits of a Raw Diet
Switching to raw feeding mirrors what dogs would eat in the wild—fresh, nutrient-rich, and unprocessed meals. A raw diet offers numerous benefits, including:- Improved Digestion: Raw food is easier for dogs to digest, reducing bloating, gas, and upset stomachs.
- Healthier Coat and Skin: Essential fats in raw food promote shinier coats and itch-free skin.
- More Energy: With natural nutrients intact, your pup will feel more energized and playful.
- Dental Health: Chewing on raw meat and bones can help reduce plaque and tartar buildup.
- Hydration: Raw meals naturally contain moisture, supporting your dog’s overall hydration.
