All dog food companies boast about having good-for-your-dog ingredients or they offer foods for certain types of dogs or breeds. However, what most companies don’t usually discuss is how their dry dog food is made. Dog parents see the finished kibble, but what happens to the ingredients as they are turned into kibble can have a major impact on how nutritious the food will be for your dog.
Every dry dog food formula is different, so each company has different steps they follow to create its own specific product. However, there are a few common processes that many dog food brands follow to create their kibble.
At Fresh is Best® we believe in the Prey Animal Concept for dogs, where they thrive on fresh meat, fat, minerals from bone, and plant-based fiber just as they would when hunting and foraging in the wild. Dogs don’t need processed, starchy fillers and preservatives that make regular dry dog food cheaper and last long periods in warehouses.
All our freeze-dried dog food recipes contain raw ingredients that are 100% natural, free from grains, white potato, peas, legumes, and tapioca flour or other starches. Each one is also made with fresh, whole fruits and veggies, never dried pomace, or powders, providing healthy, superior nutrition for your dog that meets or exceeds AAFCO standards.
Our dog foods are minimally processed, slowly freeze-dried in small batches, and packaged in high oxygen barrier bags, so you get the taste and nutrition as if you prepared it yourself. At Fresh Is Best®, we only use meats that are human-quality, humanely raised, and described as: USDA grass-fed, cage-free, crate-free, antibiotic-free, and wild-harvested because we care. Our dog food really is the best.
