Why fresh food requires larger portions sizes

Updated over 9 months ago

Its normal to feed higher amounts of wet food than dry food as fresh food is 3 - 4x less caloric than dry food.

The difference is attributed to a higher moisture content in fresh food, and lower carbohydrates.

While this means larger servings are needed to meet calorie requirements, fresh food provides some key benefits :

  1. Essential hydration: Fresh food has a high moisture content, which is particularly beneficial to help maintain healthy kidney function and prevent urinary tract issues.

  2. Palatability: Many pets find fresh food more appealing and easier to eat than dry kibble. This can be especially important for picky eaters or older pets with dental issues.

  3. Lower Carbohydrates: Fresh food contains fewer carbohydrates than dry food. This can be beneficial for preventing diabetes or for pets needing a low-carb diet.

  4. Variety and Taste: Our fresh food comes in a variety of flavors and textures, which can help stimulate your pet’s appetite and make mealtimes more enjoyable. This can be particularly advantageous for pets with decreased appetite.

These benefits highlight why incorporating fresh food into your pet's diet can be a great choice for their health and happiness.
