We at BARF World think that dogs should be fed the way that nature intended. Air-dried dog food, which can appear to be a practical improvement over kibble, is one of the novel forms that more pet parents are considering these days...
Raw meat diets continue to give unparalleled nutrition and health support, even though air-dried meals can be more advantageous than highly processed ones. Let's examine the main differences.
A raw diet, such as BARF World's Biologically Appropriate Raw Food, consists of either frozen or fresh vegetables, meats, organs, and bones. Because it isn't overly processed, it still contains the natural vitamins, enzymes, and hydration that dogs require to thrive.
Giving your dog food that is as close to what their bodies are naturally made to consume as possible is the goal of raw feeding, which goes beyond simply providing nutrients.
In order to produce air-dried dog food shelf-stable, ingredients are gradually dehydrated. The majority of the natural moisture is still removed, and sensitive nutrients and enzymes may be diminished, even if this method is kinder than the high-heat heating employed for kibble. Despite their convenience, air-dried foods are still more processed than raw.
Maximum Retention of Nutrients
Heat-sensitive vitamins, amino acids, and enzymes are all preserved in raw meat. Dehydration frequently causes these delicate nutrients to deteriorate.
Water Consumption and Digestive Health
The high moisture content of raw food promotes kidney and urinary health by nature. However, because air-dried food is so dry, dogs must consume more water to make up for it.
Improved Absorption
Dogs get more nutrients from raw food since it is less processed. When feeding raw as opposed to processed foods, owners frequently observe smaller, less odorous stools.
Support for the Skin and Immune System
Raw diets' unmodified lipids and enzymes provide healthier skin and coats, lower inflammation, and a stronger immune system. After making the switch to raw, many owners report improvements in their digestion, allergy, and itching problems.
A More Natural Feeding Process
The diet that dogs' ancestors thrived on is replicated by raw food. Your dog will often find mealtimes more enjoyable because of the taste, texture, and freshness.
When Air-Dried Is Effective
Nevertheless, a dog's diet can include air-dried items. They are ideal for travel because they are portable and easy to store. Air-dried food could be a useful substitute for hectic pet owners who are unable to always handle freezer space or raw meal preparation. As a backup or topper, it can also be effective.
The secret is to choose wisely. Watch your dog's hydration, make sure the brand you purchase is comprehensive and balanced, and don't expect the same outcomes as a pure raw diet.
However, a freeze-dried raw meat diet from BARF World can ease this concern and offer the best of both worlds. More freezer space, complete and balanced formulas, travel-friendly, and a long shelf life.
Our goal at BARF World is to give your dog the best opportunity for a long, healthy, and active life by offering safe, balanced, and physiologically appropriate raw meals. Raw feeding produces outcomes that speak for themselves—healthier coats, better digestion, greater immunity, and more energy. Although air-drying could be more practical or seem convenient or less expensive, the investment in your pet’s health with a raw food diet is unmatched when it comes to the health and longevity of our beloved animals.
We have made feeding raw meat diets even more convenient and shelf-stable with our array of available proteins in Freeze-Dried BARF Diets. Our raw meat diets are the same as our popular frozen meals with the added convenience of an 18-month shelf life.
Nothing can truly replace raw in the end. Although convenience has its place, raw meat is still the best option for a dog's diet when it comes to health.
