The Power of Pressure: Why Raw Food Is Safer and Better Than Processed Food

At BARF World, we promote feeding dogs a nutritious raw food diet that is suitable for their biological needs, as nature intended. However, the need to maintain food safety without sacrificing the unique nutrients and enzymes that make raw feeding so successful is growing along with the popularity of raw feeding. High Pressure Processing (HPP) can help with that.

HPP: What Is It?

Without the use of heat or chemicals, High Pressure Processing (HPP) is a cold pasteurization technique that utilizes extremely high water pressure to eradicate dangerous bacteria like Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria. HPP doesn't denature proteins or damage vital enzymes, vitamins, and minerals like conventional cooking or pasteurization does. This implies that your dog is fed safe, uncooked food that still has the potent nutritional impact that nature intended.

Why BARF World Uses HPP

The health and safety of your dog is one of the top priorities at BARF World. For a number of important reasons, we employ HPP on our raw meat diets:

Reduction of Pathogens Without Heat

Conventional heat-based techniques eliminate harmful bacteria, but they also eliminate live enzymes, healthy nutrients, and the inherent flavor and texture of raw food. HPP eliminates the negative while preserving the positive.

Extended Storage Life without the Use of Artificial Preservatives

Without the use of artificial preservatives or chemical additions, HPP naturally prolongs shelf life, providing you and your pet with a safer product.

Aids in Digestion and Immune Function

Your dog's digestive tract may operate as nature intended when they eat raw, enzyme-rich food. These vital enzymes are maintained by HPP, which promotes improved nutrition absorption, immune system strength, and gastrointestinal health.

The Benefits of Raw (and HPP-Treated) Kibble Over Processed

The majority of commercial dog food is highly processed. High-heat extrusion, which removes natural nutrients and substitutes them with artificial vitamins, is commonly used to make kibble. This is how BARF World's raw diet treated with HPP compares:

BARF: An Improved Method of Feeding

You can get as near to nature as possible while maintaining current food safety by feeding your dog a raw, HPP-treated diet. The advantages of a natural diet and the safety of cutting-edge research are mutually beneficial.

Delivering wholesome, biologically appropriate meals that are packed with all the nutrients your dog needs to flourish, we take pride in our position as the Pioneer in raw pet nutrition and the first commercial raw diet in the US.
