You Shouldn't Be The Only One Eating Healthy

Welcome to K9 Kuisine, where we believe in nourishing dogs with quality ingredients that nature has to offer. If you're ready as a dog owner to discover the transformative benefits of raw dog food, you've come to the right place! In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the wonders of raw nutrition, why it's the best choice for your furry friend, and how K9 Kuisine can be your go-to source for premium raw dog food.

Raw Dog Food

Why Raw Dog Food?

Embracing Nature's Bounty

Raw dog food isn't just a trend – it's a return to our dogs' ancestral roots, where they thrived on a diet rich in raw meat, bones, and organs. Unlike processed kibble, raw food is free from artificial additives, fillers, and preservatives, making it the healthiest and most natural choice for your canine companion.

A Dog's Unique Digestive System

Navigating the Canine Gut Microbiome

Dogs possess a digestive system finely tuned for their carnivorous nature. Unlike humans, who have evolved to consume a varied diet including grains and plants, dogs are anatomically designed to thrive on a diet primarily composed of animal protein. At the heart of their digestive prowess lies their gut microbiome – a complex ecosystem of bacteria, enzymes, and other microorganisms that play a vital role in digestion and nutrient absorption.

The canine digestive tract is relatively short compared to that of humans, allowing for rapid processing of raw meat. Additionally, dogs have highly acidic stomachs, which serve as a natural defense mechanism against harmful bacteria present in raw meat. This acidic environment not only aids in breaking down protein but also helps to kill off pathogens, making raw food consumption safer for dogs than it would be for humans.

Furthermore, dogs have a robust enzymatic system specifically geared towards metabolizing raw meat and bone. Enzymes such as amylase, lipase, and protease work in harmony to break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, ensuring optimal nutrient absorption. This efficient digestive process allows dogs to extract maximum nutrition from raw food, resulting in improved overall health and vitality.

In contrast to humans, who may experience digestive discomfort or nutritional deficiencies when consuming raw meat, dogs possess an innate ability to handle raw food with ease. Their evolutionary adaptation to a carnivorous diet makes them uniquely suited to thrive on raw meat, bones, and organs, providing them with the essential nutrients they need to thrive.

By embracing the natural diet of our canine companions and feeding them a balanced raw diet, we can tap into their innate digestive capabilities and unlock a wealth of health benefits. From improved digestion and nutrient absorption to enhanced energy levels and a shiny coat, raw food nourishes dogs from the inside out, allowing them to live their best lives alongside their devoted human companions.

Nourishing Meals Tailored to Perfection

Crafting a balanced raw diet for your dog is easier than you might think.

Transitioning your dog to a raw diet is a gradual process that requires patience and persistence. Start by introducing small amounts of raw food alongside their regular diet, gradually increasing the portion of raw food over time. Our team at K9 Kuisine is here to support you every step of the way, providing guidance and advice to ensure a smooth transition for your furry friend.

Special Considerations: Senior Dogs

Supporting Health Through Every Life Stage

Senior dogs have unique dietary requirements that can be met through a carefully crafted raw diet. Our senior-friendly recipes are formulated to support joint health, digestion, and overall well-being, ensuring your furry friend enjoys their golden years to the fullest.

Special Considerations: Allergies

Nurturing Health Through Tailored Nutrition

For dogs with allergies, our hypoallergenic raw food options provide relief from common allergens, allowing them to thrive without discomfort. Our carefully selected ingredients are free from potential triggers, giving you peace of mind knowing your dog is receiving the best nutrition possible. We have found in some cases from pet owners that the dogs that were checked at the local veterinary office for allergies were not allergic to the protein, but the fillers and non labeled ingredients from the commercial kibble.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why feed raw?

Feeding raw is the fastest growing sector of the pet food market. If you were to feed a raw diet to your pet, the first change observed would be improved stools. This is due to its superior digestibility. Another delightful part of feeding raw is pets like it, palatability is great.

The vast majority of pet food is cooked, with extrusion the predominate method. This extrusion produces a kibble and depends on a food containing 25 to 45 percent starch, which upon heating in the presence of water undergoes dextrinization. 

Although it can be eaten, starch is not a positive nutrient for canines. Dogs that have a lot of starch in their diets undergo endocrine abuse and disrupts the digestive system. 

One sign of this: often a persistent or barely managed dermatitis is cured simply by switching to a raw diet. A raw diet promotes a healthier gut more aligned with your pet’s metabolism.

A dry pet food low in starch is possible but there is no way to have kibble without starch, and grains provide starch for kibble formation. But the term grain-free is an advertising gimmick. The problem in any kibble is starch and call it grain-free or not, the problem of starch is still there. What your pet really needs is not grain-free but low in starch. 

Cooking dog food alters nutrients and not necessarily for the better.

Admittedly, extreme heat destroyed harmful bacteria, which was a win way back in time before refrigeration but today it is possible to assemble ingredients with a very low risk of unhealthy bacteria growth. 

Heat addition of any kind (boiling, frying, roasting, baking) initiates a process referred to as protein denaturation. Please check out website for further information including a chart showing vitamin loss due to other methods aside from a raw diet.
