We check protein and ingredients, but what if your pet’s food has hidden sugars? Even when sugar isn’t listed, certain carbs in kibble break down into glucose, impacting your dog’s health in ways you might not expect. Here’s why this happens—and how a fresh, raw diet is a healthier option.
The Sneaky Sugar in Kibble
Many kibbles contain carbohydrate-rich fillers such as corn, wheat, and potatoes, which break down into glucose. This hidden sugar provides a quick burst of energy but can lead to:
- Weight gain: Excess glucose is stored as fat.
- Dental issues: Sugars contribute to plaque buildup, raising the risk of gum disease.
- Inflammation: High sugar levels can trigger inflammation, affecting joints and other areas.
Even “grain-free” kibble can contain hidden sugars, especially with ingredients like lentils and sweet potatoes.
Why Raw Food is the Healthier Option for Your Pet
Unlike kibble, which often contains fillers, raw food is made with whole, natural ingredients that your pet was biologically built to digest. At Raw Pet Food Ontario, we ensure our meals are free from hidden sugars and fillers, using only the best meats, organs, bones, and vegetables.
Here’s why raw food makes a real difference:
- Improved weight management: No unnecessary carbs for better weight control.
- Healthier teeth and breath: Raw bones keep teeth clean and breath fresh.
- Steady energy: Raw food provides energy without the sugar crashes.
- Reduced inflammation: A high-protein, low-carb diet helps reduce joint issues and chronic conditions.
Switching to Fresh Food Made Easy
Transitioning your dog to a raw food diet doesn’t have to be difficult. You can take two approaches:
I. Gradual
Start by adding small amounts of raw food to your pet’s current meals. Over the course of 7-10 days, gradually increase the raw food while reducing their old food. This method allows their digestive system to adjust without upsetting their stomach.
II. Rapid
For some pet’s, a quick switch works best. Simply replace their current food with raw food right away. Keep an eye on your dog during the first few days to ensure they’re adjusting well.
With Raw Pet Food Ontario, you can feel confident knowing your pet will thrive on our wholesome, nutrient-packed meals. No hidden sugars, just balanced nutrition. Your pet deserves the best.
