We understand everyone is unique, but it is more than common that furry babies may be picky eaters or may simply wolf down. In order to ensure all healthy ingredients go into their bellies and to avoid ingestion due to lack of enough chewing, we chop fruits and vegetables into small pieces and mix them with ground meat into patties. As mincing some fruits and vegetables may cause loss of nutrients and fibers that are important in dogs’ wholesome diet, PPB team would rather spend more time to process each ingredient separately and differently instead of mashing everything all at once. Furthermore, while tooth brushing is always important regardless what type of food is fed, we would still like to make sure that all furry babies are given the chance to maintain or develop a good chewing habit.
Grains are one the most common ingredients that dogs are allergic to. Especially for dogs over 5 years old, it becomes harder to digest some of the carbohydrate-rich food, and the chances to be allergic to grains also increase. Therefore, although there are many great dietary values in grains, we would like to stick to our belief of hypoallergic diet, which is an essential part of the lifestyle to prevent chronic inflammation. In order to have a wholesome mix of each formula, we replace grains with seeds, root vegetables and/or beans that also offer outstanding nutritional benefits.
Considering some dogs are allergic to certain ingredients, we purposely isolate each animal protein source so that you may always find patties that are suitable for your babies, and at the same time, patties may be digested more easily. Since each formula contains ingredients with different nutrients and health benefits, we suggest that pawrents alternate various formulas from time to time.
Most ingredients in their raw form are approximately 70% made of water, which may carry some nutrients out during the cooking process. For that reason, we insist to cook each meal separately and keep all nutrients in both solid and liquid forms while we pack. Besides all the health benefits mentioned, our fresh meal patties also help decrease the chances of having diseases that are associated dehydration.
