Farm Food Fresh – complete fresh meat natural dog food
When Farm Food HE, pressed dog food was developed, regular ‘maintenance’ with fresh meat, based on ‘unwashed’ green tripe proved to be essential in maintaining healthy intestinal bacteria. Because fresh meat based on unwashed, green tripe is high in natural probiotics.
Dry food and other heated foods (canned food and steamed products that can be ‘stored outside the freezer’) are sterile. That is why dry food cannot provide the bacteria (the probiotics) needed to ensure healthy intestinal bacteria and to maintain them.
During production, all dry foods are heated to a certain extent (Farm Food HE to a mere 72-75 ºC), destroying the enzymes and bacteria in raw materials. Although not scientifically substantiated, our many years of experience have shown that a good build-up and maintenance of the intestinal flora requires some of the enzymes and bacteria that were lost.
Intestinal bacteria build-up is very important!
A healthy intestinal flora is one of the main pillars for the overall health of your dog. When the intestinal flora is out of balance or too poor, health problems are unavoidable. Skin, coat and digestion problems or allergies often originate from a disturbance of the intestinal flora.
That is why we have always advised our clients to include so-called ‘fresh meat days’ based on unwashed green tripe in their dog’s diet to supplement the dry food, because it contains natural probiotics. Moreover, we have always been quite vocal about the fact that a high-quality complete raw fresh meat product is a good and healthy way to feed your dog.
