🎙️ What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

The Benefits of Kibble

• Balanced Nutrition & Convenience: Kibble is formulated to provide complete nutrition, making it a convenient option for busy pet parents. It’s shelf-stable, easy to store, and available in a variety of formulas tailored to specific health needs like weight management or joint health.
• Safety and Portion Control: Kibble offers consistent portion control and is less likely to harbor harmful bacteria compared to raw food.

The Advantages of Raw Food

• Unprocessed & Nutrient-Dense: Raw food offers a more natural, nutrient-rich option that closely mimics what dogs and cats would eat in the wild. Many raw diets can be tailored to meet your pet’s specific dietary needs, promoting healthier coats, digestion, and increased energy.
• Improved Digestion: Raw diets are often easier for some pets to digest, with many pet parents reporting fewer allergies, shinier coats, and healthier teeth.

Safety and Health Concerns

• Raw Food Risks: Handling and storing raw food safely is crucial due to potential bacteria like salmonella. We’ll also explore how to mitigate risks and ensure your pet stays healthy on a raw diet.
• Kibble Concerns: On the flip side, Dr. Kate discusses how some commercial kibbles may contain fillers or preservatives that could affect long-term health.

Cost and Convenience

• Balancing Practicality & Nutrition: Learn how to weigh the practical aspects of each diet—such as time, cost, and storage—against the health benefits for your pet. Raw diets may require more prep, but the potential benefits might outweigh the added effort for some pet parents.
