Why Fresh Food?

Why should I feed fresh?

While most existing pet food options contain the right balance of vitamins and nutrients, many commercial pet food manufacturers add unnecessarily chemical products and unhealthy additives flavourings to the food.These unnatural products should not be appearing in the food that our pets consume daily.

 

At Pawlistic Kitchen, we care about pets’ health and safety, and so our recipes are designed based on food therapy principles aimed to promote wellness and health of your furkid, ensuring they lead a happy and healthy lives with their owners. To produce the best quality feed for our clients’ furkids, we are particular on all details of the food preparation, from ingredients sourcing, packaging, delivering, palatability to food safety.

How should I make the switch to Pawlistic Kitchen?

As you join the Pawlistic Kitchen community, we are happy to walk you through the transition period. We recommend gradually transitioning your pet to our new food so that your pets will not get a stomach upset. Serve 25% of the whole portion size of the new food mixed with 75% old food to kickstart the introduction of Pawlistic Kitchen’s food and slowly increase the portion to help your pets make the switch. It should take around 10 days to complete the entire meal transition.

How do you determine my dogʼs portions?

Each Pawlistic Kitchen meal is prepared based on the energy and nutrition your pets need based of their breed, age, activity level, ideal weight, and sensitivities. Therefore, we would need to ask you the right questions to create a plan that’s truly customized to your dogs’ characteristics and needs. Start this process by filling out your pet’s profile now.

What if my pets doesn’t like the food?

Due to long-term consumption of dry pelleted food, some pets especially cats may have phobia to new foods as they are not used to the taste and flavours of fresh foods. In the early transition stage to fresh food, your pet may prefer their original commercial dry or canned food. We recommend to mix the fresh food with the original food to help your pet to get used to the taste of fresh food through the transition period.

Does fresh food create more dental issue?

Contrary to popular belief, dry food does not assist in cleaning teeth (some may argue the prescription food for cleaning teeth may help). The dental health status of the animal will depend on the dental (teeth) conformation of the animal, chewing habits and eating habits, etc. Some animals are prone to periodontal disease while others are not. It is therefore paramount to have regular oral care. We recommend brushing your pet’s teeth daily or as frequent as possible. Dental diseases may cause serious illness like bacterial infection in heart when bacteria in the oral cavity translocate to the heart via the blood stream.
