THE TRUTH ABOUT GRAIN FREE DOG FOOD
THE TRUTH ABOUT GRAIN FREE DOG FOOD
If dogs are biologically built for a meat-based diet, why are so many products packed with veggies and grains? They tell you veggies are nutritious and the carbs and fiber help with energy and digestion. But what aren't they telling you??

What Aren't They Telling You About
Grain Free Dog Food?
Just like their ancestor, the wolf, our dogs are carnivores. They are biologically designed to eat a meat-based diet. But because meat is much more costly than grains and fillers, most pet parents opt for the more affordable option...kibble.
Many health conscious pet parents have chosen to feed their fur babies a grain-free diet, as the high carbohydrate content of most kibbles is anything but healthy for dogs. But what most people fail to realize is that the term "grain free" is simply a marketing ploy used by the pet food industry.
While these foods may technically be grain free, those grains have been replaced with other starches like lentils and potatoes, but most rely on peas...starches that dogs can't digest effectively.
Peas do have some vitamins and minerals that are nutritious, but they also contain phytates and lectins. These are substances that carnivores can't break down and are known to contribute to digestive issues and leaky gut.
Some might ask, "Aren't dogs omnivores? Dogs can eat fruits and veggies, right? Although dogs can eat certain fruits and veggies and enjoy their health benefits, dogs are not omnivores. They are what we call "opportunistic carnivores". If a dog in the wild can't find live prey, they will eat what they can find including berries, vegetables, herbs and even grass. But they do this solely to survive and to stave off hunger. It's not the meat-based diet they will thrive on.

"I was searching for a dog food that my Collie would actually get excited about eating again. He's 12 and has started to slow down and indifference to meals was causing me alarm. I discovered that the previous boutique dog food I had been feeding him had actually been depriving him of essential nutrients and his coat and muscle weakness was the result of the wrong diet.
I switched to TruDog and he LOVES eating again, his coat is shiny, his energy level is almost back to normal . . .I am so happy I found TruDog. They deliver quickly, are affordable, have a wide variety of food options and are easy to prepare. I wholeheartedly recommend TruDog foods and just wish I had found you sooner! My Collie does, too!"

"My dog will not eat any kind of dog food. He is very picky...but he will eat dog poop. Since introducing him to the Feed Me raw food, he loves it and isn't interested in eating dog poop any more! My dog will be 2 years old in June. He is a pure breed Shih Tzu. I have tried MANY kinds of food since he was a puppy. I am so glad that I decided to try this food."

"My vet put my new pup on the best "prescription food". He explained how this food was better than the normal stuff you buy in the pet store. She really doesn't like it though. So I gave her TruDog treats and she loves them. She loves the chews. She loves the Boost Me. I finally broke down and got her the Feed Me. I mixed in with her regular food and she picks out all of the Feed Me. She gobbles it up. She has a LOT of energy and looks great! My little Malshi is spectacular. Thank you TruDog!"

My 1.5 yr old dog had skin issues and we had put her through so much to help her. From the high end foods to meds and nothing worked. I saw an add for TruDog and fig why not. Within less then a 2 days her skin was a million times better!
Fast forward now 2 months we now have a second pup who is 17 weeks. I of course started him right on with this food and he loved it. My vet told me I should only feed him puppy food and that he could be not getting enough from this food. Ah! New mommy worries set in. So of course I ran out did my homework and tried to get a bag of the best “puppy” food I could. Huge name brand blah blah... he hated it! Not only did he hate it he got sick from it.
This grain free well known food had him vomiting, dry heaving, and very loose poops. I gave him 2 weeks on the food to adjust and it got a bit better but never great. He now won’t even touch the food and is far too thin. So I put him back onto TruDog, he has been happy, putting healthy weight on, and his poop is solid! No more sick baby in my home.
My point is vets aren’t trained for raw food diets. If you have concerns talk to a nutritional expert for animals on it not your vet! Never going back to kibble for my babies again!"
