Why Adding a Little Crunch to Your Dog’s Fresh Food Is a Game-Changer

When it comes to feeding your dog, variety isn't just the spice of life—it's the secret to better nutrition, dental health, and overall happiness. While our fresh food provides an unbeatable foundation for your dog’s health through human-grade ingredients, antibiotic-free protein, pre- and post-biotics, and no added hormones, adding a touch of crunch to their meals can elevate the experience for both you and your furry friend.

Here’s why adding a little crunch can make a big difference—and how to do it right.

Benefits of Adding Crunch to Your Dog’s Fresh Food

1. Promotes Better Dental Health

Crunchy additions like dry food or freeze-dried treats can help reduce plaque and tartar buildup on your dog’s teeth.

When dogs chew on crunchy textures, it creates a natural scraping action that contributes to healthier gums and fresher breath. Regularly incorporating crunchy elements into meals supports oral hygiene, reducing the risk of gum disease and other dental problems.

2. Boosts Protein and Nutritional Variety

By mixing in options like Premium Nutrition dry dog food or single-ingredient freeze-dried Beef Liver Bites, you’re giving your dog an extra dose of high-quality protein.

Our freeze-dried Beef Liver Bites, for example, are packed with essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, while our dry food offers a balanced blend of premium ingredients to complement the slow-cooked wet food.

3. Enhances Meal Texture and Excitement

Imagine eating the same meal every day—it could get boring! Dogs thrive on mealtime variety, and adding a bit of crunch keeps things interesting.

The combination of tender, sous vide-style wet food with a crispy topping creates a delightful texture contrast that satisfies even the pickiest eaters. A more enjoyable meal can also lead to better eating habits and fewer food refusals.

4. Improves Satiety and Satisfaction

Crunchy elements encourage slower eating, helping dogs feel fuller and more satisfied.

This is especially beneficial for dogs that eat too quickly or seem constantly hungry after meals. By slowing them down, you reduce the risk of overeating or digestive issues like bloating.

5. Stimulates Mental Engagement

Chewing is a natural, instinctive behavior for dogs. Adding a crunchy element to their meal not only satisfies this need but also provides mental stimulation, especially for energetic or working breeds.

The act of chewing can reduce stress and anxiety while keeping your dog entertained.
