benefits of fresh food

At dhee's, we're passionate about providing high-quality, fresh food options for both dogs and cats. Here are some reasons why fresh food might be the best choice for your furry companions.

superior nutrition

Crafted from whole, unprocessed ingredients, ensuring that your pets receive the essential nutrients they need for optimal health and vitality

improved digestion

Easier for pets to digest compared to highly processed kibble, potentially reducing digestive issues such as vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation

improved energy levels

With the right balance of nutrients from fresh, whole ingredients, our pet food provides sustained energy throughout the day.

better weight management

Our fresh pet food helps maintain healthy weight by providing portioned meals tailored to your pet's needs

healthier coat

Contains essential nutrients that promote a shiny, lustrous coat

reduced dental issues

Fresh food's natural texture and moisture helps promote dental health by reducing plaque buildup and tartar formation compared to dry, crunchy kibble

improved hydration

Fresh food's higher moisture content supports hydration, essential for overall health and optimal kidney and urinary tract function

improved stool quality

Pets fed a diet rich in fresh, whole foods  experience firmer, smaller stools with less odor, indicative of better digestion and nutrient absorption

reduced food allergies

Pets may develop allergies or sensitivities to certain ingredients commonly found in kibble, such as grains or artificial preservatives

fewer vet visits

Improved overall health and reduced risk of dietary-related issues leads to fewer vet visits and potentially saving you time and money on veterinary care

enhanced palatability

Retains the natural flavors and aromas of its ingredients, making it irresistible to even the pickiest eaters

long-term health benefits

Balanced diet from fresh ingredients contribute to a pet's long-term health and longevity, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases and age-related issues
