What is fresh dog food?

Fresh dog food is food that’s cooked, but made with few or no preservatives, so it’s usually sold refrigerated or frozen. Many fresh dog food brands use minimal processing and wholesome—or even human-grade —ingredients, but brands vary widely in content, preparation, and nutrition.

Can you use fresh dog food as food toppers?

You can use fresh dog food as food toppers. Many pet parents like to feed fresh as an adjunct to their dog’s regular dry diet. You can use a fresh food topper or a complete and balanced fresh food for this purpose. Be sure you know which kind you’re feeding to ensure a balanced diet. You don’t want to feed your dog more than 10% of his calories as toppers, but you can feed as much of a complete and balanced fresh food as you like.

Do vets recommend fresh dog food?

Some vets recommend fresh dog foods because they have fewer preservatives, and many are made with high-quality, easily digestible ingredients. These types of fresh foods may be better for pups with sensitivities or digestive difficulties. Fresh dog foods also have more water than dry food, so they may be helpful for dogs with urinary issues. However, there is not enough evidence to suggest that fresh dog food is necessarily superior to a quality dry or wet dog food. Ask your vet for the best guidance on what to feed your furry friend.

How long does fresh dog food last?

Fresh dog food lasts until the expiration date on the package. Frozen fresh dog food can last for up to 6 months in the fridge, but once thawed, it should be used within 7 days of opening. Check the package directions for advice on proper storage, best-by dates, serving suggestions, and more.

Does fresh dog food need to be refrigerated?

Fresh dog food usually does need to be refrigerated or frozen, although there are some shelf-stable fresh dog foods available that do not. Check the package instructions for guidance on proper storage.
