🍲 Benefits of a Cooked Food Diet for Dogs

1. Improved Digestibility

• Cooking breaks down some of the tougher components in food, making it easier for dogs to digest and absorb nutrients.

2. Better Control Over Ingredients

• You can avoid fillers, preservatives, by-products, and allergens found in many commercial diets.

• Ideal for dogs with food sensitivities, allergies, or medical conditions requiring special diets.

3. Lower Risk of Bacterial Contamination

• Compared to raw diets, cooking food kills harmful pathogens like Salmonella and E. coli.

4. Improved Palatability

• Most dogs love the taste of freshly cooked meals, which can help with picky eaters or dogs with poor appetite.

5. Balanced Nutrition (When Done Right)

• When guided by a vet or pet nutritionist, cooked meals can be tailored to your dog’s exact age, breed, weight, and health needs.
