Can Just Food For Dogs be Used as a Topper?
Yes – you can use JustFoodForDogs as a topper to your pup’s regular diet. Many pet parents choose to feed a topper meal plan for their dogs for various reasons. A Meal topper of Just Food For Dogs in rotation may be a great option for a picky dog, or a senior dog who needs to gain weight. Or supplementing JustFoodForDogs on top of a pup’s regular kibbled diet may help increase digestibility or support the microbiome without breaking a dog owner’s budget.
Just Food For Dogs vs. Kibble – how does it compare?
The main difference between a kibbled diet and a fresh food diet like JustFoodForDogs comes down to processing method and preservation. Just Food For Dogs uses a combination of human-grade whole foods ingredients and supplements to create a healthy meal for dogs by lightly cooking the ingredients (similar to how you cook for yourself at home).
Kibbled diets may or may not use the same quality of ingredients, and will need to either cook at high heat quickly to dehydrate, or will need to cook at a low heat over long periods of time to dehydrate – this removes moisture from the kibble, and cooks them to remove pathogens – keeping the kibble shelf-stable. This cooking method is usually considered to be ultra-processed because many ingredients may be cooked several times (like meat meals).
Preservation methods between Just Food For Dogs and a kibbled diet is also very different. Kibbled diets need to use additional preservatives such as Mixed Tocopherols, Rosemary Extract or BHA/BHT to make them shelf-stable. Lightly cooked diets like JustFoodForDogs use no preservatives and instead rely on the freezer to keep their foods fresh.
How-To Cook JustFoodForDogs Beef & Russet Potato
JustFoodForDogs was first founded in 2010 after the founder saw a need in the pet food industry for better regulation and transparency within the industry. After over a decade within the pet food space, JustFoodForDogs has accomplished many “firsts” for the fresh pet food space – doing the first AAFCO feeding trials on a gently cooked diet. They have also funded and participated in several research studies to prove the benefits of fresh foods for dogs. This research-first approach has set them apart in the fresh pet food space.
JustFoodForDogs offers a variety of freshly cooked dog food recipes – they have six single-protein diets available for healthy dogs (chicken, beef, turkey, lamb, venison, fish), two of which (chicken & fish) are complete and balanced for puppies. Half of the recipes are grain-free, and the other half are grain-inclusive. Diets range in their dietary composition – with moderate to high protein, lower to high fat, and low to high carbohydrate options (26-43% protein, 25-53% fat, and 20-43% carbohydrates on a caloric basis). This range of different diets allows for pet parents to find suitable diets for a variety of health needs – such as allergies, fat sensitivity, or even IBD.
JustFoodForDogs also offers a prescription diet line for conditions like kidney disease, pancreatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease, high fiber, and cancer support.
