There is nothing more fundamental to the health of our small animals than good nutrition. The secret to good nutrition for most dogs and cats is to recognize that they are carnivores and thrive when they eat unprocessed, meat-based diets. Unprocessed food will spoil if not refrigerated or frozen. It is the form of food that is the most beneficial for the body to consume because it most fully potentiates the body to maintain health and well-being. Processed foods, on the other hand, are the dry/kibbled foods that never spoil. Canned foods are less processed than dry food but are still too processed for most animals because the heating of the food to preserve it denatures the nutrients rendering the food less vital for health.
