FAQ
-
Why should I feed my dog raw food?
Feeding your dog a raw diet mimics what they would naturally eat in the wild, providing them with fresh, unprocessed ingredients that are rich in essential nutrients. This type of diet supports their overall health, including better digestion, increased energy, and improved immune function.
-
What ingredients are in INY'S DOG FOOD?
INY'S DOG FOOD contains a carefully balanced blend of fresh meats, organs, and bones, complemented by small amounts of fruits, vegetables, oats, and olive oil. Our recipes include a variety of proteins such as chicken, beef, pork, turkey, lamb, and fish, ensuring a well-rounded and nutritious diet for your dog.
-
Do I need to refrigerate the food?
Yes! Since our product is made fresh without any preservatives, it is essential to treat it like real food, because that's exactly what it is. Store it in the freezer and only defrost the portion you intend to use.
-
Is it necessary to cook the food?
No! INY'S DOG FOOD is specifically designed for your dog to eat raw, just as they would in the wild. Cooking the food would destroy many of the natural nutrients that make the raw diet so beneficial.
-
Should I consult my veterinarian before using INY'S DOG FOOD?
Yes! We highly recommend consulting your veterinarian before transitioning to a raw diet. While opinions may vary, many veterinarians now recognize that a natural raw diet can provide significantly more protein and essential nutrients, contributing to the overall health of your furry friend.
Transitioning from a Dry Diet (Kibble) to the B.A.R.F. Diet
-
What is the B.A.R.F. diet?
The B.A.R.F. (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) diet is a raw feeding approach designed to replicate the natural diet of carnivorous animals, closely resembling what dogs would consume in the wild. This diet consists of raw meats, organs, bones, and a small amount of fruits, vegetables, and other natural ingredients.
If your pet is accustomed to eating ultra-processed foods like kibble, we at INY'S DOG FOOD recommend transitioning in one of the following ways:
Methods for Transitioning to the B.A.R.F. Diet:
-
Rapid Change
This method involves an immediate switch to the B.A.R.F. diet. It is ideal for young, healthy dogs without a history of gastrointestinal issues or those who haven't consumed large amounts of ultra-processed foods.
-
Transition Diet
This approach involves a gradual change, allowing your dog’s body to slowly adjust to the new diet while detoxifying from ultra-processed foods. If your dog is accustomed to kibble, they may initially reject raw food, which is normal. In such cases, fasting for 12 hours before introducing the new diet can help accelerate the detoxification process. However, this method is not suitable for puppies, elderly, or sick dogs, as they may be more sensitive and could experience vomiting or stomach discomfort from prolonged fasting.
-
Gradual Combined Change
If your pet struggles with a sudden transition, a gradual combined approach might be best. This method involves slowly decreasing the amount of kibble while increasing the proportion of natural food. It's important to avoid mixing kibble and raw food in the same meal, as they have different digestion times and processes. Start with a ratio of 90% kibble to 10% natural food, and gradually shift the balance over time, ensuring a 9-12 hour gap between the two types of meals.
