All dehydration of meats are done by Smack Pet Food's newly designed facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Since there is no out-sourcing of meat dehydration, we can keep a close eye on the quality of our product and ensure its nutritional integrity. In-house dehydration also means a more affordable product to our customers.
Whole protein sources: Our protein sources are always raw dehydrated meat (bone-in for our chicken recipe) and never by-products. Every recipe we make contains at least 50% chicken when reconstituted.
The chicken we use is free-range and hormone-free.
Whole fruits & veggies: We use a wide spectrum of colourful, fresh, raw, dehydrated fruits and vegetables which are rich in numerous phytochemicals, vitamins and minerals.
Gluten-free grain: We use gently cooked, gluten-free, GMO-free grain (GMO: Genetically Modified Organism). Gluten is one of the most prevalent food allergens for dogs.
Alfalfa Leaf: One of the very best foods this Earth has produced, Arabs have fed their horses alfalfa leaves for
many years - supposedly the very secret to their swift and strong horses.
Alfalfa is rich in roughly 300 nutrients and phytonutrients, minerals, and chlorophyll, contains 8 amino acids and all known vitamins. It’s reported to have use in treatment of intestinal ulcers, kidney, bladder, prostate disorders, and the prevention of arthritis, diabetes, and asthma.
The added alfalfa leaf to your dog's diet will also ensure better mineral absorption and aids digestion as it is abundant in degestive enzymes.
Hemp: Hemp contains a wide array of amino acids and is rich in EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids) and GLA (Gamma Linoleic Acid). Hemp is known to control cholesterol and aid in the treatment of arthritis and inflamation.
Rosemary: We add rosemary to our recipes because it is a natural, powerful anti-oxidant with an excellent ability to preserve food.
Our meals for dogs are complete and can be fed on their own. However, feel free to give your dog a bone to chew on as it promotes healthy teeth and gums.
Why choose raw food?
Raw foods for dogs have a staggering number of benefits. Some of these benefits are:
- More energy
- Livelier eyes
- Shinier coat
- Better immune system
- Better bioavailability of vitamins & amino acids
- Better breath & cleaner teeth
- Preservation of digestive enzymes
- Stool of smaller size with less odour
Why dehydrate?
Dehydration brings raw food many advantages:
- Air-drying naturally preserves the nutrition benefits of raw foods
- Safe food-handling (mold, pathogenic bacteria and parasites cannot survive the drying process)
- Clean to prepare
- Can be fed dry, with an equal part water, or with a little bit of water
- Less storage space required (no freezer space or refrigerator needed)
- Easier to handle (weighs 3.5 times less the weight of its non-dehdrated raw equivalent)
- Unique dehydration method gives a taste that is preferable over most dry or non-dehydrated raw foods
