Why Fresh Food Leads to Better Digestion

Posted on by ndig

What goes in must come out—and when it comes to your dog’s diet, their digestion and poop can tell you a lot about their overall health. If you’ve ever been frustrated by your dog’s inconsistent stool or wondered about the strong odor, their food might be the culprit.

The Problem with Kibble

Kibble often contains low-quality fillers like corn, wheat, and soy, which can be tough for your dog to digest. These fillers may lead to:

  • Large, frequent stools due to indigestible ingredients.
  • Gassiness and bloating from hard-to-digest carbohydrates.
  • Foul smells caused by artificial additives and poor nutrient absorption.

Fresh Food and Improved Digestion

Switching to a fresh, whole-food diet like Barkivore can revolutionize your dog’s digestion. Here’s why:

  1. Higher Nutrient Absorption: Fresh ingredients are more bioavailable, meaning your dog absorbs more nutrients with less waste.
  2. Smaller, Firmer Stools: Balanced, digestible meals reduce the size and frequency of stools, making clean-up easier.
  3. Better Gut Health: Fresh food supports a healthy gut microbiome, reducing bloating and digestive discomfort.
  4. Reduced Odor: Natural ingredients eliminate the smell caused by artificial flavors and preservatives.

A Clear Sign of Health

Dogs on a fresh food diet show clear benefits: fewer accidents, easier clean-up, and happier bellies. Healthy poop is smaller, well-formed, and easy to pick up—an indicator that your dog is thriving.
