At Brookside Barkery we believe in “Better Health Through Better Nutrition” - as a matter a fact it is our slogan! We are excited to share that the fastest growing pet food categories are Gently Cooked & Freshly Frozen Raw Foods. This means more and more pet parents are getting away from brands like Science Diet, Pro Plan, Royal Canin and others from large corporations that are full of non-healthy fillers like corn, soy and wheat.

We recommend building a healthier bowl by starting with reducing your kibble to 75-80% of the bowl, then adding gently cooked, raw, or air/freeze-dried food to the top. In this email, we will focus on Gently Cooked as it has many health advantages when you add it as a topper to healthy kibble or feed it as the main meal:
-
Human Grade: Most gently cooked ingredients are classified as human-grade foods. This highlights the quality and freshness of the ingredients. Gently cooked foods are meant to replace you cooking human foods for your pets, they're that good.
-
Nutrient Retention: Gently cooked foods are prepared at temperatures just high enough to kill pathogens, but low enough to preserve as many natural nutrients and flavors as possible. Making it nutrient rich in every bite!
-
Incredible Ingredients: Most gently cooked foods are comprised of: nutrient-rich meats and organs, healthy fruits and veggies, superfoods like kale, botanicals and its all mixed together in a super healthy bone broth.
-
Highly Digestible: The protein in gently cooked and raw diets is more bioavailable and digestible than proteins cooked at elevated temperatures. Also, the proteins are paired with fruits and veggies which increases absorption rates; thus, your pet is getting more nutrition per pound than any other food. Contrast this with large national brands that include fillers and by-products which are on the opposite side of digestibility, they are hard to digest and give very little nutrition per pound. And, all those fillers show up as large piles in the back yard, that's all they are good for!
We now carry three wonderful brands of Gently Cooked: Open Farm, Stella & Chewy's and Fromm Family Foods. Soon, we will be adding a fourth brand that we think you love. At Brookside Bakery we have KC's largest selection of Gently Cooked and Freshly Frozen Raw Foods. We want you to have the best healthy choices for your pet!
