Beef is an excellent source of protein, containing all the essential amino acids required by dogs. It has many essential nutrients including high levels of zinc and iron which help maintain stamina and heart health. Beef is rich in the minerals manganese, selenium, and potassium, and in B vitamins that improve the absorption of protein, fat, and carbohydrates.

This menu contains the following beef organ meats: beef heart, lung and liver, which are dense with essential minerals and vitamins. They are rich sources of probiotics aiding healthy digestion, riboflavin, niacin (Vitamin B3), Vitamin B6, Vitamin D, Phosphorus, iron, and zinc.

Chicken is rich in the trace mineral selenium, which supports thyroid health and the immune system. It also contains the cancer-protective B vitamin niacin that aids in controlling glucose levels in the body as well as converting protein, fat, and carbohydrates into usable energy. Vitamin B6 supports energy metabolism and cardiovascular health. Chicken is also a natural source of bio-available calcium, Glucosamine, and Chondroitin.

Bones & Cartilage: Ground chicken bones are used to provide key minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, while beef and chicken cartilage is added to this menu as a great source of glucosamine to support joint health.

Seaweed: is one of the most nutrient-dense and environmentally-sustainable crops on the planet. In addition to being one of the richest sources of minerals and protein (amino acids), seaweed also possesses a range of medicinal characteristics, including anticancer and anti-inflammatory activity and can produce thicker, shinier coats, enhanced immunity and energy as well as improved digestion.

Oils: Cold pressed sunflower oil is added to the recipe since it is rich in omega-6, an essential fatty acid that must be gotten through food (your cat’s body cannot make it). Omega-6’s help stimulate skin and hair growth, maintain the reproductive system, and promote a healthy immune system.

What is Freeze-Dried Food?

Freeze Dried (Dehydrated) cat food is a shelf-stable alternative to raw cat food. Dehydration is one of the oldest and most efficient forms of food preservation. Drying at low temperatures preserves more of a food’s vital nutrients while maintaining its natural color and taste. It’s a difference you can see and smell. Dehydrated cat food can be used as a complete & balanced meal, a meal mixer, or even a treat.

IS DEHYDRATED CAT FOOD GOOD FOR CATS?

This unique blend of ingredients and preparation process offer an alternative from your typical dog kibble filled with corn meal and by-products. Here are a few of the top benefits to MUSH’s dehydrated dog food:

Quality Ingredients: Finnish human-grade, free-range meats from local farms and vegetables and fruits grown in the clean Finnish soil, coming mainly from small farms close to MUSH’s factory.
Minimally processed: The dehydration process gently removes the moisture from the whole food ingredients to preserve more vitamins and minerals.
Convenience: Just add water to make it species appropriate. It’s perfect for traveling or other situations where it might be difficult to keep food frozen.

The amounts are indicative and many factors affect a cat’s feeding requirements, such as lifestyle (indoor or outdoor cat), activity level, metabolism and age. Monitor your cat and adjust the amount according to their individual needs.

The benefits of a freeze-dried food diet for dogs and cats

The Benefits of a Raw and / or Freeze-Dried Food Diet

Healthy skin and coat – Many pets are allergic to grains, which can lead to pathologic skin conditions. A raw natural diet provides allergy relief, reduction and/or eradication.
Cleaner, whiter and stronger teeth – Many dry foods leave a starchy coating on the teeth, which promotes plaque. Feeding a raw diet maintains healthier teeth and gums as well as fresher breath.
Stools- Harder, smaller, less smelly stools that are easier to scoop up from the little box or pick up in the garden. Less smelly farts.
Decreased litter box odor – Many pet foods include protein that is indigestible for cats (and dogs), which leads to an undesirable odor at the litter box.
Natural weight control – Cats and dogs are healthiest on a high protein, low carbohydrate diet.
A stronger immune system, more energy and stamina – Pet’s digestive systems are designed to ingest raw meat and are healthiest eating what Nature intended.

Some Changes to Expect:

After a full transition to a raw diet, pets will typically drink less water. In the wild they get most of their water from their prey. A raw meat diet naturally contains more moisture than dry or canned food, so your cat or dog may be less thirsty, yet be getting plenty of water.
There will likely be a change in the size, odour, and color of the pet’s faeces. They will stink less! They may also be somewhat harder and dryer and be colored shades of dark and light brown. Much of the crude protein and crude fiber in most commercial dry and canned pet foods is not digestible and hence contributes to a higher stool volume. Along with the assurance of knowing that all the food your beloved pooch or feline is ingesting, is actually being digested, the less stinky poops are certainly a nice bonus!
Overweight Cats and Dogs tend to lose weight. However, weight loss must be closely monitored. Rapid weight loss can lead to serious health problems. Make sure you transition your pet to a raw diet gradually and seek professional advice, especially when transitioning an animal with chronic health issues.
Lethargic Pets begin feeling more energised, start to play more and may even exhibit hunting behaviour. Dogs and cats are healthiest when fed a high protein, low carbohydrate diet. When they aren’t experiencing the metabolic highs and lows associated with high carbohydrate intake from grains, typically found in kibble, they will use protein as their energy source, just as they were designed by nature to do. This tends to provide more sustained energy throughout the day and reduces the need to “graze”.
Allergies tend to clear up, which may be a result of less exposure to potential food allergens. Many pets have allergies to grains that can range from very mild to severe. These allergies can manifest on the skin, can affect digestion, and also contribute to runny eyes & nose and itchy ears or paws. The reduction in allergic symptoms may be a result of not only a reduced exposure to allergens from a higher food quality, but also from a stronger immune system. The more nutritious the food, the stronger the immune system will be.
Fur becomes incredibly soft and shedding is reduced. This is typically one of the initial benefits observed after changing to a raw diet and is a direct result of better nutrition. The humans in the household also stand to gain a lot as well, when switching their pets to raw, as they are less likely to suffer allergic reactions due to the reduction of dander.
