Why Frontier Pets food is a cut above

Bringing you nature’s best

Frontier Pets sets a new standard in pet nutrition by harnessing the power of raw diets. Our handpicked selection of raw meats, bones, fruits, and vegetables mirrors the balanced diet of wild animals. This natural approach ensures an optimal blend of essential nutrients crucial for your pet’s health.

The source of our meat is as important as the meat itself. We choose free-range farms where animals are nurtured in stress-free environments (for whole of life), allowing them to roam and grow naturally. This ethical farming translates into high-quality, nutritious meat that benefits your pets.

Our commitment to organic ingredients is steadfast. Every element in our pet food is free from harmful synthetic pesticides and fertilisers, as well as genetically modified organisms. This dedication goes beyond providing the best food for a puppy and extends to environmental sustainability.

Preserving purity and taste

Frontier Pets employs the freeze-drying process to maintain the nutritional integrity of raw ingredients. This technique preserves the natural vitamins, minerals, and enzymes present in raw food, which are often lost in conventional cooking methods.

The benefits of freeze-dried dog food extend to convenience and safety. This method naturally enhances the shelf life of pet food, eliminating the need for artificial preservatives. It simplifies storage and handling, making it the best food for a puppy and for their busy pet parents.

The freeze-drying process also retains the original flavours and textures of the ingredients, ensuring the food is appetising and enjoyable for pets. This is especially helpful for those picky pets, offering them balanced puppy food that is both nutritious and delicious.

Addressing puppy nutrition

Weight management and reducing irritations

Steering your puppy’s diet towards a Biologically Appropriate Raw Food (BARF) diet will benefit them in a number of ways. High in proteins and low in carbs, this diet is a natural fit for maintaining a lean and healthy physique. It’s a proactive step against obesity and overfeeding.

You should also consider their skin health. Puppies can react to processed foods or grains. A hypoallergenic BARF diet is gluten-free and grain-free, reducing the risk of skin irritations and allergies. It’s about feeding them right to keep their coats as shiny as their eyes.

Boosted energy and smooth digestion

The BARF diet switches out your puppy’s source of energy from grains to proteins, sweet potatoes, and leafy greens. These slow-release carbohydrates are fuel tanks for your puppy’s adventures, keeping them sprightly and spirited.

When it comes to aiding digestion, our freeze-dried raw puppy food takes the cake. A healthier digestive system means less clean-up for pet owners. Puppies consuming raw food tend to have smaller and less frequent poops, which are an indication of more efficient nutrient absorption.

Convenience and accessibility

Effortless feeding and meal preparation

Frontier Pets makes pet feeding easier and simpler. Our food, which comes in pellet form, rehydrates into a fresh, warm meal with just a small amount of warm water. This efficient process only takes about twenty seconds.

We’ve crafted some of the best food for a puppy to seamlessly fit into your daily routine, making meal preparation a breeze for busy pet owners. It’s easy to tailor portions to suit your puppy’s age, weight, and health conditions, ensuring they receive the right amount of nourishment every time.Β

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What ingredients should I look for in puppy food?

When choosing the best food for a puppy, prioritise high-quality, human-grade ingredients.Β 

The ideal balanced puppy diet has both protein and plant-based elements and is enriched with a variety of vitamins and minerals for healthy bone and tooth development. Look for foods where real meat, such as chicken, beef, or fish, is listed first, signifying a protein-rich diet essential for muscle development.

Don’t overlook unique ingredients like Ascophyllum nodosum, a seaweed known for its oral health benefits, and almond meal, a powerhouse of protein, healthy fats, and fibre. Green-lipped mussels are another gem packed with omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, fostering healthy joints and mobility.

Should I consider organic or natural puppy food options?

Organic or natural puppy food options offer multiple benefits. At Frontier Pets, we believe the best food for a puppy is devoid of artificial additives, ensuring your puppy consumes wholesome, chemical-free ingredients for improved digestion and a lower risk of allergies.Β 

The environmental difference is also big; organic farming practices are sustainable and kinder to our planet. Moreover, organic foods are fresher and preserve the integrity of nutrients, thanks to minimal processing.

What is the best feeding schedule for a growing puppy?

A growing puppy’s feeding schedule should be tailored to their age, breed, and size.Β 

Typically, puppies should have three to four meals daily up to six months of age, transitioning to two meals daily thereafter. Larger breeds may benefit from three daily meals for an extended period. Treats for a puppy also need to be accounted for, as these should not exceed 10% of their diet.

Regular monitoring of your puppy’s growth helps you adjust their diet accordingly. You can take advantage of our feeding calculator for guidance or consult a veterinarian for personalised recommendations. Remember, proper nutrition in these formative months lays the foundation for a healthy and vibrant life.
