It's pretty simple. We have NO preservatives, coloring, sugar or other additives in our food.
Each of our recipes contains 6-7 fresh human grade ingredients.
The idea behind The Natural Bowl is to serve as close to natural, raw ingredients as possible, without having the hassle of having to cook every night, or having to store the food in the fridge/freezer.
The term human grade in pet food means the finished product is legally suitable and approved as nourishment for humans. It is edible for people.
Human foods are much more rigorously regulated than foods made for animals.
The Natural Bowl is made in a facility that normally produces human food - not pet food - and as such it is under the same regulations and control by the FDA as regular, human food.
Dehydration is the process of removing the moisture, while at the same time locking in the nutrients and all the goodness. It is one of the oldest forms of food preservation.
Dehydrated food only minimally affects the nutritional value, and the process can contribute to the healthy benefits of the food.
To dehydrate our food, it's being gently heated over up over several hours to remove the moisture from the raw products.
By heating it gently we keep all the taste and nutrition intact. We simply remove the water part of the raw component.
By removing the moisture we prevent growth of spoilage-causing microorganisms, and thus we can maintain a long shelf-life without any preservatives.
