Carnilove Dog Foods on Natural Cornish Pet Shelves

In today’s post, we will be exploring Carnilove, their phenomenal products and how your dogs and cats can benefit from a diet that closely resembles one that they might have consumed before their cohabitation with humans. 

Pet Diet Evolution and the Benefit of Wild-Origin Meats 

Once upon a time in the distant past, humans decided to domesticate and live alongside dogs and cats, and thank god they did! However, with domestication came moves toward a diet that more closely resembled that of us humans than it did the wild ancestors of our pets. This move towards foods with grains and other fillers such as potatoes has ended with the modern dog food era and a diet that is probably as far as it’s ever been from its ancestral roots. 

The good news is that lots of pet food producers, including Carnilove and ourselves at The Pets Larder, have taken steps to ensure your pets have a choice in this matter and can be fed foods that are diverse, delicious and as close to their ancestral diets as possible, making for happier and healthier lives.

But what is wild-origin meat, I hear you ask? Simply put, wild-origin meats are those that most closely respond to the composition of natural prey that would have been consumed by your pet’s forebears. Examples of wild-origin meats include; reindeer, wild boar, salmon, duck and pheasant and are a great source of important and bio-appropriate amino acids. Dogs have been part of the human story for over 14,000 years now and we think it’s high time we treated them like we would ourselves and feed them with the most appropriate and best quality foods we can.
