1. One study published in the Journal of Animal Science found that dogs on a fresh food diet had improved coat condition and decreased stool volume compared to those on a cooked food diet (De Paola et al., 2003).
2. Another study published in the Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association found that dogs on a fresh food diet had a significant reduction in tartar accumulation on their teeth compared to those on a commercial dry food diet (Langston et al., 2004).
3. Fresh food feeding may also improve digestion in dogs. One study published in the journal PloS One found that raw feeding was associated with a higher diversity of bacteria in the gut, which may be beneficial for overall gut health (Zentek et al., 2013).
