Pet owners are always on the lookout for the best ways to nourish our dogs, ensuring they lead healthy, happy lives. A popular choice among dog owners is the 50/50 raw diet, which combines raw meat with high-quality kibble. Recently, there has been a growing interest in incorporating Percuro kibble with raw. By using Percuro kibble in the mix, you’re ensuring that there are no hidden nasties or antibiotics you might find in other formulations.
Natalie Cannon, ranked 2nd in Spaniel Championships 2019 and a Respected B Panel Kennel Club Judge, shares her experience:
"I have always used a 50/50 mixer with my raw, due to trialling and travelling with my dogs. It wasn't until the freezers went down in my house that I realized a novel protein complimented my raw feeding better than anticipated due to its high protein. It also includes all the supplements I use in my raw feeding! My dogs look well, in fact a little too well."
Why Choose Percuro?
Percuro uses the the Black Soldier Fly (BSF), a sustainable and nutritious alternative to traditional meat proteins. Here's a closer look at why Percuro is an excellent addition to a 50/50 raw diet:
- High Protein Content: BSF larvae are rich in protein, providing all essential amino acids that dogs need for muscle development and overall health. This high protein content complements the raw meat portion of the diet, ensuring a balanced and complete nutritional profile.
- Digestibility: Insect protein is highly digestible, making it easy on your dog's digestive system. This can be particularly beneficial for dogs with sensitive stomachs or food intolerances-or working dogs who need always need to be in tip-top shape.
- Environmental Sustainability: Insect farming requires significantly less land, water, and space compared to traditional livestock farming (check out our last blog post for more information). By choosing Percuro, you’re contributing to a more sustainable planet.
