Oh, of course they don't want to lose money, but don't be fooled by their marketing, it's still junk!

Big Pet Food just made a move the kibble-for-life vet community can’t ignore: Royal Canin is now selling a gently cooked fresher-food diet. 🙀

For years, many conventional vets have defended ultra-processed diets as the gold standard of nutrition— more nutritious and safer than fresh, minimally foods (for pets, not for people…. figure that one out). But if Big Kibble is now shifting toward fresher foods, their argument just lost its teeth.

As pet parents turn away from highly processed kibble and search for fresh, minimally processed pet foods🥩, Mars (the candy bar company that makes Royal Canin), not wanting to lose out on any more of the market, released a rice-based 🍚, cooked, frozen, feed-grade quality (made with ingredients not approved for human consumption 🤢), fresher food diet (like Freshpet).

It’ll be so interesting to watch the conventional vet community respond to it, because every doctor that sells Mars products is going to have to accept that it could become one of their top selling foods, but in a format they’ve argued against their entire careers. 

What an interesting way to force kibble-loving veterinarians to accept the fact that health conscious consumers recognize any type of fresher foods are better than ultra-processed foods, for all species. None of us were meant to thrive on highly engineered, processed pellets, it’s kind of counterintuitive for good health, yet still argued in veterinary medicine.

Stay tuned… it will be an interesting unfolding of explanations 🍿🤠. “The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.” —Albert Einstein

Rundown Ranch Cattle Dogs, LLC

We have been raising Australian Cattle Dogs since 1998. Unfortunately we found that most of the Cattle Dogs in our area have health problems due to poor breeding and decided that we wanted to change that.

We have spent a significant amount of time seeking out the best kennels across the nation. We make sure that our breeding stock have good blood lines and are fully health tested. It is important to us that we raise beautiful healthy dogs with good personalities and working drive. Even if you are not looking for a working dog, it should still have the right traits and drive.

All of our dogs are treated like family and are handled daily. We take a little bit different approach to feeding and healthcare than most breeders. We don’t just look at the cost of care, we look at the quality first and foremost. All of our dogs are insured through Trupanion and each puppy from a litter will come with limited benefits.

Here at the Rundown Ranch we only feed raw diets once the puppy reaches 12 months of age. During the transition from mother’s milk to raw, we feed a combination of a top quality natural kibble and raw food. Even their treats and bones are important. We found a quality commercial treat that consists of only 5 natural ingredients with no colors or fillers. And you can always find a raw beef bone or two (or three or more) laying around for them to gnaw. Bones provide important nutrients from the marrow and help keep their teeth clean and white. They also help prevent chewing on the wrong things. Like people, dogs need additional vitamins and supplements. Cattle dogs are active and require joint care from an early age to minimize arthritis and joint related issues. We regularly do blood work to monitor their overall health. Our dogs are in excellent condition and it shows in their coats and annual exams.
