Jenifer M: 'My husband and I are very happy with the chicken keto dog food for our golden doodle. We have cycled him off of it and he just doesn’t thrive as well. Please keep up the good work!'

Looking back on puppy photos like 🥹…

Did you know Ketona’s high protein and low carbohydrate content gives puppies everything they need and nothing they don’t?

No byproduct meals or artificial flavors. No corn, no rice, no wheat. No potatoes, no barley, no sweet potatoes. No cereal grains or tubers of any kind.

Lots of things impact nutrition, but only nutrition impacts health.

So when thinking about the claimed health benefits of pet food products, the claims can either be reduced to nutritional terms or they’re not worth considering at all, period. Make sense?

Thanks for your review, Brian! While we’re not sure which Royal Canin formula you’re feeding, since you have a Golden Retriever, we decided to plug their Golden Retriever Adult Dry Dog Food into our Dog Food Nutrition Calculator to check the carbohydrate percentage. Can you guess?

Here’s the answer: 42.3%! That’s right—this vet-recommended food has a P:C ratio of 0.54:1, meaning there’s nearly double the amount of carbohydrates compared to protein. To compare, Ketona has a P:C ratio of >5:1!

What do we know about carbohydrates and weight loss?
- Carbs are inflammatory.
- Peer-reviewed studies consistently show that reducing carbohydrate intake helps reduce body fat in dogs—often without needing to lower overall caloric intake.

Curious about the P:C ratio of other brands? Check out our Dog Food Nutrition Calculator, where you can see the percentage of digestible carbohydrates in your dog’s food: https://ketonaturalpetfoods.com/pages/dog-food-analysis-calculate-your-carbs-percentage-and-protein-to-carb-ratio #/nutritional-content-calculator

Brian S: 'My 2 pups have been eating Ketona for several months now and love it. Since switching over from Royal Canin (Golden Retriever and Labrador Retriever), they lost a few pounds and have definitely leaned up. My Golden is a little picky eater from new bags of his Royal Canin. But since switchi...

Have you ever been told by your vet that your dog needs “good protein” or cautioned against feeding “too much protein”? 🥩 Same.

But then, when you dig a little deeper, the suggestion often circles back to the same Big Kibble brands conveniently sold at the clinic, claiming to have the “perfect protein balance.”

Here’s the thing: According to the Association of American Feed Control Officials ( ), dog diets should contain at least 22.5% protein for growth and 18% for maintenance.

But let’s take a closer look at a popular vet-recommended diet, like Hill’s Pet Nutrition. Did you know its carbohydrate content is almost three times higher than its protein content? That’s so insane that it’s almost impressive. The Adult Chicken & Barley Recipe’s minimum crude protein is also just 19.5% — barely above the absolute minimum requirement for MAINTENANCE.

Or consider ProPlan, another common recommendation, with 26% Minimum Crude Protein and about 40% of calories from non-fibrous carbs.

Now, contrast that with what we know about canine instincts and biology. When dogs are free to choose, they naturally gravitate toward diets rich in protein and fat — much like their wild ancestors, wolves, whose diets are approximately 52% protein and 45% fat.

So, what does this mean for modern dogs? As pet parents, we should look beyond bare-minimum industry standards and consider diets that align with their natural instincts and nutritional needs. A high-protein, low-carb diet not only supports their overall health but also helps them thrive in a way that feels true to their biology.

Ketona contains more animal-derived protein per serving than any other kibble on the planet. That’s right, more than 90% of the protein comes from animal sources.

When dogs self-select their meals, they prefer diets with significantly more protein, revealing their instinctual nutritional needs. High-protein diets are biologically suitable, fostering muscle growth and preventing nutritional deficiencies, unlike carbohydrate-heavy commercial options that often rely on fillers like oats and corn.

This year, give the gift of a longer, healthier life. Give them Ketona. 🐶

Ketona has no corn, no wheat, no soy, no potato, no rice, no barley, no sweet potato.

In contrast, many other dog foods contain 30% to 70% carbohydrates derived from these ingredients. In these non keto kibbles, carbohydrates often act as fillers — providing calories with little nutritional value. WHY? Simple. Carbs are cheap.

With less than 6% carbohydrate (75% less than leading “grain-free” kibbles) and more than 46% protein—Ketona is nutrition the way nature intended.

📣 Obesity is the most common preventable disease in dogs in North America. 📣

The scientific evidence all points to one thing...when dogs are fed more carbs, they gain more weight.

Peer-reviewed studies have linked consumption to all manner of health problems in dogs, including inflammation, obesity, diabetes, elevated insulin and blood sugar level, cancers, and even overall mortality.

Today’s dog , even the premium brands ‼️, has at least 40% carbs yet dogs ate zero carbs for 99% of their evolutionary heritage.

📦 💬Here’s a thought we’d love to deliver 📦💬

The notion that a dog can be fed too little carbohydrate is so worrying to us. That’s just shockingly ignorant — not only does it have no grounding in the scientific record, it is literally the OPPOSITE of what the evidence shows. The one thing that makes a diabetic dog different from a healthy one is its inability to properly metabolize dietary carbohydrate. Saying the animal needs “more carbohydrate” is the equivalent of a doctor telling a person with an allergy to eat more of the very thing they are allergic to.

If you’re of the crazy belief that a diet with less than 5% starch might just be a better choice for your diabetic dog’s glycemic control than one with more than 50% carbohydrate, welcome to the .

Today, we celebrate the birthday of our CEO and Founder, Daniel Schulof! If you’ve ever reached out to KetoNatural, there’s a good chance you’ve heard directly from Daniel himself.

Daniel spent four years researching and writing his book, Dogs, Dog Food, and Dogma, which highlights the evidence linking carbohydrate consumption to chronic diseases in modern pets. In 2018, he launched KetoNatural to bring better nutrition to the forefront of pet care.

Under his leadership, KetoNatural has tirelessly championed pet owner interests. Daniel has compiled hundreds of free resources to educate pet owners on nutritional science and the pet food industry. He’s taken on Big Kibble and the FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine, fighting for transparency in pet food regulations. He’s also been at the forefront of debunking the myths behind the “grain-free” controversy and its alleged link to canine dilated cardiomyopathy.

With another year of incredible accomplishments behind him, Daniel shows no signs of slowing down.

Happy Birthday, Daniel! Thank you for creating the most honest, innovative, and impactful company in the pet care industry. Here’s to you! 🎉

‘These treats are great.’ - Mary M.

Why use a thousand words when this says it all? 💕 Thank you, Mary, for your review!

Mary M: 'These treats are great. I also have bought the chicken flavored kibble. But I bought it from Petco because the offer a 4 lb bag. If you ever offer a 4lb bag, let me know. I'll order from you instead along with the treats.'

🔬 November is also Month!

Did you know that the leading veterinary nutrition textbooks all highlight how and why c@ncer-stricken dogs should be “deprived” of dietary carbs?

“Carbohydrate metabolism is dramatically altered in dogs with c@ncer,” the authors of Small Animal Clinical Nutrition report. More specifically, as they put it, “tumors preferentially metabolize glucose for energy.” The other veterinary nutrition textbooks highlight this well-documented reality in more or less the same way: carbs beget glucose, and glucose begets tumors.

And what’s the recommended nutritional intervention to deal with this metabolic reality? The obvious one: cut out the carbs.
