Add Moisture to Your Pet's Food with Flo from Crude Carnivore

Why is moisture important in your pet's diet?

We talk about the WHY!

Makes your body crave moisture when you feed your pet dry kibble, so they drink more. Both dogs and cats.

Your pets are designed (think carnivores) to eat food that contains 60-80% moisture.

Intracellular moisture is extremely important for the digestive tract, for the proper digestion and breakdown of food nutrients. Without this moisture, in the example of dry food kibble diets, the cat or dog is in a constant state of dehydration. Drinking water from a bowl is not usually sufficient.

Historically, cats derive most of the water their bodies needed from their prey. Because dry food has a low moisture content, your cat needs to get water from a dish, fountain or wet food. Feeding a combination of wet and dry food, rather than just dry, is a great way to help your cat get more water.

What can you do? Add filtered water (if tap water is something you wouldn't drink it). You can warm up the water and pour it over the food. Or warm up the broth you are using as a pour-over.

Welcome to the Fangs & Fur Podcast

Welcome to the Fangs & Fur Podcast

Here's what it's all about.We are Danielle and Anthony Santilli, and we own a pet food store in Columbus, OH that is focused on educating pet owners on the benefits of feeding a fresh, species-appropriate diet.Or simply - “Food nature intended” Since 2019, we have been helping pet parents transition their pets from ultra processed diets to diets our canines and felines have been thriving off of for millennia and long before the development of canned and bagged pet food. We have 2 dogs, Mozzie and Foxy, both with their own journeys, that have inspired our exploration in what it means to "feed like you give a damn."(That’s our hashtag btw!)On our Fangs & Fur podcast, we will interview brands that we believe in, align with, and personally sell in our store. We will talk to industry experts on current research, best practices, and the natural products and remedies. We can’t wait to share real life success stories and have you be part of this movement that we wholeheartedly believe in. Our main objective of this podcast is to equip you with the knowledge and confidence to be able to make the best decisions when it comes to your pets health. We will be answering a question of the week in every episode, so send in a question. Either DM us at @fangsfurpets or send us an email at danielle@fangsfur.com.
