Raised Right Dog Food: Human-Grade Quality for Dogs?
Okay, so I've been meaning to switch up my dog's food for a while now. He's been getting a little, uh, chunky, and I wanted something healthier. I kept seeing ads for "Raised Right" dog food, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Here's how it went down:
The Research Phase
First, I did what any responsible dog owner would do – I googled it. I spent a good hour reading reviews and checking out their website. I liked that they use human-grade ingredients. Seemed pretty legit, and not packed with a bunch of junk and fillers.
Ordering and Arrival
Ordering was easy, you just go to the website, I picked the beef recipe, 'cause my dog seems to love beef. The food arrived frozen, packed in dry ice. Kinda like those meal kit services for people. I was impressed, it all felt really...fresh. You know?
The Transition
I didn't want to upset my dog's stomach, so I slowly mixed the Raised Right food with his old kibble. I started with just a little bit, then gradually increased the amount of Raised Right over a week. I'm no expert, but I followed the instructions they sent with the order, so it all seemed to be perfect.
The Taste Test (from my dog's perspective, of course!)
My dog went absolutely nuts for it! Seriously, he's never been this excited about mealtime. He'd practically inhale the stuff. It made me feel good knowing he was enjoying it so much, and it made it easier to complete switching the old food.
The Results
- Energy Boost: I've definitely noticed he's got more pep in his step. We're going on longer walks, and he's way more playful.
- Shinier Coat: Okay, this might sound weird, but his fur looks...better. It's softer and shinier.
- Weight Management: This is the big one. He's actually lost a little weight! It's not a drastic change, but it's noticeable.
Final Thoughts
Honestly, I'm really happy with Raised Right so far. It's a bit pricier than the old stuff, but seeing my dog so healthy and happy makes it worth it. I feel like I'm doing something good for him, which is what being a good dog owner is all about, I feel I'm really a good dog owner!
