Human Grade Dog Food: Human Dog Food vs Traditional Kibble

Our modern kibble range by Ultimate Pet Foods, healthy, gut friendly, naturally steamed alternative.

As pet owners become more aware of their canines nutrition the debate between human grade dog food and traditional kibble has heated up. Is the more expensive, fresher option worth it? Let’s get into the pros and cons of each type of human dog food so you can make the best decision for your four legged friend.

Traditional Dog Food Kibble

Kibble has been the standard of dog nutrition for decades. Manufactured by big pet food companies these dried pellets are:

• Convenient and easy to store with a long shelf life making them a practical choice for many pet owners.

• Generally cheaper than human grade dog food alternatives.

• Designed to be a balanced diet with added vitamins and minerals.

• Helpful for dental health as the crunchy texture can help reduce tartar build up.

But traditional kibble isn’t without its downsides. Most kibble is:

• Heavily processed with ingredients that may include low quality meat by-products, fillers and artificial preservatives.

• Cooked at high temperatures that can destroy some of the natural nutrients in the ingredients.

• Based on a one size fits all approach that doesn’t account for individual dog nutritional needs.

Human Grade Dog Food

Human grade dog food is a game changer in pet nutrition. Unlike traditional kibble these foods are:

• Made with ingredients that meet human food standards.

• Made with whole, fresh ingredients you’d find in your own kitchen.

• Minimally processed often made in small batches.

• Free from artificial preservatives, colours and fillers.

The benefits of human dog food are pretty compelling:

• Higher quality protein sources

• Recognisable and natural ingredients

• Better digestibility

• Tailored to individual dog’s nutritional needs

Let’s challenge a common myth: Not all dry dog food is created equal. Ultimate Pet Foods is disrupting the human dog food market with an approach that bridges the gap between traditional dry food and premium nutrition.

Nutritional Comparison

When it comes to nutrition human grade dog foods have a clear advantage:

• Protein Quality: Human grade dog food uses whole meat sources, kibble may use meat by-products or meal.

• Ingredient Transparency: You can actually see the ingredients in human grade dog food.

• Nutrient Retention: Gentler cooking processes preserve more natural nutrients.

Cost

Let’s be real – human grade dog food comes with a higher price tag:

• Kibble can cost as little as £1-£2 per KG

• Human grade dog food £5-£10 per KG

• For many pet owners the price difference is the biggest hurdle. So Ultimate Pet Foods range of modern kibble is a better all round choice. Why not try a sample pack.
