Dog Standards Cost and Value
Just as with quality, the price of dog food can vary widely. So what goes into those cost differences, and why is some kibble less expensive than fresher options?
The simple answer is that if kibble bags were full of the things depicted on their labels such as premium cuts of meat and fresh vegetables, it likely wouldn’t be as cheap (and it wouldn’t really be kibble).
Here’s why the “cheaper” option will actually end up costing you more in the end.

Health and Safely Standards
Dog Standards fresh dog food offers a myriad of health benefits when compared to traditional kibble. Firstly, it is made with premium, human-grade ingredients that are free from artificial additives and preservatives. This ensures that dogs receive a nutritionally balanced diet without any potential harmful substances. Most pet food, even so-called “premium” kibble is considered feed-grade which means it can be made with things that would be unfit and illegal to sell for human consumption (including so-called 4D meats—diseased, disabled, dying, and dead animals—as long as they are rendered at high heat into powdered “meals” or fats).
Fresh dog food also retains higher levels of essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, thanks to minimal processing and gentle cooking methods. Kibble, in contrast, is subject to multiple rounds of high-heat, high-pressure processing that severely damages the food’s nutrients and turns it into those dried pellets. Gently cooking or steaming our food promotes better digestion and absorption of nutrients, leading to improved energy levels, a shinier coat, and overall enhanced well-being.
Moreover, Dog Standards' fresh dog food can be tailored to individual dogs' specific dietary needs, catering to allergies, sensitivities, and weight management more effectively. The natural flavors and textures of fresh ingredients also make mealtime more enjoyable for dogs, encouraging healthy eating habits. In essence, opting for Dog Standards' fresh dog food not only prioritizes a dog's health but also reflects a commitment to their long-term vitality and happiness.
Whole Ingredients
The difference between the fresh vegetables in Dog Standards' dog food and those found in traditional kibble is quite significant. Dog Standards utilizes high-quality, human-grade vegetables that are sourced from local suppliers. As a result, dogs receive a wholesome and nutritionally rich diet with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that contribute to their overall health and immune system. When you portion your dog’s food, you can see whole chickpeas, chunks of carrots and diced sweet potatoes in every pack of Dog Standards.
In contrast, any vegetables that might be in an ingredient deck on a bag of kibble are zapped by the high-heat process used to make those dried pellets, and the nutritional value reduced. The high heat and pressure cooking process involved in making kibble can lead to a reduction in the nutrient content of the vegetables, making them less beneficial for a dog's well-being.
