At Nurturing by Nature, we understand that the foundation of good health is good food. That’s why we’re committed to providing your pets with the highest quality raw food, made from ingredients sourced with care and precision. One of our key practices, which sets us apart in the raw pet food industry, is our strict sourcing and procurement process. We believe in transparency and we are more than happy to share how we ensure freshness and quality in every bite your pet enjoys.
Direct Sourcing from Abattoirs
Our journey towards unmatched quality begins right at the source. Unlike many pet food brands that use middlemen or buy frozen meats, we purchase our meats directly from abattoirs. More importantly, we ensure that we procure meat on “kill day plus one.” This means that the meat used in your pet’s food is processed almost immediately after slaughter, drastically reducing the time between the animal being humanely killed and the product being prepared for your pet.
Fresh at Source, Preserved for Nutrition
Once procured, the fresh meat is quickly brought to our facilities where it undergoes a meticulous inspection and preparation process. To maintain the freshness and nutritional quality over time, especially given our UK-wide distribution needs, the meat is then frozen at optimal temperatures. This method locks in the freshness, nutrients, and natural flavours until it reaches your pet’s bowl. Freezing is a natural preservation method that avoids the need for artificial preservatives and maintains the meat’s quality as close to its natural state as possible.
Benefits of Fresh Meat in Pet Diets
Freshness in pet food is not just about taste. It’s about health. Fresh, minimally processed, and correctly preserved meat provides your pets with numerous benefits:
- Enhanced Nutrition: Fresh meat retains more natural enzymes and nutrients which are often lost in longer processing or when ingredients are stored for extended periods.
- Improved Digestibility: Fresh and properly frozen meats are easier for pets to digest, meaning your pets can absorb more nutrients effectively.
- Natural Tastes: Pets naturally prefer fresh foods; our preservation process ensures that they can enjoy these natural flavours every time.
Our Sourcing Standards and Practices
We choose our slaughterhouse partners with extreme care, ensuring that they meet rigorous standards for animal welfare and meat quality. Each supplier is required to comply with comprehensive regulations that guarantee the humane treatment of animals and high-quality meat production. We also conduct regular visits and quality checks to ensure these standards are consistently met.
Impact on Pet Health and Well-being
The proof of our commitment to quality is evident in the health and happiness of pets who eat our food. We regularly hear from pet owners who notice improved vitality, healthier coats, and better overall health in their pets since switching to our raw diet. Veterinarians and pet nutritionists commend the digestibility and nutritional content of our meals, and we are proud to support a thriving community of healthy, happy pets.
