At KetoPet, we recommend feeding your dog a raw ketogenic diet 🥩🥦 as it's very similar to an ancestral diet and closely replicates how a canine might eat in the wild.

It does not include rendered or high-heat processed fats or proteins. Cooking dog food can significantly impact the quality and integrity of ingredients.

High heat can damage fats through the heating process and may increase the chance of your dog developing pancreatitis ‼️

However, if you're one of those pet parents who don't have enough time or budget to feed raw, you can also feed a ketogenic packaged food.

We recommend as it is the one we used to feed in our sanctuary 🐶 They created a freeze-dried ketogenic recipe using only low-carbohydrate ingredients that could be used in any ketogenic meal plan.

3 ways to add fiber to your dog's keto low-carb diet 👇

First things first, what is fiber for? 🧐 Fiber helps to absorb water and provide bulk to stool, keeping your dog's bowels regular and their stools formed and firm.

It also promotes good gut health by keeping the intestinal oxygen levels unsuitable for bad bacteria, preventing their growth and colonization.

Let's see some foods with high fiber content you can feed your dog:

👉 Green beans are a whole food that is a great fiber source. Smaller breed dogs may only need about a tablespoon - you can chop them up for easier measuring - while larger breed dogs can have a quarter cup.

👉 Dark leafy greens are an excellent low-calorie source of fiber. For every cup of dark greens, there are 0.6-2 grams of fiber. If your dog likes to eat them, then cut the greens up small for them to digest easily.

👉 Chia seeds are a rich source of dietary fiber, helping regulate your dog's digestive system and potentially relieve constipation. The fiber in chia seeds can also slow digestion, regulating your dog's blood sugar. We suggest giving a dog 1 tbsp per 40 lbs.

Which ketogenic diet plan option should you follow? 🤔

Regardless of why you might be putting your dog on a ketogenic diet, we suggest starting them on an Option 1 Plan that contains 69% of calories from fat, 30% from protein, and 1% from net carbohydrates.

Starting your best friend on this plan will allow them to experience a smoother transition as they shift toward a higher-fat diet. ❤️🐾

If your dog has cancer or seizures, we recommend transitioning them to a higher-fat plan. This switch may offer therapeutic benefits, and most dogs can get into ketosis with this macronutrient distribution. ✅

REMEMBER ‼️ It is essential to work alongside your vet if you use the diet as a metabolic therapy for cancer or seizure control.

COPPER IN PET FOOD UPDATE:

Regarding Visionary Pet Foods, we deliberately keep copper content on the low side because an increasing number of dogs have problems with copper storage disease. Feedlot-fed beef is high in copper, which may contribute to the rise in copper storage disease.

Our copper levels meet AAFCO adult minimums, which is 1.8 mg/1000kcal. AAFCO doesn’t list a maximum. In Europe (FEDIAF), they list 7.3 mg/1000kcal as a maximum. It is our belief that anything over 6 mg/1000kcal is high.

Visionary Pet Foods Freeze, Dried Beef Formula, Contains:
1.8 mg per 1000 kcal (as formulated)

Visionary Pet Foods Freeze, Dried Chicken Formula, Contains:
2.2 mg per 1000 kcal (as formulated)

Visionary Pet Foods Dry Beef Formula Contains:

3.80 mg per 1000 kcal (as formulated)

Visionary Pet Foods Dry Chicken Formula Contains:
3.35 mg per 1000 kcal (as formulated)

I have updated our recent blog to reflect the information above.

If your dog has seizures or an Epilepsy diagnosis, they can benefit from a ketogenic diet 👇

A ketogenic diet, which is characterized by a high ratio of fat compared with protein and carbohydrates, has been used in human epilepsy since the early 1920s.

Epilepsy affects an estimated 0.6% to 0.75% of dogs, making it one of the most common canine neurological disorders.

Today, we know it is possible to reduce and even stop seizures in dogs by applying this diet 🐾

Every dog owner must know what to do if a dog has been exposed to a toxin or poison.

🙏🏼 The most important thing is to act quickly and take your dog to the nearest vet clinic.

The vet may be able to deduce what toxin was ingested based on the physical exam and lab findings. If you or another family member has time to investigate, try to figure out if it was eaten, inhaled, or a contact exposure.

👉 Was it a poisonous plant? Could it have been a harmful food? Did your dog come into contact with another animal, such as a toad? Was it a toxic chemical or a human medication?

All the info you can provide is extremely valuable! And remember: Prevention is the best thing you can do to protect your dog.
