Fresh Food for Bichon Frises
The playful, affectionate, fluffy Bichon Frise has a colorful history; over the centuries, the breed has spent time in European royal courts, accompanying sailors on the high seas, and performing in circuses. These days, they’re mainly pets—and the intelligence and charisma that helped them succeed in the aforementioned environments have made them welcome in homes around the world. Be ready to brush their coats every day and keep their minds active with regular training.
A healthy diet of fresh dog food for your Bichon Frise is the best way to support their health and happiness—along with daily exercise, regular vet care, and a welcoming lap to sit in.
What’s the best dog food for bichon frises?
A diet of fresh dog food for your Bichon Frise contributes to a healthy, active life, and could help stave off some of the ailments common to this breed.
Why fresh is best for your Bichon Frises
Highly processed kibble can contribute to many issues that can compromise your Bichon Frises’s health. Recipes from The Farmer’s Dog are made with fresh, human-grade ingredients, steamed to retain nutrients, and pre-portioned to help maintain weight.
Feed Fresh TodayKnow what’s in the bowl
For Bichon Frises with dry and itchy skin, sensitive stomachs, or other signs of food allergies and sensitivities, it’s important to know exactly what you’re feeding—something that can be impossible with kibble, which often contains ingredients not listed on the bag. Allergies and intolerances to food are all too common, and many dog owners notice symptoms clear up when they switch to fresh food.
Protect joints
Bichon Frises are prone to joint issues. Maintaining a lean body condition can help. And fresh food from The Farmer’s Dog contains Omega-3 fatty acids, proven to reduce inflammation and improve arthritis. Even if kibble contains these healthy fats, they can go rancid sitting on the shelf for long periods. Rancid fats don’t deliver the intended health benefits, and in fact can contribute to inflammation. Fresh food delivers these powerful nutrients intact.
Promote better digestion (and poops)
A fresh diet provides human-grade, highly digestible protein, which contributes to many facets of your Bichon Frise’s health. It supports optimal muscle growth and maintenance and a strong heart. Another hallmark of a digestible diet is what we call “high quality poops.” Research shows that a digestible, bioavailable diet affects the quality and quantity of your dog’s poop—making it less voluminous, and less stinky, than their poop on a kibble diet!
Maintain a healthy weight
It’s critically important to avoid overfeeding any dog, big or small. Being even a little overweight can increase your Bichon Frise’s odds of developing a host of diseases like arthritis, diabetes, and even cancer. A fresh-food plan tailored to your dog’s needs, and delivered in pre-portioned packs, makes weight maintenance easy.
