Here at Ziggy's Pet Supplies in Forest Row, we believe that feeding our pets naturally is fundamental to their health and happiness. That's why we champion brands that share our holistic ethos and commitment to pure, quality ingredients. We're thrilled to introduce Naked Dog – a brand whose philosophy is simple: "Let's get NAKED! It's only natural."
If you're seeking a high-quality, complete raw diet for your dog, free from artificial additives and packed with goodness, Naked Dog is a fantastic choice available right here in East Sussex.
The Naked Dog Philosophy: Laid Bare
Naked Dog is a family-run, independent business built by dog owners who believe that what we feed our dogs is just as crucial as what we feed ourselves. Their approach is refreshingly straightforward:
- Only Natural Ingredients: They source the highest quality human-grade ingredients – meat, fruit, vegetables, herbs, spices, and oils. That’s it.
- Naturally Balanced & Complete: Their recipes are carefully curated to be complete and balanced using only these natural components. Crucially, they contain no artificial pre-mixes often found in other pet foods.
- Ethical & Family-Focused: They believe in doing the right thing by their suppliers, customers, staff, and, of course, the dogs they nourish.
This transparent, natural-first approach aligns perfectly with the holistic values we uphold at Ziggy's.
Embracing Raw: The BARF Connection
Naked Dog follows the principles of BARF – Biologically Appropriate Raw Food – a concept popularised by veterinarian Dr. Ian Billinghurst. The idea is simple: dogs thrive when fed a diet similar to what they would naturally eat in the wild – fresh, real, raw food. Naked Dog makes embracing this species-appropriate way of feeding simple and safe.
What's Inside (and What Isn't): The Naked Truth
Naked Dog prides itself on quality and minimal processing:
- 100% Human-Grade: Reassurance about the quality of the ingredients going into your dog's bowl.
- No Artificial Pre-mixes: Unlike many processed foods, all nutrients come directly from the whole food ingredients.
- Minimally Processed: Ingredients are simply mixed, packed into convenient, recyclable tubs, and frozen. This preserves the natural nutrients and maximizes bioavailability, meaning your dog gets the most out of every meal.
- Frozen Freshness: Freezing keeps the food safe and as fresh and nutritious as possible until mealtime.
