Buy Meat for Your Pet from the Human Section — Not the Pet Food Aisle

Oct 20, 2025

Those “meaty” pet foods in the supermarket might look tempting — packed with pictures of juicy beef chunks or tender chicken — but looks can be deceiving.

🛑 The truth? Most pet aisle “meats” are not fresh. They’re pet-grade, refrigerated not frozen, so artificially preserved to look good for months.

What’s Really in That “Pet Meat” Packet

Pet meats sold from the chilled section aren’t frozen for a reason — they rely on artificial preservatives, colours, and fillers to stay shelf-stable and visually appealing.

That means your pet could be eating a mix of:

• Low-quality feed-grade animal parts (sometimes from the “4 D’s”: dead, dying, diseased, or disabled animals)

• Artificial preservatives to stop spoilage

• Colours and flavour enhancers to make it seem fresh

• Fillers that bulk up the product but contribute to skin and gut issues

Would you eat meat that’s been sitting for weeks, chemically treated to look fresh? Neither should your pet.

The Better Choice

Choose human-grade, clean meats — the same kind you’d buy for your own dinner.

• Pick cuts from your local butcher or the human meat section of the supermarket.

• Or go for raw frozen or lightly cooked pet meals made without preservatives or fillers.

Freezing keeps real food fresh naturally — without the chemical cocktail.

Because They Deserve Better

💚 Your pet’s food shouldn’t come from a shelf that needs preservatives to keep it “safe.”
Choose real, nourishing, human-grade meats that support true wellness — not convenience.
