As pet parents, we want nothing but the best for our furry companions, be it comfort, playtime, or nutrition. And when it comes to what they eat, the conversation is evolving. Gone are the days when dry kibble or canned meals were the only go-to. Today, fresh food for pets is emerging not just as a trend but as a necessity, and for all the right reasons. Read more to find out why fresh food can be a game changer for your pet.
The Need of the Hour: Rethinking Pet Nutrition
In the past decade, pets have moved from backyard dwellers to being integral members of our families. But while our lifestyle shifted, pet diets remained largely unchanged, processed, preservative-heavy, and often low on real nourishment. Many common pet issues like dull coat, digestive troubles, obesity, and allergies have one thing in common: poor diet.
That’s where fresh food comes in. Just as we’ve grown more conscious about what we eat, favoring whole, clean ingredients, our pets deserve the same level of care and quality. Feeding your dog or cat real, minimally processed food made from natural ingredients is a powerful step toward ensuring long-term health, vitality, and happiness.
What Makes Fresh Food a Game Changer?
Fresh food isn’t just “homemade” or “natural”, it’s nutrition redefined. Here's why it’s making all the difference:
1. Improved Digestibility
Fresh ingredients are easier on your pet’s stomach. No fillers. No hard-to-digest by-products. Just real meat, veggies, and grains that promote smoother digestion and firmer stools.
2. Healthier Skin and Shinier Coat
A balanced fresh diet rich in omega fatty acids and natural nutrients leads to visible improvements in skin health and coat texture.
3. Boosted Immunity
Fresh food is packed with essential vitamins and antioxidants that support your pet’s immune system, keeping them protected from seasonal infections and chronic conditions.
4. Better Energy and Mood
When your pet eats better, they feel better. Fresh food fuels their bodies the right way, enhancing energy levels and even mood stability.
5. Weight Management
Unlike processed food filled with empty calories, fresh meals are portioned and balanced, helping maintain a healthy weight, especially crucial for indoor and aging pets.
Introducing Applod Fresh Food - Honest, Wholesome, and Ready to Serve
Say hello to Applod Fresh Food, the latest addition to Zigly’s thoughtfully curated fresh food selection. Developed with equal parts science and heart, Applod Fresh Food is crafted to offer your pet not just a meal, but a moment of nourishment, joy, and connection.

What Makes Applod Fresh Food Stand Out?
1. Rich in Protein for Growing Muscles
Puppies go through an intense phase of growth and development, and protein is the cornerstone of that journey. Applod Chicken Mash is made with real chicken, a high-quality protein source that supports the healthy development of muscles, bones, and tissues. It gives your pup the strength and stamina they need to play, explore, and thrive during these formative months.
2. Natural Anti-Inflammatory Support
What sets this fresh food apart is the inclusion of functional ingredients like turmeric and ashwagandha. Turmeric, a powerful natural anti-inflammatory, helps ease joint discomfort and supports overall wellness, especially beneficial for active and large-breed puppies. Ashwagandha, an adaptogen, supports immunity and stress resilience, creating a strong foundation for lifelong health.
3. Supports Joints, Skin, and Coat Health
Growing puppies often face challenges like joint stiffness or skin sensitivities. That’s why Applod Chicken Mash is fortified with collagen and chondroitin, two essential compounds that promote joint mobility, strong cartilage, and elasticity in the skin. Meanwhile, the inclusion of coconut oil provides healthy fats that contribute to a glossy coat and nourished skin—because looking good is part of feeling good, too!
4. 100% Clean Label – No Preservatives, Fillers, or Nonsense
Many commercial puppy foods are packed with artificial additives, meat by-products, and preservatives that do more harm than good. Applod Chicken Mash is proudly free from preservatives, fillers, and synthetic ingredients. It’s a clean-label meal—what you see on the ingredients list is exactly what you get. Just real food, gently cooked and ready to serve, providing honest, transparent nutrition in every bite.
Transitioning to Fresh Food: A Gentle Approach
Switching to fresh food should be a gradual process. Start by mixing small portions of fresh food with your pet’s current diet and slowly increase the ratio over 7–10 days. Observe how your pet responds, most will take to it with tail-wagging enthusiasm!
Also, remember: portion control is key. While fresh food is healthy, overfeeding can still lead to weight gain. Always refer to the feeding guidelines or consult a vet.
Conclusion
Whether you're new to the idea of fresh feeding or looking to give your pet an upgrade from boring kibble, Applod Fresh Food makes it easy and rewarding. Thoughtfully prepared, nutritionally balanced, and absolutely delicious, every bite is a step toward better health and happiness for your four-legged companion.
