Bones & Co Keto-Approved Raw Frozen Meat Cube 18LB

2:1 K.E.T.O. cube
Bones & Co. 2:1 fat to protein ratio therapeutic recipe has even more healthy fats to promote Ketosis, a natural metabolic state in dogs. We doubled the healthy fats in our original 1:1 fat to protein ratio recipe to create our innovative 2:1 (fat:protein) formula for dogs with higher fat needs.

Why?
Because… dogs are broken. 
We see an alarming rise of metabolic disease in dogs, so we’re doing something about it. Our mission is to support pet parents, independent pet retailers, and holistic practitioners who refuse to simply accept the prevalence of metabolic diseases — like cancer, obesity, diabetes and epilepsy — in our pets.

We formulated this recipe with your dog’s metabolism in mind. Dogs consuming a low-fat raw diet, or kibble, have one thing in common: their body will enter glycolysis  (i.e. metabolic state relying on carbs for fuel triggering an insulin response). This is why we advocate for fat-forward, moderate protein and very low carb diets for dogs — Mother Nature calls this KETO!  

HOW it works
Advocates of fat for fuel, we flipped the old school food pyramid upside down for a metabolically appropriate approach to how we feed our dogs. It’s common knowledge that other pet foods are packed with carbs. Carbohydrate forward diets can lead to blood sugar instability, insulin spikes, inflammation and ultimately - fuel the diseases that plague our pets. 

Not convinced? 

Let’s go back in time. In the early 1900’s, it was found that cancer cells feed primarily off of glucose (aka carbs). Carbohydrates literally fuel cancer cells. We must stop feeding dogs inflammatory carbohydrates, and instead, promote fat as a primary fuel. 

Net: a fat forward K.E.T.O diet can shift the metabolism away from using harmful carbs as fuel, and towards healthy fats. This promotes the most natural metabolic state, known as Ketosis.

HOW IT DIFFERS
With rising disease rates, there’s a rising need for natural therapeutic tools. While we know that carbohydrate filled foods can worsen disease states, sadly, pet parents were left with very few healthful options - until now. 

Our original recipe features a 1:1 (fat:protein) ratio, formulated for all life stages and ideal for a maintenance, every day diet. 

For dogs with higher fat needs, we doubled the healthy fats in our K.E.T.O Cube, with our innovative 2:1 (fat:protein) formula, to promote a deeper state of ketosis.
