In nature, the ancestors of cats and dogs never needed food containing large amounts of carbohydrates (starches). The nutritional standards for dogs and cats set by the United States AAFCO do not stipulate that carbohydrates are a necessary nutrient. Moreover, dogs and cats do not have salivary amylase and are not suitable for eating foods containing a lot of starch. Therefore, when the food contains a lot of carbohydrates, they must rely on the pancreas and small intestine to secrete a large amount of amylase, which also increases the burden on the pancreas and increases the possibility of diabetes.

The "complete prey" concept of Crave reflects millions of years of evolution of dogs and cats, combining fresh meat, offal and cartilage to obtain the nutrients they need from nature. Following this philosophy and insisting on using healthy poultry meat from wild grazing or fish caught in the natural sea, we can reduce the problems of infectious diseases and antibiotic stockpiling caused by large-scale animal husbandry and fisheries. We desire and encourage animals to obtain the nutrients they need through their natural physiological instincts, while minimizing the need to add vitamin or mineral supplements other than fresh food.

Natural and complete nutrition can best meet the natural eating habits of dogs and cats, and is guaranteed to be easily digested and absorbed. Desire is the object of imitation for many other brands, but through continuous improvement and self-transcendence, Desire has been leading the market since its inception. How can you, a smart person, not know how to choose?

We are eager to use unprocessed fresh meat and overcome the difficulties of making dry food from fresh meat. No drop of water is added during the whole process and it is made at a low temperature of 90°C, thus retaining the most precious nutrients in fresh ingredients. Provide the high-quality diet that dogs and cats need. Usually: 90°C temperature-controlled sterilization method can preserve the flavor and nutrition of food. The so-called low-temperature sterilization is below 65°C, which is also commonly heard as pasteurization. However, nutrient loss is more common during ultra-high temperature sterilization at 135°C. Crave dry food is baked at 90°C for more than 30 minutes and the moisture content is reduced to less than 10%, which meets normal sterilization standards.
