Gently Cooked Dog Food Toppers

“Gently cooked” is a phrase you might have seen crop up recently in descriptions of dog food, or its fancier counterpart, “sous vide.” 

At Portland Pet Food Company, we’ve always been gently cooking our dog food toppers…and for good reason.

What Is Gently Cooked Dog Food



How Do We Cook Our Meals?

Our cooking process today reflects the way we started in 2014, when founder Katie McCarron was developing a food to give to her senior dog. We start the gentle cooking process in a kettle, then add the ingredients to our retort pouches. The dog food toppers are then heated again to finish the cooking, and are hermetically sealed to allow our meals to be shelf-stable.

Benefits of Gentle Cooking

The primary benefit of gentle cooking is that it helps retain more of the healthy proteins, minerals, and natural nutrients that are found in the whole food ingredients we use. This means that we don’t need to add vitamin packs or synthetic supplements. As a result, our dog food toppers are more digestible (which makes them great for dogs with sensitive stomachs and senior dogs). The gently cooked food can also help produce more regular bowel movements for your dog (and firmer stools), and it can help with weight control (because there aren’t added fillers or carbs). If you’re accustomed to feeding your dog a raw diet, our gently cooked dog food toppers can also stand in as a convenient alternative when you’re traveling.
