Most kibble is feed grade and made at high heat. Soluky is made from fresh, human-grade ingredients, gently cooked at low temperatures and frozen, with no added preservatives or fillers. Our meals are complete and balanced, so they replace kibble rather than sit on top of it.
Side by side
| Typical kibble | Soluky fresh meals | |
|---|---|---|
| Grade | Feed grade | Food grade, human-grade ingredients, mostly sourced locally |
| Ingredients | May include meat meal, by-products and fillers | Real meat and organs, vegetables, no meat meal, by-products or fillers |
| Real meat | Varies, often a smaller share | 56% to 66% for dogs, up to 85% for cats |
| Cooking | High heat, ultra-processed | Gently cooked, low and slow, then frozen |
| Moisture | Dry | Around two-thirds moisture |
| Preservatives | Often added | None added: freezing keeps it fresh |
| Carbohydrates | Often more than a dog or cat needs | Gentle sources: white rice, sweet potato or tapioca |
What owners often notice
Every pet is different. One change many owners notice is smaller, firmer stools, which are common on fresh food. See smaller poops and what to expect in weeks 1 to 4.
Switching from kibble
Switch gradually: dogs over 7 days, cats over 14 days, and picky or sensitive pets over 21 days. Follow switching your dog or switching your cat.
Want to keep some kibble in the bowl? You can. See mixing Soluky with other food.
What about the cost?
Fresh food costs more per bag than kibble, but you only feed what your pet needs, calculated to the gram. See how much Soluky costs for real examples.
Why we cook gently instead of serving raw: why cooked and frozen.
