Weāre not here to follow industry norms. Weāre here to rewrite them.
At Sanctum Paws & Fangsā¢, we believe pet food should nourish, not compromise. Thatās why you wonāt find traditional kibble anywhere in our store ā not for cats, not for dogs, not even in disguise. Because behind the convenience of dry food lies a truth the pet industry doesnāt want you to know.
š„ The Hidden Costs of Kibble
Kibble is marketed as balanced, affordable, and complete. But hereās what they donāt tell you:
- Itās cooked at extreme temperatures that destroy nutrients and create carcinogens like acrylamide
- Itās packed with starches ā often 40ā60% ā to hold its shape, even though cats and dogs donāt need carbs
- Itās dry by design, contributing to chronic dehydration, kidney disease, and urinary issues
- Itās full of fillers like corn, wheat, soy, peas, lentils, and potatoes ā biologically inappropriate and inflammatory
- Itās masked with vague ānatural flavorā that can hide hydrolyzed proteins or MSG-like additives
- Itās vulnerable to contamination ā mycotoxins, heavy metals, and storage mites are real risks
Even āpremiumā kibble often hides behind clever marketing while perpetuating the same structural problems.
š§ What We Choose Instead
We donāt reject kibble to be trendy. We reject it because thereās a better way.
At SPF, we curate:
- Air-dried and freeze-dried raw foods that preserve nutrients and mimic ancestral diets
- Wet foods with bone broth and organ blends that hydrate and heal
- Single-ingredient treats and functional toppers that support immunity, digestion, and skin health
- No grains, no legumes, no synthetic preservatives ā ever
Every product we carry is vetted for species-appropriateness, ingredient integrity, and ethical sourcing. If it doesnāt meet our standards, it doesnāt make the cut.
š”ļø Our Nutritional Standards
We believe in:
- Transparency over trends
- Hydration over convenience
- Function over filler
- Truth over marketing
We donāt carry kibble unless itās air-dried or freeze-dried with limited ingredients ā and even then, itās curated with caution.
š¾ Empowering Guardians
Weāre not here to shame anyone. Weāre here to educate, elevate, and empower.
If youāve fed kibble in the past, youāre not alone ā weāve all been there. But once you know better, you can do better. And weāre here to help you every step of the way.
