WHY MICROGREENS

Why Microgreens?

Up to 40X More Nutrition Than Regular Vegetables

Microgreens are nutritional powerhouses harvested at peak nutrient density - just 7-14 days after germination. Research from the USDA shows microgreens contain up to 40 times higher levels of vital nutrients compared to their mature vegetable counterparts. Red cabbage microgreens have 40x more Vitamin E, cilantro microgreens have 3x more beta-carotene, and radish microgreens contain 6x more Vitamin C than mature plants. These concentrated levels of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients provide superior immune support, cellular protection, and disease-fighting compounds in every meal - giving your dog therapeutic-grade nutrition that no kibble or conventional fresh food can match.

The Microgreens Advantage

Nutrient Density: Microgreens contain up to 40x more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than their mature vegetable counterparts.

Superior Bioavailability: Young plants at peak nutrition - easier for dogs to digest and absorb than mature vegetables.

Immune Support: Concentrated polyphenols, vitamins C, E, and K support immune function and cellular health.

Anti-Inflammatory: Natural compounds reduce
inflammation even in non-therapeutic formulas.

Plus, microgreens are easier to digest than mature vegetables, meaning your dog absorbs MORE of these vital nutrients with less digestive stress critical for dogs with sensitive stomachs or IBD.

THE SUPERIOR NUTRITION PROCESS

Why Freeze-Dried? The Superior Nutrition Process

Freeze-drying preserves nutrients, flavor, and cellular structure far better than dehydration. Most "fresh" dog food brands use dehydration (cheaper, faster) - but you lose half the nutrition. BullyGreen uses pharmaceutical-grade freeze-drying to lock in maximum bioavailability.

The Science: Freeze-Dried vs. Dehydrated
  • Nutrient Retention: Freeze-drying preserves up to 97% of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and probiotics. Dehydration uses heat (145-165°F) which destroys 40-50% of heat-sensitive nutrients like Vitamin C, B vitamins, and beneficial enzymes.
  • Flavor & Palatability: Freeze-drying locks in natural aromas and taste at the cellular level. Dogs can smell and taste the difference - freeze-dried food is significantly more palatable than dehydrated (which can taste bland or "cooked out").
  • Texture & Appearance: Freeze-dried maintains the original structure and color of raw ingredients - rehydrates to look and feel like fresh food. Dehydrated food shrinks, hardens, and often looks brown/gray with a tough, chewy texture.
  • Rehydration Quality: Freeze-dried rehydrates quickly (2-5 minutes) and returns to near-original texture. Dehydrated takes longer (10-15 minutes) and never fully recovers the original moisture distribution - can be mushy or tough.
  • Enzyme & Probiotic Survival: Freeze-drying keeps live enzymes and probiotics intact (critical for digestion and gut health). Heat from dehydration kills most beneficial bacteria and denatures enzymes.
Why It Matters for Your Dog

Maximum bioavailability means your dog absorbs MORE nutrition from every meal. Preserved enzymes aid digestion (especially critical for dogs with IBD or sensitive stomachs). Live probiotics support gut health and immune function. Superior taste means picky eaters actually WANT to eat it. BullyGreen freeze-dried formulas deliver therapeutic-grade nutrition - not just food.

The Bottom Line

Freeze-dried is the gold standard for pet nutrition. Dehydrated food is cheaper to produce, but you pay for degraded nutrients. BullyGreen refuses to compromise - we use freeze-drying exclusively because your dog deserves the best.
WHAT YOU WON'T FIND IN OUR FORMULAS

What We DON'T Use

Commercial Chicken:

  • Genetically modified broilers cause muscle disease, deformities, foot problems, hormone imbalances (hypogonadism, low testosterone, testicular atrophy), liver tumors, heart disease, and obesity. Cheap industrial chicken = chronic health conditions.

Hormone-Injected Beef:

  • Most US beef cattle receive growth hormone implants. Estradiol-17β (commonly used) is a complete carcinogen with tumor-initiating and tumor-promoting effects. - Scientific Committee (SCVMPH)

GMOs & Pesticides:

  • Linked to infertility, immune dysfunction, accelerated aging, insulin problems, organ damage, and GI issues. AAEM confirms causation between GM foods and disease. BullyGreen = 100% organic, pesticide-free, grown on our Bully World Farm.

Animal By-Products & Meal:

  • Rejected for human use: roadkill, dead zoo animals, diseased livestock, euthanized pets (still legally allowed). Stored in hot offal trailers for hours before processing. Never in BullyGreen.

Glyphosate (Weed Killer):

  • Dogs accumulate 30X MORE glyphosate than humans. Causes 70% increased lymphoma risk, disrupts hormones, kills gut bacteria, damages DNA. WHO classified as probable carcinogen. Zero tolerance in BullyGreen.

Raw Meat:

  • Spreads antibiotic-resistant bacteria. 50%+ of samples contain Enterococcus (causes UTIs, meningitis, blood infections). Salmonella transmission risk to pets and humans - even asymptomatic dogs spread pathogens. Freeze-drying eliminates these dangers.
