The Inspiration Behind Visionary Pet

For the past six years, KetoPet has been validating just how powerful ketogenic diets are in positively impacting dog's health. Working with a dedicated team of veterinary oncologists, veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and staff, KetoPet continues to see positive outcomes in the quality of life of the dogs we love.

As their work progressed, the KetoPet staff were faced with a common problem - pet parents that reached out to KetoPet for help were struggling with properly implementing the diet as ketogenic meals can be difficult and time consuming to create. Visionary Keto Pet Foods realized that the only way to solve this problem was to create a convenient ketogenic dog food, based upon the KetoPet recipe, that people could use instead of having to make their own. Visionary Pet quickly got to work, and formulated meals that make it easy for people to feed their dog the ketogenic diet.

So what exactly is a ketogenic diet? 

A ketogenic diet for dogs is a high fat, moderate protein, low net carbohydrate diet that forces the body to burn fats instead of carbohydrates for energy. It’s a diet that’s been used successfully in the past by endurance athletes, epileptics, and those looking to lose weight. This process forces the body to produce ketones. The body only produces ketones when glucose isn’t readily available. Healthy cells in the body are very effective at converting ketones into energy, so the team at KetoPet is working to validate the efficacy of ketogenic diets on dogs. The goal of a ketogenic diet is to induce ketosis. To encourage the body to produce ketones, it’s important to lower blood sugar by minimizing carbohydrate consumption (except for leafy fibrous vegetables), and controlling protein intake.
