DCB Holistic | Guard their health

Context and Objective: DCB Holistic was developed to support pet owners feeding raw or fresh diets, a growing segment of pet nutrition. Surveys indicate that raw feeding has increased significantly, with 30–50% of pet owners in some regions experimenting with raw or fresh diets for dogs and cats. However, these diets often carry nutritional imbalances, misinterpreted lab results, and safety risks, which conventional veterinary care may not fully address. The platform’s goal is to provide pet owners with a comprehensive digital solution to optimize diet, monitor health, and access holistic expertise from home.

Pet owners relying on raw/fresh diets face multiple challenges:

Nutritional gaps: Studies show ~60% of homemade raw recipes lack essential nutrients like calcium, phosphorus, or vitamins, risking long-term health issues.

Misinterpreted blood work: Standard veterinary reference ranges are based on kibble-fed pets, often flagging normal markers in raw-fed pets as abnormal.

Symptom-only treatments: Traditional veterinary care often addresses only symptoms (e.g., skin or gut issues) without tackling diet-related root causes.

Limited expert access: Specialists in raw nutrition and Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) are rare and costly.

Safety concerns: Research indicates ~29% of raw pet foods may contain harmful bacteria like Salmonella or E. coli, posing risks to pets and humans.

DCB Holistic offers a unified digital platform for holistic pet health:

Recipe Builder & Formulator: Build raw/fresh food recipes validated against AAFCO/FEDIAF standards, including condition-specific adjustments (e.g., cancer, kidney disease).
