Healthy Alternative

It might be posh to buy your dog his own tubs of food from your beloved supermarket, but the ingredients need to be read carefully, as even the best looking tubs are filled with fillers and nasty preservatives. Anything that stands on a shelf contains preservatives and chemicals to keep the product from going rancid. These ingredients can cause skin irritation, itchiness and hot spots, sore tummies and bad breath. Not to mention the long term effects such as irregular bowel movements, tumors, depression or liver problems. 

Grains and wheat in its most natural form is needed to keep your dog’s heart muscles healthy. Grains provide protein and fatty acids, which are important for cognition, heart health, and immune functioning, along with promoting healthy skin and fur. Processed and dry foods are packed with synthetic carbohydrates and highly processed grains, which can make loosing weight nearly impossible. The most natural source of carbohydrates for your dog is sweet potatoes, bulgur wheat and starchy vegetables. Processed grain allergies show up with symptoms such as itchy skin, dry/ flaky skin, hair loss, bumps/rash, chronic ear infections, obsessive licking/chewing of feet, inflamed, red paw pads and gastrointestinal upset. 

We liaise with an animal nutritionist and vet and have registered our food with DAFF. We are awaiting our final documentation so that we can update our labels. Our food have been through extensive lab tests to ensure that they are balanced and complete, without the addition of harmful chemicals, additives or supplements. Only good, pure ingredients of the best quality. Pure ingredients of a high quality in a balanced formula (according to AAFCO standards) does not need to be supplemented in any way. 

We are also able to grind any of the meals for your old dog or puppy to a finer consistency at no additional cost. Just make a note on your order or send us a message.
