This month, we're banishing the winter blues and saying hello to January joy by feeding a natural, raw diet that makes pups feel good from the inside out.
Great nutrition = great mood.
Your pup's body and mind go paw-in-paw. Just like with us, what we feed our dogs greatly impacts how they feel physically and mentally.
Not only does a natural, raw diet excite your dog's taste buds and nurtures their physical health, but it also supports mental well-being, balances mood, and promotes positive behavior for a healthier and happier pup.
It all starts in the gut.
A natural, raw diet helps fuel the body and is essential for a healthy digestive system and gut health. The gut, often known as the 'second brain,' is filled with good bacteria, hormones, and beneficial chemicals that influence the production of ' feel good' and mood-regulating neurotransmitters, which affect our pup's mood and behavior. Maintaining a diverse and healthy gut microbiome and good digestive health is the foundation for your pup's overall well-being.
The meals they were made to eat.
Research has shown that an ultra-processed, carbohydrate-heavy diet filled with artificial preservatives can not only cause health issues and nutritional deficiencies but can also be linked to behavioral issues such as nervousness or hyperactivity.
Your pup was designed to eat a biologically appropriate raw diet of good-quality proteins, bones, organs, and a balance of fresh fruit and vegetables. This diet provides your pup with all the vitamins and minerals needed to thrive, supports gut health, and keeps them feeling healthy and content.
How a raw diet can boost your pup's mood:
- It reduces Inflammation and discomfort, helping your pup feel more comfortable.
- It increases energy, which means better focus, concentration and memory, which leads to better trainability.
- Chewing on raw, meaty bones releases stress-relieving endorphins and can help pups feel more calm and more relaxed.
- It supports a strong immune system to fight infections and illness for a healthier and happier dog.
- A high-protein diet is easier to digest, less likely to leave them feeling sluggish or irritable, and helps them absorb nutrients more effectively.
- Amino acids found in high-quality poultry proteins such as chicken and turkey help boost serotonin development for good mood and positive behavior.
- A balanced, raw diet helps stabilise blood sugar levels, reducing hyperactivity and anxiety.
- Rotating proteins and providing a varied diet can beat mealtime boredom and provide mental stimulation.
- Vitamin, mineral, and essential fatty acid deficiencies can contribute to behavioural and cognitive issues. A balanced, complete, raw diet meets all your pup's nutritional needs.
A healthy pup is a happy pup.
A balanced, raw diet promotes a long, healthy and happy life for your pup. From combating allergies to tackling tummy troubles, improving mood, and boosting skin and coat condition, the benefits of a raw diet are endless. You will see the results, and your pup will feel them, too.
