Pawsitively Delicious: Right Nutrition & Super Supplements

There has been a significant increase in pet parents’ awareness regarding the health, well-being, and nutritional requirements of their furry friends. Home-cooked food when prepared correctly offers freshness, quality and variety to relish.

Wholesome and Healthy

Home cooked meal is considered healthy but additional supplements may be required to meet your pet’s specific nutritional requirements. Careful selection of supplements like protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, etc. are vital to bridge the nutritional gaps, ensuring that our furry companions remain healthy, active, and able to express their true breed characteristics.

Fresh from the Kitchen

• Healthy and wholesome food

For your pet, you should strive to give a healthy and balanced meal with all components like protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.

• Improved digestion

Planned meals can ensure the best possible ingredients for optimal digestion. Plan meals to reduce gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea, bloating, constipation, and vomiting.

• Helps overcome selective eating behaviour

Meals can be customized according to your pet’s taste and preferences. This can help picky eaters become adventurous eaters. Besides, adding variety to your pet’s diet can help him stay interested in mealtimes.

• Naturally nutritious and manages weight

Pet parents can offer meals to their pets tailored to their specific needs and energy levels. One can also experiment with different proteins and carbohydrates to find the ideal combination for weight management of their pets.

• Alleviates allergies and skin issues

Allergies are common in pets, and pet parents should be aware that in some cases, a particular ingredient can trigger it and you should consult your vet for a customized diet.

• Love & longevity

Multiple studies have shown the correlation between fresh food and a dog’s longevity. Integrating as little as 20% of fresh food can make a big difference – as little as small pieces of fruit and vegetables each day.

It’s important to note that a dog’s nutritional needs differ from that of a human. It is necessary to plan the meals carefully keeping in regard ingredients and quantities.
