A NOTE ABOUT SUPPLEMENTS

When cooking your dog’s food at home it is always important that you include a nutritionally sound supplement in their diet.

To enjoy good health, dogs require a high level of quality protein in their diet, along with a balanced level of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and animo acids.

Back in the day, this meant trawling stores for bone meal, flaxseed oil, green lipped mussel and other hard to find ingredients. Luckily nowadays a number of dog food supplements do all the hard work for you.

One of our favourite brands include:

Wellbeing for Dogs – Wellbeing Essentials Mix

It’s important when cooking your own homemade dog food that you consult with your vet prior to any dietary changes, and include a high quality dog food supplement. Bon Appétit!
