OMEGA 3 OIL: This remarkable supplement is your ally in the fight against inflammation, offering a host of benefits, especially for your dog's skin and coat. With its vital role in maintaining cell membrane fluidity, promoting circulation, enhancing skin health, and supporting immune system function, OMEGA 3 OIL is a game-changer. Experience its potent anti-inflammatory properties that aid in managing various inflammatory and degenerative conditions. Specifically tailored for dogs, it proves particularly beneficial for chronic kidney disease, arthritis, feline asthma, dermatitis, and cancer. Give your dog the gift of optimal health with OMEGA 3 OIL and watch their vitality shine through their vibrant skin and lustrous coat.
MILK THISTLE: Nurture your dog's liver health with the natural power of MILK THISTLE. This extensively researched herbal supplement is proven to be safe and effective in addressing a variety of liver diseases and supporting overall well-being. Milk thistle acts as a guardian for the liver, shielding it from toxins, including certain medications and heavy metals. It goes beyond protection by activating protein synthesis and promoting the growth of new liver cells, facilitating the repair and regeneration process. With its potent antioxidant properties, milk thistle combats harmful oxygen free radicals, while its anti-inflammatory actions further contribute to a healthy liver. Give your dog the gift of a thriving liver with MILK THISTLE and ensure their vitality from the inside out.
CALCIUM: Nourish your dog's bones and overall health with essential calcium supplementation. When feeding a home-cooked diet, it's crucial to provide the necessary calcium since cooked bones are unsafe for consumption. To ensure a balanced calcium intake, add this vital nutrient based on the amount of food served, rather than your dog's body weight. Approximately 900 mg of calcium is needed for every 500g of food, equivalent to about 2 cups. Opt for calcium carbonate or calcium citrate with vitamin D3 as reliable and cost-effective supplements, readily available at supermarkets or pharmacies. Another natural source of calcium is ground eggshells, easily prepared by grinding them with a coffee bean grinder. Just half a teaspoon of crushed eggshells provides around 900 mg of calcium.
Remember, VITAMIN D plays a crucial role in calcium absorption, making it essential for your dog's well-being. Ensure the vitamin D supplement you choose is animal-sourced, as dogs cannot efficiently utilize plant-based sources of vitamin D.
Introducing your best friend to The Good Dog Co.
When it comes to nourishing your furry friend with Good Dog Co. meals, we have some recommendations to ensure a smooth transition:
- Gradual Introduction: Introduce the new food gradually over 2-3 days. Start by replacing a quarter of their existing food with Good Dog Co.
- Incremental Increase: After the initial transition period, replace half of their existing food with Good Dog Co.
- Pair with High-Quality Pellets: For added balance, you can continue to supplement Good Dog Co. with a high-quality dog food pellet like Hills, which complements our meals.
Here are some additional suggestions to enhance your dog's mealtime experience:
- Irresistible Gravy: Add approximately 150ml of warm water to the Good Dog Co. meal, creating a delicious gravy that will make the meal even more enjoyable for your furry friend.
- Special Treat: As an occasional treat, crack a raw egg over the Good Dog Co. meal once or twice a month. Your dog will love this extra special indulgence!
- Calcium Boost: Grind up spare eggshells and sprinkle them into their meals to provide an additional source of calcium for their overall health.
- Omega Oils: Consider incorporating omega oil supplements or feeding a small amount of pilchard (in tomato sauce, after washing off the sauce) once a week. These oils are beneficial for joint health, brain development, and promoting a healthy coat. Avoid feeding tuna due to its higher mercury content.
At Good Dog Co. we prioritise the well-being and satisfaction of your beloved pet, and these recommendations can help enhance their dining experience and overall nutrition.
*Before making any changes to your dog's diet, it is important to consult with your veterinarian for professional guidance and advice.
*Please note that our kitchen is closed over the festive period. We will open again 8 January 2024. See you then!
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Absolutely! Did you know that the majority of commercial dog foods contain wheat as a filler? Unfortunately, dogs are often intolerant to wheat, which can lead to allergies and digestive issues. That's why it's important to choose a dog food that is free from wheat and filled with wholesome, nutritious ingredients that your furry friend will love.
Yes! Our meals are suitable for dogs of all ages, including puppies. When feeding puppies, we recommend adding 5-10 puppy pellets to the meal to provide an extra source of calcium, which is crucial for developing strong bones.
Another great option is to include a few crushed eggshells, as they are an excellent natural source of calcium. With our meals, you can ensure that your young furry companion receives the essential nutrients they need for healthy growth and development.
No, not at all! Our meals are incredibly convenient to use. Simply defrost and feed to your furry friend. For an extra touch, we recommend adding approximately 100ml of boiling water to the meal. This creates a delicious gravy that adds a little extra treat to your dog's dining experience. Not only does it enhance the flavour, but it also ensures they stay hydrated throughout the day. With our meals, you can provide a tasty and satisfying meal for your best friend without any hassle.
Our commitment to quality extends to every ingredient we use in our meals, including the addition of human-grade Turmeric and Cinnamon. These carefully selected ingredients offer a range of benefits for your dog's health and well-being.
Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, helping to alleviate discomfort and promote joint health.
Cinnamon, on the other hand, aids in arthritis relief and supports weight management, ensuring your dog maintains a healthy weight.
With our meals, you can provide your canine companion with the goodness of these natural ingredients, helping them thrive and live their best life.
Once defrosted, our canine meals can be safely stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This allows for convenient meal planning and ensures that your dog can enjoy fresh, nutritious food throughout the week. We recommend storing the meals in a sealed container to maintain freshness and prevent any potential cross-contamination.
To make it easier for you, we have created a simple and informative diagram to guide you on the appropriate portion sizes for your beloved furry friend. This visual representation provides clear instructions on how much food your dog should be consuming, based on their weight and activity level. By following this handy guide, you can ensure that your pet receives the right amount of nourishment to support their overall health and well-being. Take the guesswork out of mealtime and rely on our helpful diagram to keep your best friend happy and satisfied.
