Superfoods aren't just for humans - they can greatly benefit our beloved dogs too! These nutrient-dense foods pack a powerful punch, offering a wide range of health benefits for dogs. Let's explore some of the top superfoods you can incorporate into your dog's diet to enhance their overall well-being.

Top Superfoods for Dogs

Blueberries

Rich in antioxidants, blueberries support your dog's immune system. Antioxidants help protect against free radicals, which are harmful molecules that can damage cells in the body. These tiny berries pack a nutritional punch and make for a delicious, low-calorie treat.

Pumpkin

Pumpkin is a versatile superfood that's great for dogs. It's rich in fibre, supporting digestive health, and loaded with beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, which promotes eye health. 

Marine Microalgae 

Microalgae is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, like DHA, which provide numerous health benefits for dogs. It supports coat health, skin, joints, brain function, and organ health. Marine microalgae has almost twice the amount of DHA as fish oil, and is a sustainable source of DHA that does not deplete or permanently damage any food stock resources.

Sweet Potatoes

Similar to pumpkin, these orange tubers are packed with fibre, beta-carotene, potassium, and other essential nutrients. Sweet potatoes support digestive health, eye health, and overall nutrition in dogs.

Flaxseed

Rich in omega-3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid, protein and fibre, along with some essential vitamins and minerals. Omega 3s help reduce inflammation and skin and coat health.

Insect Protein

Black soldier fly larvae are packed with protein, prebiotic fibre, essential omega 6 fatty acid, linoleic acid, and calcium. It helps keep muscles strong with all the essential amino acids dogs need, and helps support a healthy gut from chitin, which acts as prebiotic fibre in the gut. 

By incorporating these nutrient-rich superfoods into your dog's diet, you can help support their overall health, potentially increase their longevity, and ensure they lead a happy, vibrant life. Lucky for you,  these superfoods are featured in our Daily Nutrient-Rich Recipe for adult dogs as well as our nutrient-rich treats.
