We've seen a huge rise in raw feeding, and receive lots of queries about which supplements are best to support raw diets for dogs, so here are some of our top picks…
A raw diet is a great way to feed your dog as nature intended, but it can sometimes be a worry that they aren’t getting all the vitamins and minerals they need, especially if you’re preparing them at home. Luckily, we have some great, all natural, all-rounder supplements that can help ensure you’ve got them covered.
Keeper's Mix
Our Keeper’s Mix® is a firm favourite - perfect for everyday supplementation, with a blend of eight herbs. Naturally high in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, fibres and bioactive compounds, it provides the ideal balance of nutrients to help keep your dog in top condition. Keeper’s Mix® promotes all-round health, supporting vital organs and maintaining natural balance in your pet’s body, as well as encouraging a thick and healthy coat. Ideal for all dogs as an all-round boost or to provide extra nutritional support for working dogs, animals performing at high levels or those experiencing physical demands.
For those dogs that are a little more delicate, we also have Keeper’s Mix® Sensitive, which still provides the all-round benefits but with an even gentler formulation. Especially developed using a blend of seven herbs - five from the original formula and two new additions. German chamomile is well known for its calming and balancing properties and Marshmallow root is traditionally used for its soothing effect on the gut, making this mix perfect for immature guts or pets
that are prone to gut upsets. A milder flavour means that even sensitive palates are catered for!
Easy Green®
For all the benefits of eating a bowl of greens, without a spinach leaf in sight, look no further than our Easy Green® powder. It provides a nutritional super-boost, packed full of digestible nutrients that are easy to absorb - especially important as vegetables are notoriously difficult for our pets to digest. The quick air-drying process retains maximum nutrients in a digestible form to naturally boost levels of iron, Vitamin C, chlorophyll, calcium, magnesium and anti-oxidants (to neutralise free radicals) for all round health. For pets with hot, itchy skin, Easy-Green® also has cooling properties for fast relief.
Omega Star®
Finally, Omega Star® is an excellent way to obtain perfectly balanced omegas 3 & 6. Containing a naturally balanced blend of omega oils and Vitamin E, it nourishes and soothes the skin while supporting
quality coat growth and shine. Flax seed oil, blackcurrant seed oil and borage seed oil are all rich in omega 3 and 6 oils, which are important in regulating skin renewal, reducing scurfiness, soothing sensitive skin and improving coat condition. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant (neutralises free radicals), perfect for maintaining the skin’s natural defences.
