Superfoods! Harnessing nature’s pharmacy.

When it comes to our pet’s health, things have certainly changed since I was taking my dogs to the vet. The medical miracles at the cusp of reality for our pets is revolutionary – with dialysis, heart valve transplants and prosthetic limbs all on the horizon of veterinary medicine.

But does it all have to be stem cells and super science? Absolutely not! There is magic locked away in the most humble of beginnings – food!

In the veterinary world, we are very much using nutrition to treat illness and disease, just as critically as we would use medications. And we’ve been doing this with great success for a long long time.

There are certain carbohydrates, oils or proteins we may seek out to help particular conditions, but here are my top superfoods for dogs and cats!

When it comes to our pets, choosing the right foods can even help to reduce their reliance on medications! Now that’s nothing to be sniffed at! There are so many other pet superfoods – some which pack the punch they promise – others which can’t match the hype.

Are there any foods you’re wondering about? Let us know – we’re always looking to bring you the best original content!
