We're thrilled to introduce our latest offering: Lamb & Ancient Grains with Superfood Extras. This recipe is packed with high-quality, locally sourced ingredients, offering an excellent balance of protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients. 

The Benefits of Lamb in Your Dog's Diet

Lamb is a fantastic source of high-quality protein, essential for maintaining strong muscles and overall health. It's particularly beneficial for dogs with food sensitivities, as it's often a novel protein source compared to more common meats like chicken or beef. Lamb also provides a dense source of protein and essential amino acids. This high protein content supports muscle development and repair, keeping your dog active and healthy.

Understanding Ancient Grains and Their Health Benefits

Ancient grains are nutrient-dense grains that have been minimally altered by selective breeding over the centuries. They are rich in essential nutrients and provide a balanced source of carbohydrates, fibre, vitamins, and minerals. In our Lamb & Ancient Grains recipe, we've included:

• Rye: A good source of fibre and minerals like magnesium and phosphorus, which are essential for metabolic processes and bone health.
• Brown Rice: This whole grain is gentle on the digestive system and provides energy, vitamins, and minerals.
• Oats: Known for their high fibre content, oats aid in digestion and provide a steady release of energy, keeping your dog feeling full and satisfied.
  
  

Superfoods and Other Key Ingredients

Our Lamb & Ancient Grains formula includes a variety of superfoods and beneficial ingredients, each chosen for its specific health benefits:

• Chicory : A natural prebiotic that promotes healthy digestion by supporting beneficial gut bacteria.
• Ascophyllum nodosum: A type of kelp has been shown to support dental health in dogs by reducing plaque and tartar build-up, promoting fresher breath, and maintaining healthier gums.
• Fish Oil: Packed with omega-3 fatty acids, supporting joint health, skin, and coat.
• Locally Sourced Veggies - Carrot, Blueberries, Broccoli, Tomato, Spinach: These provide essential vitamins and antioxidants, supporting overall health and immune function.

What are ancient grains, and why are they included in the formula?

Ancient grains are nutrient-rich grains that have been minimally altered by selective breeding. They are included in our formula for their high nutritional value, providing essential vitamins, minerals, and fibre. The ancient grains in our recipe, such as rye whole meal flour, brown rice, and oats, contribute to a balanced diet and aid in digestion.

Does this food contain any common allergens?

While our Lamb & Ancient Grains formula is designed to be gentle on sensitive stomachs, and can be considered hypoallergenic due to its novel protein, some people choose not to feed this recipe due to the inclusion of Chicken Oil. It is important to note though that Chicken Oil does not contain any of the proteins found in the muscle meat which is the cause of chicken reactions. 

Can this dog food help with skin and coat health?

Absolutely. Our formula includes ingredients like flax seed oil and fish oil, which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. These nutrients support healthy skin and a shiny coat, while the inclusion of antioxidants from herbs and superfoods helps to reduce inflammation and promote overall skin health.

Will this recipe be high in fat given it is made from Lamb? 

Our Lamb & Ancient Grains Dog Food contains 12% fat, which is considered still a low-moderate amount (Adult dog food  typically ranges anywhere from 8%-18% Fat). While lamb is naturally rich, we've balanced the fat content with high-quality sources like poultry tallow, flax seed oil, and fish oil. These fats provide essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, supporting skin, coat, and overall health.

How much should I feed my dog?

Feeding amounts will vary based on your dog's age, weight, activity level, and individual needs. We recommend following the feeding guidelines as a starting point and adjusting as necessary. It's always a good idea to consult with your veterinarian to determine the appropriate portion size for your dog.

Is Lamb & Ancient Grains Dog Food grain-free?
