As a result of the increased humanisation of pets [1], the pet dietary supplement industry is booming and is set to reach $100 million by 2024 [2], but natural supplement company, Field Day, is educating Australians on the dog superfood trends to listen to and the ones better off ignored.
Fur parents everywhere do their best to try and understand what their dog might be feeling or thinking, but without any means of verbal communication and lots of different advice out there, it’s no wonder many feel confused about their pet’s needs.
“Whether you provide your dog with dry biscuits, wet food or make it yourself at home, meal toppers or supplements and the superfoods found in them, can assist in keeping your furry friend’s health and wellbeing needs in pawfect shape,” Emily says.
“Supplements are also a great choice for dogs with specific health issues, such as anxiety, arthritis, gut issues or skin problems.”
“For example, Green Lipped Mussels aren’t found in regular dog food but they are full of Omega-3 fatty acids. When taken as part of a healthy, balanced diet, they can help support joint health and mobility by reducing cartilage degradation and inflammation.”
Emily adds that anxiety is something that many dogs struggle with and there has been an increase in the number of pets experiencing anxiety as a result of the pandemic.
“In addition to picking up our emotions, our pets aren’t used to having us home all the time and any change in routine can make them feel stressed or anxious.”“A lot of families also purchased puppies for the first time during the last 18 months, so we’ve seen a rise in pets suffering from separation anxiety as well.”
It may come as no surprise then that St John’s Wort, a superfood that humans have used to assist in boosting mood for centuries, is beneficial for our furry friends too.
“St John’s Wort is often used as a natural ingredient in human anti-anxiety medication, which is why the team at Field Day included the ingredient, along with hemp protein and salmon, in its Cool, Calm & Collected meal topper.”
“Grain-free diets are a big no-no from me and I think most of the veterinary world at the moment. There is strong evidence that grain-free diets can lead to cardiac issues in dogs and something called dilated cardiomyopathy, which can be fatal,” Emily says.
“Currently, there is research going on but the evidence is so strong, so until more is known I would avoid it.
Dogs do eat grains in the wild and anyone with a dog will see in springtime that they love eating the new grass, which doesn’t mean they’re sick but it is a tasty and natural way for them to get fibre.”
With products made from human-grade natural, real whole foods, Field Day takes a stance against preservatives, additives, GMO ingredients and harsh chemicals that can often find their way into pet care products.
