    • OUR APPROACH TO SUPPORTING PETS

    OPTIMISE THE RAW DIET

    To optimize a raw diet for skin health, avoid grains, starches, additives, and preservatives in food, treats, chews, and snacks. Include as much wild prey as possible—such as possum, rabbit, and venison—since these animals naturally have higher Omega levels from foraging on local flora and fauna. Also consider including fish and eggs in the diet.

    SUPPORT DIGESTION

    In addition to feeding species-appropriate food, it's important to address factors like anxiety and consider how age and medications may affect the pets gut health.

    NUTRITIONAL AIDS/SUPPLEMENTS

    Boost digestion with probiotics and natural aids. Supplements like fish oil, green-lipped mussel oil, kelp, and bone broth support skin health. Topical balms, creams, and probiotic sprays offer extra relief. Improving gut health with probiotics also benefits the skin.

    DIETARY SKIN SUPPORT

    A raw diet often provides a balanced Omega 3:6 ratio, which is beneficial for skin health. Choosing more wild-caught prey and fish can enhance these benefits even further.

    TAILOR FOOD AMOUNTS & FEEDING REGIMES

    Adjusting daily food portions and considering one meal a day can benefit pets with skin issues. Limiting feeding times gives the body, especially the liver, and the gut microbiome a chance to focus on other essential functions, rather than constantly processing food.

    ADDRESS POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL ALLERGENS

    Environmental chemicals, allergens, and toxins can affect both our health and our pets'. It's important to consider all sources of exposure, these substances can enter the body through the skin, airways, or gut, putting strain on the liver and other organs. While some factors can't be avoided, they can often be reduced.
