What’s New for 2026?

After months of research, taste trials (and yes, even more testing!), we’re thrilled to announce three powerhouse ingredients joining our recipes:

  • Quinoa - Gluten-free quinoa adds gentle fibre and plant protein, making it a great fit for dogs with sensitive tummies.
  • Algae – rich in DHA & EPA to support brain, vision, and skin health
  • Lung meat – a nutrient-dense, highly digestible protein


đŸŒ± Why Quinoa?

🌊 Why Algae?

Algae is a natural source of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) – two essential omega-3 fatty acids that are vital for dogs of all ages.

🧠 Brain Health

  • DHA is a key structural fat in the brain, supporting memory, learning, and cognitive development in puppies.
  • DHA & EPA help maintain neurological function in adult dogs, slowing age-related decline.

👀 Vision Support

  • DHA is essential for healthy retinas and sharp eyesight.
  • Puppies given DHA show stronger retinal function and clearer vision.

đŸŸ Skin & Coat Health

  • EPA’s anti-inflammatory properties ease itching, allergies, and irritation.
  • Together, DHA & EPA promote a glossy, resilient coat and protect the skin barrier.


⚡ Extra Benefits

  • Supports joint mobility by reducing inflammation
  • Boosts cardiovascular health and circulation
  • Strengthens immune defences against infections

 

đŸ„© Why Lung Meat?

  • Lung is a lean, nutrient-rich organ meat that dogs love – and it’s as healthy as it is tasty.
  • High in protein: complete amino acid profile for growth, repair, and energy
  • Low in fat & calories: perfect for weight-conscious pups
  • Vitamin & mineral boost: rich in haem iron, zinc, selenium, and B vitamins (especially B12) for strong immunity, healthy blood, and bones
  • Highly digestible. and softer than many organ meats, making it ideal for puppies, seniors, or dogs with dental issues

✹ In short:

 Together, they make our recipes more nutritious, more delicious, and simply the best for your dog’s wellbeing.
