đŸ¶Â The World’s Best Dog Food Just Got Even Better!

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:

  1. Buckwheat – a natural prebiotic packed with all 20 amino acids
  2. Algae – rich in DHA & EPA to support brain, vision, and skin health
  3. Lung meat – a nutrient-dense, highly digestible protein
      
     
     
     
    đŸŒŸÂ Why Buckwheat?

We’ve always loved quinoa in our recipes – it’s a fantastic addition to any dog’s diet (see our article here). But new evidence shows buckwheat may be the superior choice for your dog’s gut health.

 

  • đŸŒ± Natural prebiotic that nourishes the gut microbiome
  • đŸ’Ș Contains all 20 amino acids, including the 10 essentials dogs need – making it a complete protein for muscle strength and immune support
  • đŸŒŸ Rich in fibre to aid digestion and prevent constipation
  • 🔋 Low glycaemic index for steady energy release – ideal for diabetic or overweight dogs
  • 💖 Packed with antioxidants and minerals (rutin, magnesium, manganese, copper) to support circulation, heart health, and reduce inflammation
  • đŸš« Naturally gluten-free – safe for dogs with wheat sensitivities
  • ✹ Brilliant for hypoallergenic diets, as it’s rarely used in dog food and has a unique protein profile
     

 

       🌊 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:
  - Buckwheat for gut health
  - Algae for brain, eyes, and skin
  - Lung meat for lean protein power. 
 Together, they make our recipes more nutritious, more delicious, and simply the best for your dog’s wellbeing.
