How gut health affects our dogs

The micro environment in the gut influences our dog both physically, mentally and emotionally. Gut health is therefore important for overall health. Dogs have a unique collection of different types of bacteria, fungi and viruses in their gastrointestinal (GI) tract affecting everything from absorption of nutrients, the production of vitamins and other important substances to protecting the body from disease. In addition, dog's cognitive health and mood are also dependent on a well-functioning microbiome.

Zaffi’s journey with pancreatitis and IBD

Zaffi’s journey with pancreatitis and IBD

Zaffi is one of many dogs in our country living in shelters. In 2017 he could finally move to his forever home. "We came across a scrawny little, nervous creature coming back to his pen from an outing. His minder introduced him as ‘Baby Butch’ and said that he was her favorite among all the dogs in the shelter. We knew how difficult it would be to only pick out one dog of all the hopeful souls, but in many ways Zaffi made the choice for us", says Bernhard.

Quality dog food for Baloo

Quality dog food for Baloo

I have always had a passion for nutrition and obtaining optimal health for myself and those I love. Knowing that it plays a key role in your health, your mind and spirit. I have since moved away from anything processed and always constantly learning about how much food affects your today and all your tomorrows. So when I heard about Nala Health and that their mission is to provide the same for dogs. It was a no-brainer. Equally knowing that it is supporting a local brand with a very minimal footprint makes the choice so much easier. Knowing how much care and attention was placed into cultivating all the unique ingredients to create one holistic and sustainable diet is exactly what I want to be able to provide my fur baby.

Can dogs eat insect protein?

Can dogs eat insect protein?

Black soldierfly larvae are the perfect source of protein for dogs as they contain all the 10 essential amino acids dogs require as well as healthy fats, fibre and minerals. There is a pressing need to find new, more sustainable sources of food. In particular, we need more environmentally-friendly sources of protein, as meat production accounts for approximately 60% of CO2 emissions globally. Marine sources of protein also put pressure on the environment with overfishing and unethical fishing methods. Insect protein provides one solution for complete, tasty and sustainable protein for both our dogs and us.
