Packed with omega-3 fatty acids. Reduces inflammation, supports joint health, improves coat shine, and boosts brain function. Great for older or arthritic dogs.

Antioxidant powerhouse. Help protect cells from damage, support cognitive function in senior dogs, and are low in calories. A brilliant treat.
✓ Fresh or frozen · great as training treats · feed in moderation
🌿
Turmeric
Natural anti-inflammatory. Can support joint health, liver function, and digestion. Often used in small amounts as a supplement for dogs with arthritis.
✓ Small amounts only (¼ tsp per meal) · mix with coconut oil to activate curcumin
🥚
Eggs
Complete protein source with all essential amino acids. Rich in riboflavin and selenium. Support muscle maintenance and a healthy coat.
✓ Cooked is best · raw whites can cause biotin deficiency · 1–2 per week
🥥
Coconut Oil
Contains lauric acid, which has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Supports skin health, digestion, and helps activate turmeric. Use in small amounts.
✓ ¼ tsp for small dogs, 1 tsp for large · too much can cause loose stools
❌ Never Feed These
🧅
Onion & Garlic (all forms)
Contain thiosulphate which damages red blood cells and causes haemolytic anaemia. Toxic in all forms — raw, cooked, dried, or powdered. Even small amounts build up over time.
🍇
Grapes & Raisins
Can cause sudden acute kidney failure, even in small amounts. The exact toxic compound is still unknown, which makes any amount dangerous. Avoid completely.
🍫
Chocolate
Contains theobromine and caffeine. Can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, muscle tremors, seizures, and in severe cases, death. Dark chocolate is most dangerous.
🥑
Avocado
Contains persin, which can cause vomiting and diarrhoea in dogs. The pit is also a choking hazard and intestinal blockage risk.
🌰
Macadamia Nuts
Even a small amount can cause weakness, vomiting, tremors, and hyperthermia. Symptoms typically appear within 12 hours of ingestion.
🧂
Salt & Salty Snacks
Excessive sodium causes ion poisoning. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhoea, tremors, and seizures. Never add salt to dog food.
