Five Reasons We Include Vegetables In our Pet Meals

Five Reasons We Include Vegetables In our Pet Meals

When we look into the history of grey wolves and wild cats, the ancestors which will eventually evolve into our furry babies dogs and cats, there's one thing we noticed: animal proteins made up most of their dietary intake. These proteins are vital for their health, growth and happiness. Knowing this about our fur babies ancestors has helped up to develop pet meals that honour their evolutionary history and help them to thrive. So, knowing that protein makes up most of your pet's diet, what makes up the other 10 ish percent? 
Vegetables! And there's five reasons we, and evolution, include vegetables. 
One. Interest.
Including vegetables in your pet's food helps create interesting taste and texture to keep your pet coming back for more. Coconut, ginger, seeds, nuts and berries all provide a ton of interesting flavours to add to the fresh taste of raw meat. That little piece of thoughtful variety will keep your pet coming back for more every breakfast, lunch or dinner. 
Two. Nutrients.
These extra ingredients are packed of important vitamins and nutrients. They're super powered booster ingredients, full of antioxidants, vitamin C, healthy fats and proteins. You can check out the specific booster ingredients we include and why we chose them on our website here
Three. Bulk.
Including nutrition-boosting ingredients helps to fill your pet up without excess meat and NO harmful filler ingredients like grains. Nuts, berries and coconut are a great addition to a meal (whether you're feeding a human, or a furry friend) that can help fill your belly and prevent overeating. Overeating can be a common worry in dogs, so it's important to provide them with food that is delicious, filling and nutritious.
Four. Hydration.
Vegetables are hydration boosters for your pet. They contain tons of fibre and water content to keep their guts moving. Hydration can also help with skin elasticity and fur shininess. Brain and heart health are also buoyed by hydration, keeping these important organs moving. 
Five. Evolutionary.
Including vegetables like wheatgrass, berries and ginger honours your pet's evolutionary diet. Wild dogs, cats and, our pets great ancestors, lions and wolves, all eat vegetation in their diet. Vegetables and similar ingredients are a natural part of 'the circle of life' as the Lion King explains. 
Vegetables are an important part of the diet of both dogs, cats and humans. They are packed full of important nutrients, filling, delicious and intuitive to your pet's diet.
