Evolutionary Pet Nutrition

The Pawganics Evolutionary Meals for pets were created in partnership with Sunshine Coast Animal Naturopath & Pet Nutritionist, Ruth Hatten, as we wanted to ensure our recipes were as nutrient dense as possible to ensure optimum health for your pets.

“Raw, organic and wild foods that your pet was designed to eat.”

- Ruth Hatten, Animal Naturopath & Pet Nutritionist

What you feed your pet really does matter!

Many of today’s cat and dog diseases arise because of inadequate or poor nutrition, stemming from a diet that consists of processed foods containing artificial ingredients that are cooked at very high temperatures

When you feed your pet the way nature intended, you are giving them the best chance to avoid disease, and to thrive.

Pawganics Evolutionary range of meals are designed with your pet’s evolution in mind. They consist of human grade, raw, organic and wild foods like organic chicken, beef, lamb, wild caught sardines, whole organic eggs, plus a special selection of booster ingredients intentionally chosen to optimise the health benefits of each meal.

Raw Food Meals for Dogs

Your dog has evolved from the grey wolf (Canislupus). Even though dogs have been domesticated for some time, nothing has really changed regarding their nutritional needs. They still do best on what their ancestors ate - muscle meats, bones, organ meats and plant matter. Fresh, whole, raw foods.

Raw Food Meals for Felines

Your cat has evolved from the African wild cat (Felislybica). Even though cats have been domesticated for some time, nothing has changed regarding their nutritional needs. They still do best on what their ancestors ate - muscle meats, bones, organ meats and a small amount of plant matter. Fresh, whole, raw foods.

Booster Ingredients

Human-grade, raw, organic meats are the foundationof our Pawganics Evolutionary meals for pets, complemented bytargeted booster ingredients that deliver essential vitamins,minerals, fats, and oils.

Ginger

Ginger is a powerful yet gentle booster ingredient. Ginger helps promote healthy digestion and nutrient absorption while easing occasional stomach discomfort. Its natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties support joint comfort, circulation, and immune health, making it especially beneficial for both active and ageing dogs and cats. Ginger enhances both the nutritional value and palatability of our recipes.

Garlic

Garlic, when used sparingly and with expert formulation, can be a beneficial booster ingredient in adult dog food. Garlic provides natural antioxidant compounds that help support immune function and overall vitality. It has traditionally been valued for its role in supporting cardiovascular health and healthy circulation, as well as contributing natural antimicrobial properties that help maintain internal balance.

Seeds Mix

Our carefully selected seeds mix provides a natural source of healthy fats, fibre, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Seeds offer gentle anti-inflammatory support and help promote healthy digestion, balanced blood sugar levels, and improved skin and coat condition. To ensure optimal nutrient absorption, we freshly grind our seeds before inclusion. Beyond their nutritional value, seeds help replicate the fibrous components - such as fur, feathers, and skin - that pets would naturally consume in a whole-prey diet.

Coconut

Coconut is rich in dietary fibre, healthy fats, protein, B vitamins, and essential minerals including manganese, copper, iron, and selenium. It also contains natural antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative stress. We include coconut not only for its nutritional benefits, but also to mimic the fibrous matter found in whole prey, supporting digestive health and evolutionary balance.

Organic Greens Blend

Our organic greens blend - featuring spirulina, barley grass, alfalfa, nettle leaf, and kelp - provides a concentrated source of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, flavonoids, and amino acids. These nutrient-dense greens support immune health, cellular function, and overall vitality, helping to round out a complete and biologically appropriate diet.

Fresh Wheatgrass

Fresh wheatgrass is a true nutrient powerhouse, packed with chlorophyll, zinc, and vitamins A, C, and E. Even in small amounts, it delivers powerful antioxidant support, helps combat free radicals, supports liver function, aids natural detoxification, and contributes to fresher breath and reduced body odour.

Nut Mix

Our nut mix supplies high-quality protein, healthy fats, fibre, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Nuts are freshly ground to enhance digestibility and nutrient absorption, ensuring your pet can fully benefit from their nutritional profile while supporting sustained energy and overall health.

Gogi Berries

Goji berries are a nutrient-dense superfood rich in fibre, vitamins A and B, and antioxidant vitamins C and E. They also provide plant-based protein, iron, and calcium. Wolves have been observed consuming berries in the wild, which is why we include goji berries as a natural immune-boosting ingredient to support overall vitality and wellbeing.

Sunflower Lecithin

Sunflower lecithin is a natural source of phosphatidylcholine and healthy fats - compounds that are present in every cell of the body. Lecithin plays a vital role in cellular integrity, brain function, and nervous system health. It supports immune strength and may aid memory, learning, and overall cognitive function in both dogs and cats.

Green Lipped Mussel Powder

Green-lipped mussel powder is a powerful natural source of omega-3 fatty acids, glucosamine, and chondroitin. It supports joint mobility, skin and coat health, digestion, cellular function, and overall wellbeing. We use only pure, freeze-dried green-lipped mussel powder sourced from the pristine waters of New Zealand to preserve maximum nutritional integrity.
