Why choose poultry free?

While Australian authorities advise there is currently no evidence that H5 bird flu has entered Australia's commercial poultry industry (only seabirds at this stage), some dog owners are looking for poultry free feeding options.

Heart & Soul has never used poultry in our Lamb & Rice recipe. It's simply premium Australian lamb, quality ingredients and a formula designed for dogs that thrive without chicken.

No fear. No hype. Just great nutrition.

Signs Your Dog Food Isn’t Working for Your Dog

If your dog isn’t thriving, their food is usually the first place to look. Here are the most common red flags:

Itchy skin or constant scratching, often linked to unnecessary fillers, poultry, or legumes.

Soft stools or frequent tummy upsets are a sign their gut isn’t coping with the formula.

Dull coat or excess shedding, when nutrition should show in the shine.

Low energy or mood changes, because food fuels behaviour as much as the body.

Fussy eating or skipping meals because some dogs avoid food that doesn’t agree with them.

If you’re seeing any of these, it might be time for a gentler, cleaner option.

At Heart & Soul, our recipes are complete & balanced. We formulate our food to support long term vitality, not short term reproductive cycles. Unlike ancestral feeding patterns that fuel reproduction and survival, today’s pets thrive on diets tailored for cellular repair, immune strength and graceful aging.
Because modern pet nutrition isn’t just about sustenance, it’s about longevity, comfort, and joy.

Not all pet foods are created equal and sometimes what’s left out matters just as much as what’s included.
At Heart & Soul, we choose not to use artificial colours, flavours, fillers, or unnecessary additives.

Why? Because pets thrive best on clean, purposeful nutrition that supports their health long-term, not just their appetite short-term.
Your pet’s body knows the difference. 💛

New Year celebrations are exciting for us, but confusing for our pets 🐾

While we enjoy fireworks, noise and late nights, many pets don’t understand what’s happening and can feel frightened or overwhelmed. A quiet space, familiar routines and a little extra reassurance can make a world of difference for them.

As we welcome the New Year, we just want to say thank you for all your incredible support throughout the year. It truly means so much to us.

We wish you and your pets a safe, calm and happy New Year ✨
Here’s to another year of health, love and gentle care for our furry family members

A good diet keeps working while your dog sleeps because the body never truly “turns off.” During rest many of the most important healing and maintenance processes take place and these rely on the nutrients provided by your dog’s food.

Cell Repair and Renewal:
While your dog sleeps, their body uses proteins, vitamins, and minerals from their diet to repair cells, rebuild tissues, and replace old or damaged cells. This helps maintain strong muscles, healthy skin, and a robust immune system.

Immune System Support:
Nutrients such as antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins (like C and E) help reduce inflammation and strengthen immune defenses. Overnight, the immune system performs its “housekeeping” identifying and repairing damage or fighting off potential infections.

Hormone Regulation and Metabolism:
Sleep is when hormones responsible for growth, metabolism, and stress balance are most active. A nutrient-rich diet provides the building blocks for these hormones, ensuring your dog’s metabolism stays steady and efficient even at rest.

Brain Detox and Memory Processing:
During deep sleep, the brain clears out waste and consolidates learning. Omega-3s (especially DHA) and antioxidants support this process, promoting healthy cognitive function and emotional balance.

Digestive Health:
The gut continues working through the night by digesting food, absorbing nutrients, and balancing the microbiome. A wholesome diet with fibre, probiotics, and easily digestible proteins helps this system run smoothly and efficiently.

In essence, a good diet doesn’t just fuel your dog during the day, it also provides the essential tools their body needs to restore, repair, and rejuvenate overnight. Sleep and nutrition are partners in your dog’s overall vitality.
