A dog’s meal should be built around the nutrients their body needs, not the number of healthy sounding ingredients we can fit into a bowl.
Dogs need nutrients such as amino acids, fats, vitamins and minerals in the right amounts and from forms their bodies can use. Adding more vegetables, fruits and wellness ingredients does not automatically make a meal complete or appropriate.
For example, chia, turmeric, spirulina and blueberries may be useful in certain situations, but they cannot replace the animal foods that provide the foundation of a dog’s diet.
The question is not, “How many superfoods are in the bowl?”
It is, “Does this meal make sense for a dog’s physiology?”
