🥩 PET FOOD & ENZYMES: The Missing Link in Your Pet’s Health 🧬🐾
Did you know that enzymes are the life force in food? They play a crucial role in your pet’s overall wellness by supporting:

🌀 Digestion
⚡ Metabolism
🧼 Detoxification
🛡️ Immune function
🛠️ Cellular repair

🌿 Why Raw Matters
When food is raw and whole, it naturally contains its own living enzymes—designed by nature to help the body break down, absorb, and utilize nutrients effectively. This allows your pet’s body to focus on thriving rather than just surviving.

But here’s the problem…

⚠️ The Enzyme Loss in Processed Foods
Most commercial pet foods (especially kibble and canned) are subjected to high-heat processing, often reaching 121°C or higher. This destroys all natural enzymes, leaving the food biologically inactive—meaning your pet’s body must work overtime to digest it using its own limited enzyme supply.

Over time, this can lead to:

🐕‍🦺 Poor digestion

🐈 Reduced nutrient absorption

🧬 Weakened immunity

💤 Low energy and vitality

✨ Food Should Do More Than "Meet Requirements"
At Betty’s, we believe food should do more than just meet the bare nutritional minimums—it should:

Nourish 🌱

Energise ⚡

Heal 💖

Enzymes are a critical part of that equation. Without them, even the most “complete & balanced” pet food may fall short of supporting true vitality.

👉 Ready to level up your pet’s health?
Start with fresh, enzyme-rich, raw food. Your pet’s body—and tail—will thank you. 🐾

🌀 Why Protein Rotation Matters in a Raw Diet 🐾
When feeding a raw diet, many pet parents focus on meeting basic nutrient needs — but optimal health goes beyond that. At Betty’s, our goal is to nourish the whole animal, building vitality, resilience, and long-term wellness.

One of the core principles in raw feeding is diversity in animal proteins. Rotating between different protein sources isn’t just a nice idea — it’s vital.

Here’s why ⤵️

🥩 Benefits of Protein Rotation
✅ Balanced Nutrition Over Time
Each protein source offers a unique nutrient profile — amino acids, fats, vitamins, and trace minerals. By rotating proteins, your pet gets access to the full spectrum of nutrients, reducing the risk of both excesses and deficiencies.

✅ Improved Gut Health & Digestion
A varied diet supports a more diverse gut microbiome. That diversity is linked to stronger digestion, healthier poops, and even better mood and immune function.

✅ Stronger Immune Resilience
Different proteins stimulate different immune responses. Variety helps build immune tolerance and reduces the risk of sensitivities or allergies from overexposure to a single protein.

✅ Supports Vital Force (Qi in Traditional Chinese Medicine)
In TCVM, variety helps maintain energetic balance. Cooling, warming, and neutral proteins all play a role in keeping the body’s energy flow (Qi) in harmony.

⚠️ The Risk of Feeding Just One Protein
Feeding only one protein (like just chicken or just beef) over time — even in a balanced raw meal — can lead to:

Nutrient imbalances 🧪

Food intolerances 😕

Picky eating 🐶🐱

Weak immune responses 🧬

💡 How to Rotate Proteins:
Start by introducing one new protein every 1–2 weeks.

Aim for 3–5 different proteins in your regular rotation (e.g., Rabbit, Turkey, Wild boar, lamb, duck, fish).

Include a variety of muscle meat, organ meats, and bones for full nutritional coverage.

Aids in liver and kidney detox with its enzyme and probiotic profile.

⚠️ Things to Keep in Mind
🧪 Start slow to check for tolerance.

❄️ Raw or gently pasteurized is best to preserve enzymes.

🐶🐱 Leaky Gut in Pets – What You Need to Know!

Leaky gut happens when the lining of the intestines becomes damaged, letting toxins, bacteria, and undigested food particles pass into the bloodstream.
This can trigger the immune system, lead to inflammation, and cause a host of chronic health problems over time 😟

🔍 Common signs of leaky gut include:
💩 Chronic diarrhoea or loose stools
🐾 Itchy skin, hot spots, or rashes
👂 Recurring ear infections
💨 Gas or bloating
🍽️ Food intolerances or allergies
😴 Fatigue, irritability, or anxiety

💡 What can you do to help?
✔️ Feed a high-quality raw diet to reduce gut burden
🦴 Add gut-healing supplements (like collagen, slippery elm,)
💊 Limit antibiotics and steroids when possible – they disrupt gut balance

Supporting gut health is foundational for overall wellness – and the good news is, it can often be improved naturally 🌿

09/07/2025

🐾 Did you know?
Chronic inflammation is often at the root of joint pain, stiffness, and arthritis in both dogs and cats 🐶🐱

❗Many pet foods – especially processed kibble – contain ingredients that contribute to inflammation over time, including:
🚫 High-glycaemic starches
🚫 Low-quality fats
🚫 Synthetic additives
🚫 Grains and legumes that spike blood sugar

These hidden stressors can silently fuel systemic inflammation and worsen joint degeneration over time 💥

🌿 From a holistic perspective, the key is to reduce that metabolic burden.
✅ A balanced raw diet helps support the body’s natural anti-inflammatory pathways, nourishing joints and supporting mobility — without the inflammatory load.

✨ Choose real food. Reduce inflammation. Help your pet feel their best, naturally.
