💧 Renal support diets shouldn’t mean poor-quality ingredients.

Many prescription renal diets are ultra-processed and rely heavily on fillers, low-bioavailable proteins, and starches to reduce phosphorus. While these diets have their place, it's important for pet parents to know there are fresh, real-food options too.

When the kidneys need support, quality matters even more.
Our pets deserve nutrition that helps their body — not ingredients they struggle to process.

🐾 What’s commonly found in prescription renal kibble

❌ Maize flour & maize gluten
❌ Beet pulp
❌ Wheat gluten
❌ Hydrolysed animal proteins
❌ Vegetable oils & refined fats
❌ Ultra-processed starches
❌ Low moisture (not ideal for kidneys)

These formulas help manage phosphorus — but often at the cost of digestibility, moisture, and food quality.

✅ Fresh Renal-Support Diet Focuses On

✔ High-quality, species-appropriate proteins in controlled amounts
✔ Naturally lower-phosphorus meats like turkey & fish
✔ Moisture-rich meals to support kidney function
✔ Bioavailable minerals & natural antioxidants
✔ Omegas for inflammation support
✔ Easy-to-digest whole foods for gentle nutrition

A fresh renal-support diet example, found at Betty's :

🦃 Turkey muscle meat
🫀 Turkey organs (controlled portion)
🐟 Cod (low-phosphorus protein & omega support)
🥬 Low-oxalate fruits & vegetables

💡 Real food = real nutrients + better hydration + gentler digestion.

For pets with kidney concerns, improving food quality can help:

✨ support energy
✨ promote appetite
✨ maintain muscle
✨ provide natural antioxidant support
✨ hydrate the body where it matters most

⚠️ Always work with a vet or nutrition professional when formulating renal diets — especially raw/fresh. Each case is different, and lab values help guide protein & phosphorus needs.

✨ Why Rotate Liver in Your Pet’s Diet? ✨
Liver is one of the most nutrient-dense foods we can offer our dogs and cats…
but not all liver is the same!

Each species provides a unique nutrient profile — meaning when you rotate liver sources, your pet benefits from a broader spectrum of vitamins & minerals instead of relying heavily on just one.

Here’s why that matters 👇

🌟 Different micronutrient strengths

Beef liver = rich in copper & zinc

Pork liver = powerhouse for iron & B-vitamins

Rabbit liver = extremely high Vitamin A & great taurine source

Rotating helps ensure balanced nutrition without overload of any one nutrient — especially Vitamin A, which can accumulate over time if only one liver source is fed.

🌱 Variety = better gut health
Pets thrive on variety! Different organ textures and nutrient compositions support diverse gut bacteria, digestion, and immune function.

🔥 Prevents picky eating
Exposing pets to multiple protein sources early helps avoid “single-protein pickiness” — especially important for kittens and puppies.

🧠 Nature intended diversity
In the wild, carnivores don't eat the same prey every day — they rotate based on what they catch. We replicate this biological wisdom in a balanced raw diet.

📌 Tip for Raw Feeders

Aim to rotate 2–3 liver types over time — not necessarily every day, but throughout your meal plans.

Your pet’s body will thank you with:
✅ stronger immunity
✅ healthier skin & coat
✅ improved detox pathways
✅ balanced vitamin + mineral intake

Little changes like this make a big impact on long-term wellness 💚

🐑 Lamb Treats – Nourishment with Warmth & Energy 🐾

Lamb isn’t just delicious — it’s a deeply nourishing, warming protein that supports your pet’s health in so many ways 💚

✨ Rich in Vital Nutrients:
Lamb is naturally packed with Vitamin B12, iron, and essential amino acids that help maintain energy, stamina, and strong muscles. It’s especially beneficial for active pets, growing puppies, and those recovering from illness or weakness.

🌿 Warm Nature (TCM Perspective):
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), lamb is considered a warming food, meaning it helps build internal warmth and vitality. It’s often recommended for pets who are cold-natured — those who love to snuggle by the heater, seek warm spots, or feel stiff in cold weather.
Feeding warming proteins like lamb can help bring their body back into balance, especially during winter or cooler months ❄️

🩸 Qi & Blood Nourishment:
Lamb is thought to nourish Qi (energy) and build blood, promoting vitality and strength. It’s wonderful for supporting overall health, resilience, and that happy sparkle in your pet’s eyes ✨

🍲 Stomach & Spleen Support:
TCM often uses lamb to strengthen the stomach and spleen, helping to improve digestion and nutrient absorption. This means your pet can get more goodness out of every meal.

💕 Is Lamb Good for Pets with Cancer?

Yes — in many cases, lamb can be a great choice for dogs and cats with cancer, especially when chosen carefully and used in balance.

From a Western nutrition perspective, lamb provides high-quality, easily digestible protein that helps maintain muscle and support recovery. It’s rich in B vitamins, iron, and healthy fats that give energy and help keep the body strong.

In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, lamb’s warming nature helps rebuild Qi and Blood, which is ideal for pets that are cold-natured, weak, or depleted from illness or treatment.

However, for pets with “hot” cancers or heat signs (such as inflammation, panting, redness, or excessive thirst), lamb may be too warming. In those cases, it’s better to balance the diet with cooler proteins like duck, rabbit, or fish 🐟

Always pair your protein choices with anti-inflammatory foods and supplements — such as omega-3s, medicinal mushrooms (like Reishi or Turkey Tail), and fresh vegetables — to help the body fight inflammation and support healing naturally.

So whether you’re looking for a nutrient-rich treat, supporting recovery, or simply wanting to give your pet a warm, comforting snack during cooler seasons, Betty’s Lamb Treats are a beautiful, species-appropriate choice your pets will love 🐶🐱

🐇 Rabbit Ears for Dogs & Cats 🐾
When it comes to natural treats, rabbit ears are one of the most underrated yet incredibly beneficial additions to your pet’s raw diet!

These crunchy, species-appropriate chews can be fed with or without fur — both options have their place.

✨ With fur: The fur acts like a gentle, natural digestive brush. As it moves through the gut, it helps sweep away built-up waste, mucus, and old food residue. This supports a cleaner, healthier digestive tract — allowing your dog or cat to absorb nutrients more efficiently and maintain a balanced gut microbiome.

✨ Without fur: These are a great choice for those who prefer a cleaner chew or are just introducing furry treats for the first time. They still provide the same satisfying crunch, rich in natural protein and cartilage that supports dental and joint health.

🐾 Perfect for sensitive pets – Rabbit is a novel, hypoallergenic protein, making it ideal for dogs or cats with food sensitivities, allergies, or digestive issues.

🐾 Supports natural instincts – Chewing on whole-prey style treats like rabbit ears satisfies your pet’s instinct to chew and tear, helping reduce anxiety and boredom while keeping teeth cleaner.

🐾 Aids in detox & gut health – The natural fur fibres act as a mild cleanser for the digestive system, helping to keep stools firm and regular — particularly useful for pets transitioning to raw or those prone to loose stools.

So whether your pet’s tummy needs a little extra help, or you just want to offer a natural, healthy snack that supports their body inside and out, furry rabbit ears are an excellent addition to their raw routine 🐶🐱

🌿 Natural. Gentle. Instinctively good.

💚 Supporting Our Senior Dogs & Cats 💚
Just like us, our pets’ needs change as they get older — but with the right nutrition and natural support, they can stay happy, mobile, and full of life for many years to come 🐾✨

Here are some gentle ways to help your senior pets thrive:

🐾 Collagen & Hyaluronic Acid – fantastic for keeping joints flexible and comfortable. You can find both in Betty’s Healthy Joints, designed to nourish cartilage, improve mobility, and support aging hips and joints.

🐾 CoQ10 – a key nutrient for heart and cellular health. It helps support energy production and vitality, especially in senior pets. Keep a lookout — we’ve got something exciting coming soon featuring CoQ10 👀💛

🐾 Omega 3 – essential for brain, skin, and heart health. Our new Omega 3 supplement is coming soon and will be a great addition to your senior’s daily routine.

🐾 Milk Thistle – gently supports the liver, helping the body process toxins and medications that older pets might need.

🐾 More Fresh, Boneless Meals – senior pets often benefit from a little extra boneless meat in their meals to make digestion easier and provide extra moisture.
This doesn’t mean removing bone entirely — just balancing meals with a bit more boneless content to support older tummies and joints.

🐾 Heart Treats – a fun, tasty way to show love while giving them a little extra support for heart health.

Growing older doesn’t mean slowing down — it just means caring smarter 💕 Give your senior pets the love, comfort, and nourishment they deserve.
