Reminder: rotate your proteins!
Rotating the protein sources that you feed your furry companions can make a big impact on their health - for the better🤗
Every protein provides a different combination of nutrients, and no single protein source can provide every nutrient that your dog or cat needs to be at their optimal level of health.
Some proteins (such as duck or lamb) have higher fat contents, some are a bit higher in protein than others, and every protein source has its own unique amino acid profile.
Additionally based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) some proteins have cooling, neutral, warming or hot energies, feeding certain proteins can help alleviate certain issues in your pet’s overall wellness. For instance duck and rabbit are considered cooling proteins🧊these can help pets that are experiencing hot spots and any other skin irritations. Pork and beef are considered neutral proteins, while chicken and turkey are warming proteins and lamb is considered hot🔥Pets with arthritis or joint pain can often benefit from warming or hot proteins.
Keeping their diet varied with any and all proteins that they do well with is the best way to reap the benefits that each protein has to offer.
Which proteins are you feeding and rotating?!🤔🐶🐱
