Chief Protein and Calcium Sources 

Pork Sirloin and Pork Liver – Lean, Nutrient-Rich Choices for Canine Health

Pork sirloin and liver are excellent, nutrient-dense additions to a dog's diet. Rich in essential nutrients like iron, zinc, thiamine (B1), B6, B12, and selenium, pork supports overall well-being. Selenium is a trace mineral known for its powerful anti-cancer properties and joint-protective benefits, as well as its role in healthy thyroid function. Zinc is crucial for immune health and supports the activity of over 300 enzymes in the body. With complete amino acids, pork provides the perfect foundation for muscle growth and repair.

Though it may surprise some, pork liver is also a lean choice, containing only 4.4 grams of fat per 100 grams, mostly in the form of beneficial polyunsaturated fats. In addition to the nutrients in pork muscle, pork liver provides a rich source of vitamin A, copper, and all the B vitamins. In integrative veterinary practices, pork is regarded as energetically neutral, with nourishing qualities ideal for a balanced canine diet.

Wild-Caught Mackerel – A Nutrient Treasure from the Pristine Goan Waters

Our wild-caught mackerel, sourced from the clear waters off the Goan coast, is packed with Omega-3 essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. Omega-3s play a vital role in supporting heart health, promoting a healthy skin and coat, enhancing cognitive function, and providing anti-inflammatory benefits that aid in cancer prevention. Rich in vitamins D and B12, as well as essential minerals like selenium, magnesium, and potassium, mackerel contributes to a balanced diet by supporting thyroid health, reducing oxidative stress, boosting immunity, and aiding in DNA replication and glutathione production. We use only the flesh of the mackerel—no skin or bones—sourced directly from traditional Goan fishermen to ensure the highest quality and freshness.

Eggs – Nature’s Perfect Protein

Eggs are packed with protein power, offering the highest biological value for protein and setting the gold standard: 7 grams of high-quality protein in just 75 calories, along with all essential amino acids. But the benefits don’t stop there. Eggs are also rich in choline, a crucial nutrient for brain health, liver function, and metabolism, as well as powerful carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health.

Choline plays a key role in liver health, muscle movement, metabolism, and cognitive function. It supports the integrity of every cell in the body, aids in cell signaling, and is essential for DNA synthesis and the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for both voluntary and involuntary muscle movement. It also assists in removing cholesterol from the liver, making eggs beneficial for maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.

In addition to choline, eggs provide all the B vitamins, abundant selenium, Vitamin D, and many other essential nutrients. Our eggs come from our own free-range farms, ensuring quality and care from farm to table.

Dark Green Vegetables:

Broccoli – A Nutrient-Rich Cruciferous Powerhouse

Broccoli, a member of the cruciferous vegetable family, is packed with fiber, essential vitamins, minerals, and powerful phytonutrients. Rich in vitamins K1, B9, potassium, and the powerhouse nutrient vitamin C, broccoli is a key player in a balanced diet. Its anti-cancer benefits are largely attributed to plant compounds like sulforaphane, indole-3-carbinol, and kaempferol. These, along with carotenoids and quercetin, support cardiovascular health, eye health, and may even help alleviate allergies. Our non-GMO broccoli is sourced from Indian farmers, ensuring the finest quality and nutritional integrity in every bite.

Kale – The Nutritional Powerhouse

Kale is a true nutritional powerhouse, belonging to the same dark green vegetable family as broccoli, making it a strong ally in the fight against cancer. Rich in vitamins A, K, B6, and C, and essential minerals like calcium, potassium, copper, and manganese, kale is a foundational element for a balanced diet. It’s also packed with the flavonoids quercetin and kaempferol, which provide powerful heart-protective, anti-cancer, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory benefits. Kale’s antioxidant properties help counteract oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals, supporting overall health. Our non-GMO kale is sourced directly from Indian farmers, ensuring freshness and quality in every leaf.

Spinach – A Nutrient Powerhouse in Every Leaf

Spinach is packed with nutrients in a low-calorie, high-fiber form. As a member of the beet family, it provides a rich supply of vitamins A, C, K1, E, and folate (B9), along with essential minerals like iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. However, spinach’s true superpower lies in its unique plant compounds, including carotenoids and polyphenols. Spinach is one of the top sources of quercetin, a powerful antioxidant known for its infection- and inflammation-fighting properties. High in lutein and zeaxanthin, spinach supports eye health, while kaempferol, another antioxidant, is associated with lower risks of cancer and chronic disease.

Additionally, spinach contains alpha-lipoic acid, an antioxidant essential for the production of glutathione—the “master antioxidant”—which supports neuromuscular health and diabetes management. Spinach also boasts SQDG and MGDG, natural compounds shown in studies to suppress cancer cell growth. Our non-GMO spinach is sourced directly from Indian farmers, ensuring the finest quality and nutrient-richness in every bite.

Fruits and Seeds:

Blueberries – Bursting with Health-Boosting Bioactive Compounds

Blueberries are packed with an impressive array of bioactive compounds that powerfully support health. Among them, anthocyanin—a potent anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory flavonoid—stands out. Other phenolic compounds, such as quercetin, kaempferol, myricetin, and chlorogenic acid, provide an antioxidant capacity that no multivitamin can match. Thanks to these nutrients, blueberries rank among the highest for nutrient density on the Aggregate Nutrient Density Index (ANDI).

Rich in vitamin C, blueberries also offer essential vitamins and minerals for a complete and balanced canine diet, including vitamins K, B6, B9, choline, A, and E, as well as potassium, magnesium, copper, phosphorus, zinc, and manganese. Together, these compounds support healthy bones, skin, heart, brain, and digestion, while also playing a role in the fight against cancer and diabetes.

Strawberries – Nature’s Flavorful Nutrient Powerhouses

Strawberries are not only delicious but are also packed with unique, naturally occurring nutrients. Rich in flavonoids—a class of phytonutrients that contribute to the vibrant colors of fruits and vegetables—strawberries boast powerful health benefits. These flavonoids, including anthocyanin, procyanidin, and quercetin, along with ellagic acid (another potent polyphenol), provide anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimutagenic, and anticancer properties. In addition to these protective compounds, strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C and essential nutrients like potassium, magnesium, and folate, making them a tasty, wholesome choice for health.

Apples – Nature's Nutritional Powerhouse

Apples are packed with benefits for overall health, particularly gut health. Hippocrates once said, “all disease begins in the gut,” and apples support this vital “virtual organ” with their insoluble fiber, which helps maintain gut health and regular movement. Apples also contain pectin, a prebiotic that feeds beneficial gut bacteria, boosts immune function, supports hormone production, and aids in mineral absorption, including calcium and phosphorus.

The soluble fiber in apples slows down digestion, helping control blood sugar and providing a feeling of fullness, making them a valuable addition for blood sugar management. Additionally, this fiber helps prevent cholesterol buildup in blood vessel linings, reducing the risk of atherosclerosis and promoting heart health.

Sunflower Seeds – Nutrient-Packed Powerhouses

Sunflower seeds, the fruit of the sunflower, offer a wealth of nutrients in each tiny seed. They are an excellent source of manganese, supporting joint health, as well as vitamin E and selenium, both of which help protect cells from free-radical damage. Rich in beneficial plant compounds like phenolic acids and flavonoids, these seeds provide antioxidant benefits, while their linoleic acid supports heart health. Studies show that these nutrients may help reduce chronic inflammation, improve circulation, and lower “bad” LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. We use sprouted, non-GMO sunflower seeds sourced from Indian farmers, that are carefully dried to enhance their beneficial plant compounds.

Healthy Fats 

Omega-3 Fish Oil – Pure and Potent Nutrition from Iceland’s Finest

Our Omega-3 fish oil is a premium blend of Icelandic sardine, herring, anchovy, and mackerel—fish recognized by the National Research Defense Council as among the safest, cleanest, and most sustainable sources. This oil is rich in essential fatty acids, EPA and DHA, known for their anti-inflammatory properties and benefits for skin and coat health, cardiovascular and neuromuscular systems, joint support, and cognitive function. High-quality pet foods aim for an Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio below 10:1, and our Icelandic-sourced fish oil is carefully tested for purity to ensure the ideal balance. To retain full potency, we add the oil to our recipes after cooking, preserving its natural, non-GMO benefits.

Organic kelp is a powerhouse sea vegetable, abundant in iodine, an essential mineral necessary for healthy thyroid function in both canines and humans. We use organic, non-GMO kelp from Canada, rigorously tested to ensure purity. Alongside iodine, kelp provides vitamins K, A, and folate, as well as key minerals like magnesium, iron, and calcium, all vital for bone strength and cellular health. Rich in fucoidan (a beneficial polysaccharide) and fucoxanthin (a red-orange carotenoid), kelp is recognized as one of the most potent cancer-fighting foods available.

Root Vegetables 

Carrots – A Treasure Trove of Phytonutrients

Carrots are packed with powerful phytonutrients, making them a valuable addition to a balanced diet. Rich in beta-carotene (which the body converts to vitamin A) and lutein, carrots help protect eyes from sun damage, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Their carotenoids and anthocyanins act as antioxidants, lowering cancer risks and promoting cardiovascular health. With beneficial fiber, this non-starchy root vegetable supports digestive health, helps regulate blood sugar, and can be useful in managing diabetes. Carrots also contain vitamin C, which boosts immune function and aids iron absorption, while vitamins A, K, and potassium contribute to overall nutritional balance.
