Dietary fiber
Green vegetables are rich in fiber, which supports healthy digestion. Include spinach, kale, green beans and beet, which are rich in vitamins and minerals as well as fiber.

Including fiber in your dog's daily food bowl helps to regulate the bowels, improve consistency and prevent constipation and loose stools. Fiber can improve the absorption of nutrients and regulate blood sugar levels.

Inulin
Chicory root is a source of inulin, a natural prebiotic that can promote the growth of good bacteria in the gut. When the digestive tract is filled with good bacteria, nutrients are more easily absorbed and distributed throughout the body.

Glucosamine and chondroitin
Glucosamine is a combination of glucose, a sugar, and glutamine, an amino acid. It contributes to the formation and repair of cartilage. Together they are ideal for building healthy joints and counteracting the breakdown of joint tissue - especially important for our older pets and puppies. Beef, lamb, poultry and bones are a good source of these nutrients.

Omega-3 fatty acids
Omega-3 fatty acids are found throughout the body, especially in the brain and eyes. These nutrients are crucial for healthy brain function, growth and development, especially in puppies.

They also play an important role in the proper functioning of your dog's blood vessels, heart, immune system and lungs. Omega-3 fatty acids also support healthy skin and coat.

Calcium
Calcium helps to build and maintain strong bones. It is also needed for the heart, muscles and nerves to function properly. In the wild, cats and dogs would eat bones as well as meat to get the calcium they need.

Phosphorus
Phosphorus is essential for the formation of bones and teeth, which is very important for young puppies and kittens. It is needed for the formation of proteins so that the body can grow, repair and maintain its cells. Phosphorus also helps the body make ATP, a molecule the body uses to store energy. Phosphorus is found in bony raw materials, which is why ZIWI Peak recipes contain ground bone.
