Eye Health


Dog’s are peoples’ best friend, their companion, their baby. For some humans, dogs are their eyes, their freedom to move through the world. And eyesight isn’t just important for assistance dogs, but for regular every day dogs, too. Their sight allows them to play, cuddle, eat and stay safe. Some breeds like Labradors, Poodles, Cocker Spaniels and Australian Cattle Dogs are prone to vision problems, but blindness is possible in any breed. A dog can become blind from genetic diseases, injury, aging and nutrients deficiency. That’s right — the way you feed your pet matters! Just like heart, brain, gut and teeth health, diet makes a huge difference in the longevity and happiness of your pet.


Blind dogs can continue to live enriched, long, happy and loved lives, but there are so many benefits to feeding your furry friend well, including avoiding permanent disabilities like blindness, diabetes, and deafness. The important question is: what can you do?  

What you can do is feed your pet organic, high-quality, raw meat specifically designed by a reputable vet for the wellness of your pet. How do you find that? Here, of course! Bella and Boots is the perfect, easy way to protect your pet’s health because of the delicious and nutritious ingredients found there.


For example, antioxidants such as vitamin E, vitamin C and carotenoids (a compound found in the bright colours of food) are crucial for healthy eyes. Antioxidants reduce free radicals and prevent damage from oxidation, keeping your body young forever. Antioxidants do the same for your pet and are found in a range of ingredients found in our Bella and Boots food packs. Raw meat is packed with antioxidants, as well as fish and seafood, nuts, seeds and leafy green vegetables and herbs. All of our Bella and Boots food packs include chicken, beef, sardines, spinach and pak choy, nuts and herbs to boost antioxidants and keep your pet young and healthy. 

Similarly, raw meat and particularly seafood, are super high in Omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids help reduce inflammation, improve blood flow and fortify the building blocks of the body, such as the retina. Fatty acids keep the cells in your pet’s body healthy and undamaged, allowing them to see better and for longer. 

There are tons of other amazing benefits to raw, organic meat specifically for your pet’s eyesight. So many that we can’t list them all in one blog! But another great benefit of raw, organic meat is that all of the important nutrients inside don’t go to waste. Raw meat offers excellent bioavailability for both dogs and cats and the heating process doesn’t break the meat down. The bioavailable nutrients found in raw, organic meat are readily absorbed by pets, ensuring they receive the maximum benefits for their eyes and overall health.

Those sweet puppy dog eyes are safe with us. When you feed your pet our Bella and Boots pet mixes, you’re feeding them everything they need to stay happy, healthy and enjoy their life!
