At Bella and Boots, we include seasonal vegetables like celery, zuchinni and other asian greens for fibre and fluids. But the star of our blog today, the small, sometimes hidden, herbs and spices used can make the biggest difference.

Our Beef & Turmeric blend for example, contains turmeric, parsley, chickweed, and a vitamin & mineral blend including spirulina and more. Turmeric is said to be a wonderful anti-inflammatory, used to aid in restoring and easing the pain of joints, as well as adding flavour and a visual element to the food. Parsley is a common green herb used in food for humans, but also in pet food as a great antioxidant, source of fibre, vitamins and minerals. Chickweed is a green leafy plant that aids in nutrients like iron and magnesium, it is a detoxifier, cleansing the colon and providing fibre.

Other small but mighty heroes in our food blends including seeds. Pepitas or pumpkin seeds help to prevent cancer, lower blood sugar levels, improve heart health and prevent heart disease, improve sleep, reduce inflammation and help with bladder health. Flax meal also reduces the risk of cancer, improve cholesterol and lower blood pressure. Omega 3 and Omega 6 like found in pepitas, flax meal, fatty meats and fatty acids keep dogs coats shiny and skin healthy.

All these herbs and more are utilised in Bella and Boots Raw Pet Food to create nutritional, delicious meals which can be served raw or cooked. Bella and Boots uses grassfed, organic, high quality meat which provides your pet with the right balance of fats like Omega 3 and Omega 6, protein, fibre and hydration. 

There’s lots of different things to consider when buying for your pet, so Bella and Boots can help you decide what meals are best for your furry friend's need; don’t be afraid to give us a shout (or a bark!) to explore all the options available to you and your pet.
