The Ultimate Guide to Supporting Your Dog’s Nutrition Naturally
As caring guardians, ensuring our dogs enjoy a healthy, balanced diet is at the heart of everything we do. A dog’s diet has a direct impact on their energy levels, coat condition, digestion, and overall well-being. With so many food options on the market, how do you make the best choices for your furry friend?
At Betty & Butch, we’re passionate about natural, high-quality nutrition, and we’ve designed this guide to help you navigate the world of dog food with confidence.
Why Choose Natural Dog Food?
Natural dog food has become increasingly popular—and for good reason. Unlike some commercial products packed with artificial additives and fillers, natural dog food is crafted to deliver wholesome ingredients that your dog would encounter in nature.
Here are some key benefits of switching to natural dog food:
-
Improved Digestion: High-quality, minimally processed ingredients are easier for your dog to digest, reducing tummy troubles.
-
Shinier Coats: Natural oils and fats from ingredients like salmon and flaxseed enhance coat health.
-
Better Energy Levels: Nutritious food fuels your dog’s adventures, keeping them active and happy.
-
Reduced Allergies: Many dogs show a significant improvement in skin and digestive issues when switching to natural recipes.

Understanding Your Dog’s Nutritional Needs
Every dog is unique, and their diet should reflect their age, breed, size, and activity level. Here’s a quick breakdown:
-
Puppies: Growing pups need protein-rich diets to support their rapid development. Our Puppy Food Collection is packed with nutrients for strong bones and healthy growth.
-
Adult Dogs: For adults, it’s about balance. High-quality proteins, carbohydrates, and healthy fats keep them thriving. Check out our popular Adult Dog Food Options.
-
Senior Dogs: Older dogs benefit from lower-calorie diets with added supplements like glucosamine for joint health. Our Senior Dog Food offers gentle, nourishing recipes.
Delicious Treats That Support Nutrition
Treats can play a role in your dog’s overall health when chosen wisely. Avoid treats with artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives and opt for natural options instead. Explore our Natural Dog Treats Collection for healthy, tail-wagging snacks.
