Kale, blueberries, green tea—you know the common superfoods that are healthy additions to your diet. But did you know some superfoods are great for dogs and cats as well? Our companion animals have unique dietary requirements, but some foods are so packed with micronutrients, macronutrients, and other good things that every dog and cat could benefit from them. Let’s look at the three unique superfoods found in ZIWI’s Z-BOOST Superfood blend you might want to add to your fur baby’s bowl today!
1. Green Tripe
Green tripe is unprocessed and unbleached, so it’s chock-full of tons of nutrients that support whole-body health. It’s also highly palatable and irresistible to even the pickiest dogs and cats! Green tripe is a high-quality protein that contains B vitamins, minerals, omega-3 fatty acids, digestive enzymes, and probiotics. Thanks to this blend of nutrients, green tripe helps support:
- Digestive health and nutrient absorption
- Muscle growth, repair, and function
- Bone health
- Skin & coat health
- Healthy inflammatory response
- Cognitive function
- Metabolic processes
- Nervous system health
Key nutrients in green tripe: probiotics and fatty acids.
2. New Zealand Green Mussels
New Zealand Green Mussels are another protein-rich superfood packed with omega-3 fatty acids that help support skin & coat health, cognitive function, and joint health. They also contain a variety of minerals that support immune function, thyroid health, and energy metabolism. They’re also rich in antioxidants and vitamins, plus they contain choline for brain and gastrointestinal health. What’s more, mussels have chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine, which help support joint health and mobility.
Key nutrient in mussels: omega-3 fatty acids.
3. Organic Kelp
Kelp is an excellent addition to dog and cat foods because it’s a source of trace minerals they can’t produce on their own. It has vitamins, antioxidants, fiber, fatty acids, iodine for thyroid health, and other minerals that support whole-body health. What’s more, it’s low in calories, so it packs a nutritious punch while also helping with weight management.
