Ultimate Guide to Bowl Boosters: Nutritious Extras to Add to Your Pet’s Meals and Their Benefits

Ultimate Guide to Bowl Boosters: Nutritious Extras to Add to Your Pet’s Meals and Their Benefits

Many of us are constantly looking for ways to improve our pet’s health, and making sure that they are receiving all the nutrients they need in their diet is often step number one. While we may think our pets are getting all their goodness from their daily meals, it can be beneficial to consider what they may be lacking, and supplement this with some top quality pet bowl boosters.

Natural pet meal enhancements can make a world of difference to your pet’s overall health, especially if they have certain dietary requirements or health needs that either prevent them from receiving certain nutrients, or which mean they require extra support through additional supplements. 

These additions to your pet’s meal can be in the form of superfoods for pets, or natural add-ins and mixes which can help boost your pets nutrition and promote better overall health. We are going to take a closer look at some of the best nutritious pet foods additives and raw feeding supplements you can introduce into your pet’s diet to keep them in the best health possible.

Benefits of bowl boosters for pets

If your pet has a pre-existing medical condition or any dietary concerns, consult your vet before introducing new foods or meal supplements to ensure they are suitable for your pet's individual needs.

Once you have been given the all clear by a veterinary professional, a whole new world will open up for you and your pet. Here are some of the benefits of bowl boosters and additional food supplements for your pet:

Boost pet nutrition Australia 

Adding different foods and supplements to your pet’s meals is an excellent way to boost their nutrition, making sure that they are receiving everything they need for optimum physical maintenance. Depending on your pet’s needs and the supplements you choose, introducing natural additives to your pet’s diet can improve their bones and muscle strength, keep their coat shiny and their teeth clean, as well as reduce the risk of certain health issues or minimise the effects of pre-existing ones. 

Keeps meals interesting 

 Supplements are not just good for your pet’s body, they can also be good for their mind. Keeping your pets meals interesting with various flavours and textures will help to keep them stimulated and excited about mealtimes. Adding ingredients with crunch, hydration elements and strong flavours can all ensure that your pet is always raring and ready to go when it comes to their food.

Puts you at the forefront of your pet’s health 

Closely monitoring and regulating your pet’s nutrition puts you in the driver's seat when it comes to their health. You know that you are doing everything you can to meet your pet’s nutritional needs, and there are no mysteries about what they are consuming - whether it is dietary supplements or vet-approved homemade pet food ideas, you have firsthand insight into what your pet is or isn’t receiving through their food.

Healthy extras for dog meals

Dogs are known for their love of food - getting them NOT to eat things is often the challenge! But how much do we know about our dog’s dietary health? Are they getting everything they need from their main meals alone? What foods or supplements could help enhance your canine companion’s overall nutrition?

We have put together a list of some of our favourite healthy extras for dog meals which can give your pup’s bowl that extra boost of goodness:

Raw Goat’s Milk 

Considered an easy-to-digest probiotic, the enzymes in raw goat’s milk not only help aid in your dog’s digestion, it can also reduce joint pain and inflammation, as well as promote better skin health and reduce the effects of more serious issues like kidney disease and even cancer.

The taste of the milk is often very appealing to dogs, and so you likely won’t run into any issues getting them to drink it - of course, like all good things, it should be given in moderation.

Quail Eggs 

Boasting a health-boost cocktail of amino acids, vitamin B12, vitamin A, folate, riboflavin and selenium, quail eggs are an excellent source of nutrients for your dog. But what do all these vitamins do? Here’s the rundown:

Amino acids 

An essential ingredient for your dog to thrive, amino acids promote good bone, ligament and nail health, alongside boosting general immunity and bodily functions, as well as aiding in mood and anxiety issues.

Vitamin B12 

This marvellous vitamin helps with the running of good brain function and a healthy nervous system, as well as playing a crucial role in digestion and the growth of blood cells.

Vitamin A 

Vitamin A supports your dog’s vision and bone growth, as well as supporting their immune responses and aiding in essential functions such as reproduction.

Folate 

The important functions of folate include supporting proper tissue growth and generally making sure that your dog’s cells are working as they should.

Riboflavin 

A superhero when it comes to the production of red blood cells, riboflavin makes sure your dog has enough of these cells to carry adequate oxygen around their body.

Selenium

Selenium helps with your dog’s metabolic function, and is also considered a strong antioxidant.

Big Dog Probiotic 

 It is often said that good health starts with the gut, and dogs are no different. If our pup’s tums are out of whack it can send the rest of their body into disarray, and so supporting their digestion with a high quality probiotic can be extremely beneficial.

With a high strength formula of over 20 billion good bacteria per serving, as well as the addition of 5 digestive enzymes, this probiotic not only helps promote good digestion, it supports your dog’s immune system and allows them to properly absorb and utilise the nutrients they receive from their food. 

Cat meal toppers Australia

Unlike dogs, cats are known for being slightly more finicky, and so finding foods for your feline can be a bit more tricky. Cats are more likely to turn their nose up at things they don’t like, so how can you keep their meals tasty and interesting whilst also optimising their nutrition?

Let’s dive into some of the best cat meal toppers which can help enhance your cat’s health: 

Insideout Cat Formula 

A magic mixture of pre and probiotics, along with a whole host of natural holistic ingredients, this formula is made specially to enhance your cat’s digestive health and support a healthy immune system.

A top notch bowl boosting choice for your feline friend, you may also notice benefits such as improved coat and skin, better stool quality, as well as possible stress and anxiety management - a good gut is truly the foundation for a happy, healthy pet.

Raw Goat’s Milk 

Not only is raw goats milk a great probiotic choice for dogs, cats can also reap the benefits of this tasty treat. By drinking the milk raw, the pasteurization process is skipped, meaning that all the beneficial enzymes remain intact and ready to help your cat!

We know cats can be a little picky when it comes to their meals, but they seem to love this stuff, so you know they are getting some goodness in where they need it. Not to mention that the milk is gentle enough on the system that kittens can be reared on it to give them a solid boost of all the good stuff they need to thrive - vitamins, minerals, probiotics, electrolytes, the lot!

Simply Seaweed 

Ascophyllum modosum, a species of kelp, is a superfood which offers a whole host of health benefits to your cat. It is best known for its support of good oral health due to its natural antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-adhesive qualities - it is excellent at stopping bacteria from sticking itself to the enamel of the teeth, resulting in less tartar build up and a loosening of the plaque that already sits on the teeth. 

Keep your pets happy and healthy from their teeth all the way down to their tail!
