✅ Ingredients Breakdown & Benefits
 
🐟 Minced Salmon
High in Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA) → anti-inflammatory, supports joints, skin, and brain.
 
🐓 Organ Meats (Liver, Kidney, Heart)
Liver: Rich in vitamin A, iron, and B vitamins.
Kidney: High in selenium, B12, and omega-3s.
Heart: Excellent source of taurine and CoQ10, vital for heart and muscle function.
 
🥦 Vegetables (Broccoli, Carrot, Cauliflower, Kale, Pumpkin)
Provide fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins C & K.
Pumpkin is great for digestion and helps regulate stool consistency.
Kale and carrots offer beta-carotene (vitamin A precursor), lutein, and other phytonutrients that support eye and immune health.
 
🥥 Coconut Oil
Provides medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which can be quickly used for energy and have antimicrobial properties.
 
🌱 Flaxseed & Chia Seeds
High in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega-3.
Good for skin, coat, and joint support.
Also offer fiber and plant protein.
 
🌿 Kelp
Natural source of iodine, which supports thyroid function and overall metabolism.
 
🥚 Eggshell
Excellent source of calcium to support bones and teeth.
Should be finely ground for better digestion and safety.
 
💪 Joint Support Focus
This mix is particularly beneficial for joint health due to:
High omega-3s (salmon, flax, chia, kidney)
Anti-inflammatory phytonutrients (broccoli, kale, pumpkin)
MCTs from coconut oil (modest joint support via anti-inflammatory effects)
Calcium from eggshell (supports bone strength around joints)
 
✅ Overall Notes
This is a nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory mix, great for senior pets, pets with arthritis, or active dogs.
To ensure complete nutrition, you might consider:
Adding zinc & vitamin E, which are often low in homemade diets.
Balancing the calcium:phosphorus ratio (important when feeding a lot of meat/organs).
Consulting a vet or pet nutritionist if feeding long-term.
