THE INSIDE STORY

Here’s what decades of human healthcare and animal nutrition experience have taught us about feeding your pet.

science-based nutrition

Research has shown that your dog is likely to thrive on a well-balanced diet consisting of high-quality protein – meat, poultry & fish along with veggies and fruit. A high-meat diet, flavored with a hint of pureed veggies and fruit, is ideal for supporting the carnivore in your cat. Add the optimal ratio of Omega 6 to 3 fatty acids which our stews now provide, and you have a great foundation for longevity, happiness and health!

HUMAN GRADE, LIGHTLY PROCESSED FRESH FOOD

Feeding dogs and cats this kind of diet leads to higher levels of good bacteria in the gut. Plus, human grade recipes (like Caru Homestyle Stews) are more digestible than regular food, so pets don’t need to do their business as often or eat as much.

PROPERLY BALANCED NUTRIENTS

Not too much of one or another nutrient – that’s the key to overall health. A healthy diet for dogs and cats contains the correct proportions of protein, carbohydrate and fat.

THE RIGHT ESSENTIAL FATS

Often fat gets a bad rap, but the simple truth is that not all fats are bad. Diets rich in the right fatty acids actually promote more bacterial diversity in the gut, which is beneficial for whole-body health. The most important essential fatty acids are Omega-6 and Omega 3, which must come from what pets eat because their bodies can’t make these nutrients by themselves. That’s why paying attention to the quality and balance of these fatty acids is essential for your pet’s health.

BALANCED OMEGAS

Improper ratios of Omega-6 and Omega-3 could jeopardize your pet’s immune system, cognitive function, and overall health. Too much or too little of either fatty acid can send the wrong signals in the body and lead to serious issues. In short, they are extremely important for your best friend.

INFLAMMATION-TAMING SUPPORT

Both Omega-6 and Omega-3 are known as hormone regulators. Omega-6 is responsible for triggering pro-inflammatory hormones, while Omega-3 releases anti-inflammatory hormones within the immune system. An Omega-6 overload (or a high ratio of Omega-6 to 3) may result in chronic, low grade body inflammation – a key contributor to many common issues like arthritic joints, allergy-like symptoms, poor coat or skin, obesity, heart problems and even cognitive decline. Whereas increased Omega-3 levels and a low ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 have a suppressive, anti-inflammatory effect.

WHAT ALL OF THIS MEANS FOR YOUR PET

Caru Homestyle Stews have a positive immunity-boosting, inflammation-taming effect thanks to our Balanced Omega Blend, which makes them great for promoting the overall health and vitality of every pet!
