Ingredients to help your dog thrive
Our unique blend of 39 ethically sourced functional ingredients have been selected to optimise your dog’s health and wellbeing, supporting and promoting the below health benefits.
Formulated to help prevent common health issues
As fellow dog lovers, we understand that our dog’s health is at the forefront of every decision we make for them. We have therefore chosen ingredients that are scientifically proven to actively support your dog’s health, aiming to prevent common health issues and concerns:
Herbie Wilde is naturally high in fibre from ingredients like peas, pumpkin and seeds; these keep dogs full longer and help maintain a healthy weight. Our food is lower in saturated fats and richer in omega oils than many meat-based diets. It is no surprise, therefore, that a study into dog diets showed that meat-based diets contained higher calories than well-balanced complete plant-based food.
Herbie Wilde has been formulated to exclude the most common allergens for dogs (beef, chicken, wheat, soy and dairy). We are also grain-free and naturally hypoallergenic, making us perfect for dogs suffering from food-related allergies and intolerances.
Our food should not only help to resolve skin issues, but it also has active ingredients such as whole linseeds, sunflower oil and chia seeds, chosen for their rich omega 3 & 6 content to help promote healthy skin and a glossy coat.
We have formulated a selection of ingredients chosen to support good gut health. We use ingredients such as apples to positively modulate the gut bacteria, yeast to prevent harmful bacteria from adhering to the gut wall, and chicory root to feed good bacteria for all-round gut health. We have also included MOS & FOS prebiotics to support a healthy microbiome and immune function resulting in better stool consistency.
Our recipe is formulated with health-supporting beta-carotene-rich ingredients like alfalfa, sweet potato, carrots, and added taurine to promote good heart health for longevity.
The most extensive study of its kind found that plant-based is the “healthiest and least hazardous dietary choice for dogs”. Additional research by the University of Guelph concluded that dogs could live up to 1.5 years longer on a plant-based diet.
Herbie Wilde is high in anti-inflammatory ingredients such as seaweed, blueberries and marigolds, which support strong, healthy joints (making it an excellent fit for senior dogs). Vitamin D is integral to a dog’s skeletal system since it helps control calcium deposits and calcium absorption from the bone.
Herbie Wilde also focuses on all-important heart health by including adequate omega 3, vitamin B, taurine, and its precursors, lysine and methionine, all carefully formulated to support a plant-based diet and optimal health in our dogs.
