Why feeding with Healthy Paws is designed to keep your dog healthy
Vets and pet shops are often asked about health problems or issues which actually have a direct link to the quality of food your dog is being fed. At Healthy Paws, there’s a reason why we include every element of the recipe and why we specify a particular quantity of food – it’s all designed to alleviate everyday problems and to keep your dog as healthy as possible.
Creating the ideal recipes is not just a case of palatability, we add specific herbs and ingredients to our complete meal choices so that these everyday problems can be avoided.
