As a veterinarian, it's my passion to ensure our four-legged friends receive the best care and nutrition available. Over the years, I've seen many trends in dog food come and go, but it wasn't until recently that I came across something that really caught my attention - insect-based dog food from Nala Health.
The world of pet nutrition is vast and ever-evolving, with new discoveries and trends continually emerging. Among the exciting developments is the burgeoning interest in insect protein as a viable and nutritious alternative to traditional meat-based dog food. Leading this eco-friendly parade is the humble yet potent Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL). Based in South Africa, with links to our original home in Norway, Nala Health, a premium dog food company, has been pioneering this shift towards dog food containing insect protein. By championing the health of our furry companions, Nala Health is nurturing a more sustainable and eco-conscious food production system.
Originating from the Cederberg region of the Western Cape, rooibos has for centuries been a staple of South African communities. Not just an aromatic tea for humans, this unique herb has found its way into our dog food, offering a plethora of antioxidants that boost health and improve digestion for our furry friends. Due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, rooibos can be beneficial for dogs with allergies affecting the skin. It might help soothe the skin, reduce redness, and alleviate itching.
